    Removing power steering

    I recall being told I have to loop the lines going into and out of the rack to keep some fluid in the rack. If I remember correctly its the line coming off the banjo bolt. Is this correct? Am I missing anything else? Remove power steering pump and loop to/from steering rack lines to keep some...

    Taillight Bulbs Interchangeable?

    I switched my pre89 taillights for an 89+ set a while back. The Pre89 taillights worked fine 100% when I removed them. I noticed a little while ago that one of my 89+ taillight bulbs is out. Not the brake lights, just the running taillight bulb. Since nobody has made an offer for my pre89...

    High-RPM Cold Start

    This has happened 3 times total, I think once a week the last 3 weeks. I will start the car (From a cold start) and the RPMs will jump up to around 2K and stay there. Also, it sounds like there is a big air leak coming from the center of the firewall. Then, I shut off the engine. I crank...

    Spring Preload

    I have tried 4 different preload settings in the rear but still cannot get rid of the bounce from the rear whenever I go over any part of the road that isn't perfectly flat. It feels like the shock isn't absorbing the bump at all, it transfers to the chassis and throws me up and down in my seat...

    A/F ratio, RPM, and gas mileage

    This is all about low throttle, closed loop cruising, not going over 3000 RPMs. I'm curious if the RPM affects gas mileage, or if the A/F ratio can simply be read as how much fuel is being used. I imagine the RPM has an effect on the exhaust velocity, but am unsure if the change is big enough to...

    Velocity stack on turbo, + Catch can?

    I bought a velocity stack to put on the front of my turbo for special occasions (Not going to daily drive like that), but was wondering what I do with the hose going from the intake to the catch can, since there won't be any intake pipe anymore. Can I just leave the line unhooked from the intake...

    Im putting USDM 2JZ 550s into my 1JZ, but ran into a problem this weekend when I didn't have all the new o-rings that I needed.

    Octane, A/F, and overboosting

    How do I determine what octane is safe for what boost pressure and a/f ratio? My 57trim CT26 is overboosting and I want to run race gas until it's fixed just to be safe, and I'm wondering if I'll be ok using 100 octane till I get the boost down or if I'll need to be using 110. My fuel system...

    Passenger lock failing

    Sometimes when I put the key in the passenger door lock, it won't turn to lock. It can turn to unlock, but will refuse to turn the opposite way to lock. Usually locking the driver's door also locks the passenger door, but sometimes it does not. I can also play around with the lock and sometimes...
