Hi All, My wiring on the socket (that goes to the CPS) is giving me real pain as two of the 4 wires on the other end of the clip (furthest from the CPS don't seem to be in properly and I have trouble starting the car sometimes if the wiring isn't where it should be. Once started it's all good...

Hi Guys, This might be a simple fix depending on where I placed it (which I believed to be correct) or a faulty Gauge. I thought before I get around to install the three gauges in the single din slot above my stereo that i'm going to get my boost gauge working first as from when we set it on...

Hi Guys, I've just bought 3 Auto Gauge Smoke series gauges... and i'm prepping the fitment but I think I may have to hold off with just the boost gauge slotted in the din slot until I can find exactly what i'm after. I have found this online.... only thing is I need to enquire if they'll...

Hi All, I'm just curious how long everyone idles on their first startup for the day or if the engine is back to cold after a few hour lapse. I have a 88/8 GT Limited w/ Digital Dash and I always wait atleast 2/3minutes until the temp gauge has gone up one bar, so that it's not on dead cold...

Hi Guys, I've got an intercooler i'm eager to get put on, but as with all things I'd like to make sure that what i'm putting on hasn't got any air leaks. I've looked around people recommend using Water with a die colour to check for any leaks, but naturally I'd think its different to the...

Hey every1... Don't know how or why but I started looking up the history of engines, I was first interested in when the first supercharger / turbocharger was invented... but then found myself reading about the diesel engine.... now given that engine works off massive compression... as there...

Hi all, I have a bit of a dilemma, I posted probably 3weeks back or so about how i'd go about replacing the gasket that sits under the turbo for the feed / return oil hard pipes and then I finally got around to going to my mechanic and seeing what he had to say about it. His imediate...

The video clip below I think is crucial for anyone wanting to understand how it all links together (an engine). http://www.metacafe.com/watch/689942/how_a_car_engine_works_3d_animation/ I realised what was meant by the Group A Supra having a knife-edged crank which referred to the counter...

Hey guys, I had been tossing it up for a while whether I was going to go 5spoke, 6spoke or BBS style honeycombs.... (like what Nate has to a degree)and I finally found the rims for my Supra that i'll stick with. The fronts are 235s, and rear is 265 dished on 18's. Hopefully my black Supra...

Hey guys :icon_razz , sorry for the noob topic but I've had some oil drip from the location of the turbo I recently replaced two of the hoses come from above it as they were rock hard and also giving out a bit.... and since I have a spare CT26 I decided to have a look at how the turbo's look...

Got my hands on some Forza 2 and boy is it fun... all assists off for some real hardcore stuff. The detail is insane, these pics are from the upload feature which it puts to forzamotorsport.com so they aren't the highest quality but the idea is there :)...

Hi everyone, Finally got around to getting some decent shots done, it is a 1988 August MKIII GT Limited, JDM. Only changes done to the photo is the plates. The car didn't look like this when I got it 9months ago, but I think like most car enthusiasts you want it to look the best possible...

How does everyone run their RCA's and Power to the rear for the amp/sub.... Do i need to strip out the rear seats and the side panels in order to do so? I'm installing 6by9s in the rear middle part and makin it look flush since I consider my Supra a 2seater. :). Just with my mate he's never...

I've done a bit of reading here, and see some reocmmendations for the front door speaker to be 4'' and back to be 5'' and 1/8, and then others saying 4'' for the front and back. My question is if anybody knows what the factory sizes are, if there is any data sheet or knowledgeable brain? I...

Hey guys n gals, tried doing a search on these forums, but nothing came up as far as someone giving out invites to Gmail... so here I go, PM me with your email, and i'll shoot you a invite if youre interested :). Im only posting this on the SupraMania forum, much love. :love:

Hey everyone, Just been thinking lately of a way to make the black plastics / rubber within our cars with that rich and lively colour. I.e. the Door Seals, the part where the Wipers are whcih is big piece of plastic, and any other part that can be detailed. What is the best product to...

I came back home yesterday and once I parked my baby in the garage.. and i was just lookin n thinking "can't wait till I put 19''s on her." then I come up and check out some pics on this forum i.e. Kwnates ride of the year, and it just amazes me how sexy the MKIII can look with just phat rims...

Hey fellas, Im wanting to get my brakes bled to get rid of all the air that may be present but i'm not sure because our Supra's have ABS if it's any different. From people who have done it, how do you recommend I do it, the best way.. I've also got Valvoline Performance DOT4 that I use for...

My mate that visits these Commodore forums showed me these two articles, I think they are great to really helping and explaining a lot about turbo's, a very nice read to fully understanding how turbo's work to fine detail. Just thought some of the SM members might find these an interesting...

Did some searching, seeing a few things on sale in this forum, just curious as to what is the best way to go around tuning my Air / Fuel ratio as my car is currently running rich. Some of the things that have popped up are, MAFTPRO, SAFCII??? Could it be the injectors gone bad causing it...
