Has anyone shaved/filled the license plate hole/indentation on our front bumpers? Trying to see what people have done in the past and what works/doesn't work. Thanks!
LoL. yeah... I started my interior color change like 4 years ago, only halfway done haha. I'm gonna have to refer to you when I restore my Supra from the ground up as well.

You can find cheaper sources elsewhere, I get mine off Amazon.
is that new foam or are you reusing the oem stuff?
So my buddy showed up with a laser thermometer. We determined that the car is NOT actually overheating. I bought and installed a cheap mechanical temp gauge with the sensor where the BVSV used to be as confirmation. Idle temps were at 200, moving temps 190. Given my thermostat is set to OEM temp...
My new fan failed the newspaper testing procedure as described on this site: http://www.mwrench.com/Whitepapers/FanClutchtest.pdf and most of you know how loud a MK3s clutch fan is... I can't remember the last time I could hear it locking up. Doesn't help that my downpipe ends all of two feet...
New radiator made no difference, same problem as before. Next up is to check the water pump. I'm starting to become very aggravated.
To double check, a good fan clutch should have fairly strong resistance when you try to stop it with the car running and engine hot, right?
Installed the new radiator today and made extra precautions to ensure it doesn't contact the frame or anything. I'm still not certain as to why the radiator has to be isolated even though it's still grounded. And if it's NOT supposed to be grounded, then I still have issues. Is it just for...
Mine is a Koyo, not sure why it would go bad, but the new one coming in is a Koyo as well. Aluminum 3 core. I think I might have parts of the frame contacting the radiator which might be causing corrosion inside the radiator, but I'm not certain.
Turns out it wasn't the clutch fan as I replaced that, car was warmed up and was burping it, revving it up every now and then and after 10 minutes or so it started to overheat again. Buddy told me to check for cool spots on the radiator and lo and behold the far right side of radiator end tank...
Interested as well, however I have buddies that were old Nissan guys and all of them have a hard time determining what is actually a CD009 because apparently even if people originally with those trans went into Nissan for repairs, they would often get gypped with a weaker CD00X trans. This is...
OK I see what you were trying to get at, mostly under 50mph, I rarely ever jump on a highway within a couple minutes of driving. Call it an OCD thing lol. However new breakthrough: and I feel stupid. But as I was trying to burp the car, I decided to test the clutch fan again. Resistance was...
No coolant loss, none at all lol. Yeah the rubber is all still there, and I make certain there is no contact between the radiator and body. I just came back from a mini Supra meet lol, but they were all MK4 guys... not very helpful LOL
That was very helpful actually as it sounds exactly like my...
