    Dimmer switch compatability:

    Well, just got a pm back from Mr. Lange, and he says the later style dimmer is plug n' play. So...yay me. : )

    Where does everyone buy their parts?

    I know that engine harnesses for pre-89 are getting more scarce. Not sure about interior pieces, but that's all that comes to mind as being possibly difficult to get

    Buy another stock or go aftermarket?

    By 'plate', I assume you're actually talking about the clutch disc? I've never seen much wear on a pressure plate. Anyway, you can replace just the disc, but at 375hp, you'll probably slip a stock clutch.

    Where does everyone buy their parts?

    Why don't you start by looking through the Supramania list of approved vendors?? There's quite a few.

    Changing my first head gasket, and maybe head!

    Yeah. I think the Cometic/ Titan comes in a 1.4mm.

    1st headgasket change--In process !!

    The UR underdrive pulley is commonly reported to cause premature failure to a number of parts in the rotating assembly. The factory unit is somewhat dampened by its rubber isolator. This absorbs much of the engine's vibration. the UR crank pulley does not do this at all. Plus, you're really not...

    code 34

    I doubt it has anything to do with the ps pump. As you'll probably hear from a number of people soon, it sounds like a boost leak. Check all of the intercooler hoses for cracks, especially on the sides you can't normally see. A common one to crack is the compressor output hose, as it's closest...

    brakelights not working

    It's certainly possible. You mean...you went inside to your computer, sat down, logged on, posted a thread...but didn't check your fuses?? : )

    iridium spark plugs, ct-26 trim

    iridium lasts longer, but copper is better for turbo- more conductivity.

    Aftermarket upgraded pistons?!?!

    I'm going to guess that they're not stock, but oem replacements. You said you bought it with a blown head gasket. If it had a BHG, then it almost certainly didn't have a MHG. ANYONE who is going to use forged pistons, is going to use a metal head gasket and arp's. They wouldn't spend $500 on...

    fail 1988 1/2 supra craigslist ad

    So it's an 89 with the 87 front end...and it's got a full 3" exhaust...on the stock elbow? ...It's got a Walbo 225? And when did Toyota stop putting the TEMS in the Supras??

    alignment of oil pump?

    To my knowledge, no. It's not timed to anything, it just spinny-spinny.

    Dimmer switch compatability:

    Does the 90-92 dimmer switch plug into the 87-89 harness plug? I was curious. Thanks.

    Nevermind

    On this same subject: Does the fuel pump have a one-way check valve in it? I was wondering what keeps fuel from backing down the supply side. My car is hard to start, and its because I have no 'at-rest' pressure. I'm just wondering if it's my FPR or my pump's check valve. Thanks.

    Battery charging issue....really need assistance on this:-(

    You said the fusible link was good- the black-coated loop wire? I'm trying to remember if that fuse was indeed part of the charging system. I remember it was on my old Z- in fact, the car had a few of those links. The only way to tell if they'd blown(aside from a multimeter) was to feel...

    Starter always engaged... HELP !!!!

    It's either the alarm has a short on the remote start hot line, or you have a stuck starter solenoid.

    Parts discount- thought this might be useful info

    NO, I don't have any affiliation with the company. I just went onto the advance auto website to price compare a part, and saw that thru 3/2, they have up to a 20% discount on orders of more than $150, and free shipping on anything over $75. My part was originally $178(which already was the...
