If it makes you happy whats four thousand lousy bucks in the grand scheme of things. Besides which it looks like a nice car! I don't know what nice mkiii's are selling for where you live but I don't know anyone willing to give them away. CONGRATULATIONS!

If you really get stuck and can't find the problem (short etc.) do what I did and rewire them completly using the original switch and the hot side of the ignition (so you dont accidently leave them on and drain the battery) . That way you can run them with your parking lights and look cool! Just...

In 1987 (when I was a young lad) my mom was going to buy a 280z (or was it a 300z by then...doesn't matter). Anyway, as an avid reader of every car magazine at the time I informed her that the z car was a p.o.s. and that if it were me I'd be looking at a Supra. I even told her what color I liked...

Thnks for responding RAKKASAN. The fluid is red and doesn't smell burnt. There is no sludge in the pan. In addition other then the occasional symptom of neutral (I don't know what else to call it) where 4th should be it shifts fine. It's really strange. I am still getting 63 and 64 code (2nd...

My Supra is occasionally (under acceleration) slipping into neutral where it should be going into 4th (O/D). I got a code 63 and 64...#2 shift solenoid and lock-up solenoid respectively. So I pull the trans pan check the solenoids and they seem ok (per TSRM test). I put a new filter on it and...

I too have an N/A that im going to turbo and for what it's worth I've done some research on this and what I've found by talking to people who've done the conversion (adding a turbo) and the swap is that the 7mgte swap is the way to go, particularly if you have mechanical ability and are able to...

ECU/s are notoriously sensitive to any kind of bad or misplced current. Has your car given or been given a jump start lately? One of the most common ways to short one out is by jump starting your car and connecting the negetive cables to negative on both batteries rather then have the jumper...

I replaced the cable and the pinion gear for the speedometer and I am still going into neutral when it should be shifting to 4th gear BUT only occasionally (I drove it 10 miles in the city traffic this moring and it did it twice) . Other then the 2 times it mis-shifted it worked perfectly with...

Thanks...I checked the codes and it came up 63, 64 and 42 as I recall. I am told these codes all relate to the broken speedo cable. Which turned out to be the pinion gear for the speedo and not the cable (oh well I have a new cable and pinion gear now). I just replaced both and cleared the ECT...

My speedo cable broke and the O/D light started blinking and then my car started slipping into neutral after the shift to 3rd gear and its an automatic???? Could the speedo causing errors in the speed sensors etc. be doing this??? HELP!!! Anybody who has experienced auto trans trouble please...

I've confirmed it's definitely in the transmision end of the speedo but I can't find a schematic or anything in the Toyota or Hanes maunuals that tells me what I need to know. I sure would appreciate anyone who is knowledgable on this to clue me in. WHAT IS IN THE TRANS THAT GOES SOUTH CAUSING...

:cry: My speedo started bouncing around for about 5 seconds and suddenly went dead. I figured the cable broke so I bought a new one and proceeded to install it. Cable went in smoothly enough but when I was removing the old cable where it enters the transmission a little piece fell out that...

Thanks Jeff I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and insight.

I don't mean to be dense here but...will this result in a automatic trans error light (O/D)? It sounds like that's what your saying.

:1zhelp: I am getting error codes 42,63,64. Just before I started getting auto trans error codes my speedo cable broke. The number 42 code indicates #1 speed sensor...could this be related to my broken speedo cable? Also how big of a deal is it to repair or replace speed sensors and solonoids?

Figured it out thanx

I've seen this TSRM but as I said the letters on my 87 diagnostic terminal don't match the ones on this TSRM. If you read the original thread with the layout of my diagnostic terminal you will see they don't match. I believe the online version is for a 1990 and they must have been different in...

My diagnostic terminal on my 1987 N/A doesn't have the same abbreviations as the terminals I've read about or seen. I need to check a code because I'm getting a blinking O/D light. I've looked at the threads and the pictures but my diagnostic terminal is laid out differently. If you go from...

Thanks...Thats kinda what I thought...I'll just save em for my turbo swap. :biglaugh:

I've got a 87 N/A with aftermaket, intake, exhaust and a few other minor mods and I was wondering if anyone knows what would I gain (if anything) by replacing my n/a injectors with turbo injectors? Or would it just run rich and burn more gas? I just happen to have a set of the turbo...
