Hi Guys, Haven't posted here in a while however still knew my login details! :) I have an issue with identifying a boost leak and a little bit of background as to how it happened is as follows: 1. Was driving in the wet, 1st gear just wheelspins and 2nd gear was also losing traction when on...

Hi Guys, Did some research but it seems to be a maze of possibilities from what I've gathered so far as to what may be going wrong here. My car has been running perfectly fine with no mods done to it in the last year other than a full service (all bets + filters) in the last year. What is...

Hi All, I have a pretty interesting scenario as my car had fully functioning PPS (albeit it sometimes felt a little vague, but was none the less power steering) until my last oil+filter change which I did three days ago. I accidentally did the mistake of leaving the reds on for about 30...

Hi Guys, Just want to know which exhausts people rate as being of good quality with a decent price for a twin tip muffler, and where I can look to buy this from? I had a look slight look around and the X-Force muffler won't fit under our cars apparently... but the Magnaflow will. Guess...

Hi All, My Supra has the following done to it: - 3inch turbo back exhaust - Upgraded CT26 (I'm assuming slightly bigger trim than factory, nothing too crazy) - HKS Fuel Cut Defender - 270mm x 400mm x 100mm FMIC - Cometic MHG (Yet to verify) - MBC @ 10psi - K&N Filter Factory Replacement Now...

Hi Guys, Did a search for this but I'm after what us aussies specifically use as far as oils go with the 7MGTE. Read a few things from our resident oil guy and he recommends 0W30. I have been running last 2.5years the following: Mobile 1 Full Synthetic 5W50 (Although reading on here...

Hi All, I recently (few days ago) finally got the coolant temp gauge connected and I was surprised at my temperatures the 7MGTE was giving as I always thought it was low-mid 90*c+ but never really knew until I had this temp gauge connected. :) 36*c day...midday: 78-82*c That same...

Hi Guys, I have two pics here, one of them has a connector plug that is below the AFM and I have no idea where it should have gone or whether it is needed. Could someone chime in if they know what it is for? The other is a ground cable that is chopped off about 5cm from its connection and I...

Hi All, I'll try and be as to the point as possible with what i'm experiencing with my car as far as starting goes and little random blips. Bit of background I had the Starter Motor reconditioned about 6months back and it looks like a different/new unit all black. About 3months ago the car...

Hi All, Out of curiousity, how much HP can you crank out of a stock ECU with say.. LEX AFM, Fuel Cut Defender and provided all the other goodies are in place... larger injectors, and so on. Reason I ask this is as there is the guy with his 93 toyota pickup (7m) on GTEPowered.com claiming...

Hi Guys, Yesterday was driving around past a few mates places before going to a party and I noticed about halfway through that my clutchfan was not turning off with temperatures reading 4bars out of 10 (when I normally see 5 bars). It was rather windy... and later on that night when going to...

Hi All, I have stumbled into a little issue with the digital dash as it has turned off on me twice in the last week (never happened before). One was when starting the car I realised the dash wasn't on, then after driving around the block it turned on. Upon turning back on the tripometer...

Hi All, Need some input from those who know with regards to the following hose and whether it should be pushed more in or not? It could either be a point that the hose isn't meant to go past, or a groove that the hose should sit within??

Hey guys, Simply as above... curious what it's primary role is.. as I've installed temporary brass plumbing in the location of the current heater tap, but I am still able to cool and heat the interior of the car... which sounds odd as if you have it bypassed it should always be heating... What...

Hey Guys, My Heater TAP is slightly fractured where if you don't have the heater on in the car it will leak small droplets over a day. I have been monitoring it and I did do a thorough inspection and it's not the hoses that are bust but the actual plastic DENSO heater tap itself. I would like...

Anyone know what this BSPT, NPT (national pipe thread?) stuff is in mm's or even inches would help...I found this thread after a search here, then have done some googling... but =/. I read this in a thread as I want to install my temp sender and I'm lost as to what 3/8 bspt? is... 3/8 of an...

Hi Guys, I pulled out the tailshaft today as im having the centre bearing changed and balanced. While I was in the spirit of taking things out I also took out the shifter to have a look inside and I have a few pics I need some expert advice on whether there is a rubber bushing where the...

Hi Guys, I have two leak points on my aero in the top right and top left corners (in the perspective that you are in the drivers seat) and I took a look from oustide and I can see why it's coming through as theres a little 3mm diameter dip or so.. where water piles up. What can I do...

Hi Guys, Was just watching a Turbo-A clip on youtube and after reading some of the comments and I had poked around here and there about EGR Block off plates and this post got me thinking whether blocking it will help with cyl6 cooling? since recirculating the exhaust gasses = hot temps? or does...

Hi All, I recently hard wired my CPS, and that's all good whenever the car cranks it starts instantly so thats all fine and dandy. Only thing I have is just noticed today and it's probably happened to me a few times in the last year or so, you turn the key, you hear a click, but no crank... or...
