[NashMan]

[Enraged]

i didnt do my front brakes.... i havent had a problem since that time at the track

[NashMan]

but didn't you bleed em when you did your front brakes or did some oen els do ti for you


as long as you peld doe not have alot of play in ti and goes close to the flow then you will not have prob aka mussy brakes

[Enraged]

i didnt need to bleed them, i never disconnected the calipers. i replaced the pads and rotors, thats all.

i may have a contact in Japan for parts. my freind Roberto (he is the one making the DPs) just picked up a 2JZ complete engine (no ECU no tranny no IC, but everything else including turbos i think) for US$750! and his freind in Japan is getting him an ECU for US$150, and he said that his buddy can get almost anything for cars for a decent price. i just emailed him to see if he can get soem JIC or Tein coilovers...

[Paradox]

woohaww, i got a real jack today... jacking up my car in a matter of seconds sure is nicer than using that stock emergency POS that leaves blisters on your hands and takes like 10 freakin' minutes for one section.

and figured whats wrong with my damn exhaust.... the downpipe had like basically seperated at the turbo elbow. all the bolts were coming out and have been for awhile, ummm... im guessing that'd kill some of my power and exhaust flow. not to mention the annoying *bang bang bang* of the DP bashing against the elbow at idle.

[NashMan]

humm i never had prob whiht thous befor i nebver real herd of em comeing loose much the ne that come loose alot are the braket liek mine


i got ot got midas so they can cut it off and reloted it so i can bolt eh other bolt in

[Enraged]

cool, good thing its back together.

just takin a break from fiberglassing, god that shit stinks.... im doing a second layer around were the spare tire well meets the wood baffle, so im hoping it will pop out once it has a stronger connection.... if not... im not sure. i need a compressor so i can use compressed air to popo it out i think.

[NashMan]

man do i love my car it stop on dime now hehe i love it to hell next is the clutch and wirein when ever i find it

ps toby if yuo wan to bleed your brake go tot lordco and get one man bleeder and bleed it for like 3 min 4 time around each calper and then in one week do ti again to get the rest of the air out good luck


oh and one man bleeder is easy to use just read the back of it and it will make my life easyer then typeing ti and makeing bunch of speeling mistake's


oh hell i tel yae

just loseing the bleed blot on calper and stick onteh tube adn pump brakes for like 10 to 15 time tells gets air out

then tight nut and take off tube go tot next calper

[Paradox]

hows this for sweet? i just put my car away for the night, and the idle was PERFECT! well not perfect, but id say 95%, which is amazing for the lex AFM/550cc injectors...

the downpipe was the cause of most my problems, i figure. im due for a oil change, might do that tommorow. and new Aurora spark plug wires going in maybe tommorow or next day aswell, depends when i can get them. btw they are the exact same specs as magnecores, and made in canada to boot

damn, my car might just be reliable with all these bolt-ons afterall. who'da thought?

.... soon to be 100%.....?

[NashMan]

well i had manacore plug wires befor and they fellaprt on me but that was on my na


so far i like the ngk's more the boots kinda seat better then the manacore i find

i may have had bad set but i will never buy em again they pissed me off to much for what i paid for em

as far as performace plug wires go we don't need em for our cars in any way so it all come down to how they are made and how long they will last

caues most peopel will up grade there wire when they upgrade ingtion system to handle the new current ad such


most of all this high tec sheilding is over kill or we just don't need it yet


any ways i got to drive to naniomo to pic up some parts fo my car aka south iland imports any one want to come whiht me

[Enraged]

what are you getting?

feel free to buy me some 89-92 tails and 3 peice spoiler if they have them.

[Scottietang]

Today I went to Toypta do the safety inspection check for my 86.5 N/A Supra. When they took out the spark plug wire, there was oil everywhere. It was totally drenched. There was alot of oil under the cover.

They didnt tell me what's the probelm and what's nroken just said it cost over 1000 to get it repair. And they recommand me just leave it and dirve this until it die......what the fuxk....
They said it doesn't worth to put money on this car.....they haven't finish the inspection check and give me back the car...
I was totally unsatisfy their service

Do u guys know any best place to to the engine check?
I believe is the valve cover gasket broken but there maybe other parts leaks the oil too.....

Can anyone help?
thanks

[Enraged]

90% chance its just the valve cover gaskets. replace them yourself!

get a cheap metric socket set (i bought mine at Lordco for $8), a Toyota Service Repair Manual (the official one, or if your on a tight budget, get the Haynes). now an NA is a bit different, i beleive you have to remove the throttle body.

and $1000 to fix? i would have told them to go fuck themselves. even Midas could do it if you dont want to, probably take 4 hours or so. do it yourself, LEARN BY DOING. if you want actual handson help, one of us could help you do it, as long as you provide refreshment

[Scottietang]

When i driving today, there were lots of white smoke out of my muffler.....
I believe they took my spark plug out without suck the crap oil first so the crap oil get into the cylinder.....fuxk
what should I do now?
But there was no smoke in this morning and start somke tonight

[Enraged]

white smoke is usually antifreeze. you could have a dread blown head gasket.

DO NOT DRIVE it at all. call toyota and talk to the service manager. tell him the complete situation, and dont take any crap. the Toyota mechanic removed yoru spark plug, letting oil and god knows what into the cylinder. he should have removed the oil first. becuase he didnt, it is TOYOTAS responsibility.

if you have trouble with them (they treat you liek crap, they dont beleive you, etc) get yoru parents to talk to them (im assuming your young?)... keep us updated.

[Scottietang]

But is hard to belive that, cause they are professinoal, they should know cant remove the spark plug with the oil on top............
Is anyone know if the oil get into the cylinder, how long it take to start the white smoking?

[NashMan]

this i what i think akak whihte smoke is not caues by pulling plug ever in less he put in anty freez caues when it burn it goes white if it was water there whould not be any you can see for tail pipe but alot of steam and sweet smell and it whould idale very bady then ti whould go away

aka you blown head gastket answer said and done

you must have had leaking gasket and never knew it tell now


the only thing you can get toyota for if they loosend you head and such or tighten the bolts down but they will ask frist befor doing

all so if they pulled you plug and there was alot of oil that is the cover seals going now if he pulled the plug and oil got int here that not going to do nothing but push bule for 3 or strokes and such


if you have prob just ppm me and i can set u stright i have bean around the supra for very long time and still love em to this day and i all so had na motor befor



so give me om and i cna help you otut he best i can hell i can lok it over for you and tell you whats wroung

[Paradox]

ok. scottietang. this is simple. your valve gaskets are screwed. thus buy new ones from any local parts shop (lordo, or napa, etc) shouldnt cost more than 40 bux. use tampons or cotton balls, or towels or whatever the hell you want to soak up all that excess oil.

remove the intake piping, coil pack, throttle cables..... you're game.

stuff the tampons in there, soak that shit up, unscrew the the valve covers, remove old gaskets, whipe up excess, then put in the new ones.

this is NOT a 1000 dollar job as toyota may have said, DO NOT TRUST TOYOTA DEALERS WITH YOUR CAR. (as you said on supraforums, this is NOT a joke, this is reality -- toyota will fuck you over. find a respectable mechanic and go to him)

if you cant do this yourself, take it to any local mechanic and ask for pricing, as for 4 hours work as enraged mentioned, im not sure, this could be done in 2-3 hours easy. but a mechanic may charge more just because they dont know much about the 7M engine.


g'luck. hope you keep the car running mint.

[Scottietang]

Thanks everyone's suggestion
I drove for half an hour tonight and now there is no more white smoke........
maybe the anti freeze cause the white smoke since I did fill up the coolant today......
anyway I will get the gasket change and see what happen......

Once again, thanks everyone's common......

[Paradox]

no prob man.

if you arent sure of a mechanic and he seems to be asking too much to do the work, take it to another. that seriously isnt too bad of a job to fix. ive taken all that crap off before just for fun, err to see if i could. if you cant manage it yourself, try and find a cheap, reliable mechanic. i know a guy, but i cant tell you where he works til tommorow. i'll even mention your car if you wait.

[rental_metard]

hey i gots a ? for ya supra peeps. i have no heat/ air conditoining, anymore, i used to, but now i dont. and my mechican man said it was the blah blah thing and it pointed it out to me, a silver cyclinder object back far mid left of the engine, basically asgaisnt the firewall. anyone knwo what this is, and how i can get heat back. if anyone does it for me i'll give em 20$ plus part.

[NashMan]

i can most likly find out whta your prob is but cyc thing doe snot help much there lots of stuff under the hood and i don't carge money if i charge some thing its beer and that if i tkae along time to do it
