    Need help. Alternator and Serpentine belt removal

    Is there any special way to relieve the tension off of the serpentine belt so that I can pull my alternator and have it tested? And do I need to time the motor before pulling the serpentine, I know that there are two separate belts. I am running into dead ends working on my 1j and will admit I...

    Need help diagnosing a problem.

It wouldn't start so I got it pushed into a parking lot and tinkered with it until it started again. The electronics would...

    Oil pressure gauge stopped reading

    Is this a pretty easy fix on a 1j? I imagine it is just a pickup/sensor on the motor somewhere?

    Good clutch setup for durability?

    New to the JZ scene...

    And I am beginning to realize that the guy I bought my Supra from didn't know much about cars. He's a talker and makes you think he knows a lot until you start learning more, but anyway I am just glad he didn't do the swap (professionally done according to him, and it is a clean swap) and I am...

    Fuel Pressure Regulator for 1jz?

    Does anyone know if any SR20 parts may crossover for a 1jz? My buddy has an extra full FPR kit for his SR20 that he has no need for and would sell me for dirt cheap but I don't know if it will bolt up to my 1j. I imagine that there is an FPR kit designated just for the 1jz but would it be...
