Hey, did you ever get this installed? I've been seeing more of these on fleaBay and thinking about picking one up.

The engine in the upper left is for the Nissan Skyline C110 "Ken and Mary", and the one on the right is indeed a 7M-GTE, taken from a Toyota Soarer kit and "hopefully" transplanted into my MKIII one! Wow. Engine swaps are just as hard at 1:24 as they are 1:1 !!!! EDIT: The first pic in the...

Just completed my MKIV.... BONUS POINTS!!!! Anybody guess what the engine in the upper right corner is? I'd ask about the engine in the upper left, but it's not a Toyota one.

Damn, will check mine this morning.

Now watch out on that. Most hose dealers will tell you what the temperature ratings are for those hoses, and I see nothing in the page that does. Depending on your area, you need to know roughly how hot those hoses can withstand otherwise you run into more serious problems with hoses blowing...

I'm only looking to increase the life of the engine by replacing whatever hoses I can get my hands on. This "wandering coolant Issue" has got me paranoid about where the next leak will spring from, and if I keep having to go back into the motor to replace stuff I want to do as much right the...

Question: is there a list of hose lengths and widths in inches so that when someone goes to a hose supplier, they can order that size? If there was, it would be a simple matter of getting 3 ~ 6ft. of hose and cut to length the various hoses by width.

I'm keeping an eye out for the high mech MKIII on fleaBay. If you find one, let me know ASAP. Thanks!!!

Yup, I've been keeping an eye out for those high mech kits, but nothing has popped up on fleaBay lately. I did open up the hood and targa on my Testors kit, and with the Soarer kit I'll be fashioning up an engine bay for my "transplanted" 7M. I have that project on hold though to finish up my...

Yup, I'm taking ALL that apart and resealing everything. Good pix!

Good eye! The kit came with added panels to make it a widebody along with the front lip and siderails, but I didn't use those in favor of the original body style. It also came with the rear window louver as well as the side glass ones, but I wanted the sunvisor instead of that so I could look...

Yup. Fujimi/Testors has one (no engine), Tamiya has a couple, and Ari has one, but most of those don't have an engine, and I like displaying mine. A lot of them are on fleaBay and can cost up to $50 to get one, even from Japan.

I've been getting a little pissed off with my Supra lately (follow my build and you'll see why!), so I went back to my other hobby, which is model car building. I picked up the MPC Toyota Supra MKII kit from fleaBay and just completed it. Here's the pix.... The kit is...

If you already have bought the 57trim turbo, you CAN get away with putting it in and using it, BUT you should immediately add a boost controller (you'll need one eventually) and keep it set at 8~9 lbs until the rest of the motor is ready for more boost. I hit this dilema when I saw oily smoke...

Most of the boost controllers I've seen have the instructions online, it's only a matter of searching them thru Google and downloading the PDF file. Which model controller are you talking about?

Bumping to top... I need to reread this thread and copy down the part numbers, as I still have a coolant leak around/behind the thermostat and I'm going to regasket pretty much everything, including replacing this hose. The leak is right beside the water pump (JUST replaced that) near the PS...

That was me. I was going to get Applesauce the disc of pix I had because ALL of them came out overexposed (someone monkeyed with my settings and turned up the brightness and contrast), but I haven't got his contact info yet. He's got Photoshop and can run them through better filters than I can...

I had my water pump fail on me and dump coolant all over the place, so I ordered a new pump along with all new belts to put in from Driftmotion. When D7M and I started into my engine bay to replace everything, we had already noticed that aside from the fluid that had gunked all over the pump and...

Lets see.... exactly WHY they call Australia the land of "DO NOT TOUCH THE WILDLIFE".... 1: Box Jellyfish - Cardio-Respiratory functions may stop in just 3 minutes. Neato. 2: Irukandji (another jellyfish) - only a centimeter in length, can barely be seen by the naked eye, makes a Portuguese...
