no, MA70 & MA71 chassis are both widebody. Only the GA70 was narrow - it wasn't available in North America.

does that mean tobys is a MA71 body code?

i know mines MA70..

my VIN says MA71, the badge under the hood says MA70....?

i think my VIN is MA71, too. hmm...

JT2MA71**********

yup it is

someone want to explain to me why, on my autometer temp sensor, if i put the wire up against the sensor with one nut, the gauge is completely fucking useless, but if i use two nuts and put the wire in between those two nuts, the gauge works perfectly????? :confused:

Would YOU want to work with only one nut?! :D

Anyway, with the whole VIN number thing - turbos start with JT2MA71 and NA's start with JT2MA70. I'm pretty sure the chassis code is MA70 through all the years. I wonder what chassis code the non-japanese RHD bodies have (JZA70,MA70, or MA71)?

I'm pretty sure the GA70 body had the 1G-GTTE motor.

BHG Update:

I went and talked to the shop that's fixing my BHG today. They showed me the old gasket, it was completely fucked at #1 and #6. The composite material was thrashed but the steel ring around the cylinders was still in good shape and the copper ring around the water jackets was a little chewed up.

They said that what they think caused the BHG is that my coolant went acidic (from being old ~2yrs) and it turned the aluminum head+iron block+conductive coolant into a "battery" that ate away the composite gasket material. Also my head bolts were all at around 54-58 ft-lbs.

Anyway, I should be back on the road tomorrow! w00t!!

sounds cool dave, bet you cant wait to take it for a cruise!

welli did alot of stuff today on my car i will post pics in bit on every thing i have done so far

Is JZA70 available in Canada? or just MA70...
do we have 3.0L JZA70 or MA70 Supra...you know, they had a grade called 3.0GT in Japan so.....

MA70/MA71 were the chassis with the 3.0L 7M-GTE (GE for nonturbo).

the JZA70 was the same basic chassis with a 2.5L Twin Turbo 1JZ-GTE

the 1JZ was the precursor to the JZA80 (MKIV supra) 2JZ.

the 1JZ is becoming a popular choice among supra owners, its 8000 rpm redline and quick response make it a good engine for the heavy MKIII frame.

Dave: good to hear its almost fixed, how much is it setting you back? head getting machined?

now i gona polish my alt today well maybe and then i goina take some stuf out that i don't need and stuff

shitty i knwo how it feels to loose some one you go through stages and crap and hopefull you don't do any thign dumb during the stages

they're ready for me to pick it up in a couple of minutes. Here's my costs so far:

$375 - Toyota head rebuild kit (gasket set)
$13 - Thermostat
$90 - Machining head and replacing exhaust manifold bolt
$35 - oil and filter change @ the shop
$400 - labour (no tax, under the table)

$913

I'll have to do another oil change in a week or so to get all the contaminants out, but I'll do this one myself rather than paying $35.

90 bux for machining?!!?

yuvk i got mine chnaged for 400 bucke

And I don't have a clue what kind of rims those are but that's a pretty clean MKII

apparently my head was in really good shape aside from the missing bolt. They just scraped the gunk off, cleaned it, and lapped it. Did u guys get it ported or something while it was out?

well the 7m heads is pretty free flowing all ready but it whould help but not that much

as in blance out the cost pf it and you decide it not goig to give you much but it will give some just not that much

they look like an old school bbs rim as in witch one i don't know


you should drop a 7mgte in your mrk 2 that whould be so sweet

well all the ac crap is gone out of my ca ri too teh lower pully out and the braket last night and riped ot the alt as well not i gona make it shinny as well


one of my friend said i shoudl paint it blue the andice clour ps any one know a good power cost shop may wan to get my vavle cover's done the white paint will stand up to oil better that way
