Wow man, The car is totally different since I had it! Good luck with everything! Hope it turns out well.

If you still have that little temp probe pressed against the radiator, it may be moving slightly during high G turns, and giving you a weird reading. It sounds like you have done a bunch of stuff to it since I had it. I took it on hour long trips to the lake for the weekend and never had any...

Same thing I was thinking. :sarcasm:

Yeah, I switched to Redline MT-90 and it made a crazy difference!

Yeah, I used the omni clear on the tails.

I actually bought the car without a majority of the mouldings. I then just purchased a set and did a rough sand, and painted them, and the followed with clear coat. I love the outcome of the tail lights though :love:

To answer multiple questions, I think im going to ask like $5,500 for it, but take offers. Its an 87 turbo, JDM engine w/ ~50k miles. All new seals on the front end of the engine, new intermediate steering shaft, PS pump rebuilt, brake calipers rebuilt, new Toyo Proxes 4 tires, 3" downpipe...

Yeah, it does have some orange peel. I buffed and wet sanded it for like 2 weeks. after doing it for so long I figured thats all the better I could get it. I bought a leveling lambs wool pad for my buffer, it helped out quite a bit. not perfect, but it just cost me like $250 plus my time.

Yeah, Defiantly the prep work, and then doing the wet sanding and buffing took the most time. The color is 1E0 I believe, From the Scion TC, called Flint Mica.

I don't have a bunch of before, but here are two, and the a pic of the taillight after i sprayed clear coat on it.

First time I have ever painted a car. Looks pretty good I think. I bought it and it was spray painted flat black over the tan original color. Took about a month an a half, but looks a lot better then it used too, especially for my first time painting too. Unfortunatly, I am going to have...

I replaced the JDM sensor with the USDM before i changed out the gauge cluster. And still didnt work. I have 2 gauge clusters, 2 boost pressure senders, 1 jdm OP sensor, 1 USDM sensor, 2 fuel level senders. I have been mixing and matching with the same final results. Must be some wires...

I always use premium in sports cars. Its only like another $3 total on your fill up to use it. If you can afford $3 you prob shouldnt have a 20 year old 6 cylinder sports car. :biglaugh:

Anyone else have any ideas? Could bad grounds cause this? :1zhelp:

Yeah, In the first post i mentioned that i replaced the JDM sensor with a USDM sensor, still didnt work. I have checked and replaced vac lines. The coolant, Tach, and Speed gauges all work great, just the three gauges on the right side don't. I really just want to get the fuel gauge...

Might be a stupid question, but were is the ecu located at on the supras. I'm a convert from honda's :aigo:

Hello, I have an 87 supra turbo, that has a jdm engine swap. The oil pressure, fuel, and boost gauges are not working properly. Both oil pressure and fuel needels just stay at the bottom, while the fuel warning light will light up if I am very low on fuel. The boost gauge will go to 0 once I...

Just picked up 4qts of that myself. Hope it will smoothen out shifts a bit. :biglaugh:

I just installed a used Fuel Level Sender, and another Stock Boost Pressure sender, and neither one made the gauges active. So, its either wiring, or the gauges themselves then right? Thanks

Think that the boost sensor and fuel level sender are bad as well?
