Guest C7Ewan Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hello I new to the forum and new to Supra ownership. They have been a dream car of mine since i first sat in one when i was young I got my first one at the weekend there She is 93 N/A Manual HSD coilovers 17" Rota wheels Future Plans = Drifting Turbo SKIDS.... But first she has a few problems to deal with Slight oil leak which looks to be coming from the oil pressure sensor?? Master Warning Light is on. Hand brake light doesn't go out She has no seats fitted and no mot Any help or advice would be great thank you Ewan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike2JZ Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Check you haven't got a leaky rocker cover (common thing on na's). If the oil is dripping down the head, then could be building up near the oil pressure sensor. Also check your front cam seals for the same reason. If neither are leaking then take the pressure sensor out and reseal it properly, think iirc it takes a 24/27mm long socket to fit over the sensor. If your master warning light is on, first bridge the TE1 & E1 ports on diagnostic port, and look to see if you are throwing any error codes (guides for what the codes mean can be found in technical section) Normally when hand brake warning light is on, the master warning light is on. If your handbrake light dosen't go off, then that would be a cause for why your master light isnt going off. Remove the panel surrounding the gearknob and locate the white plug near the handbrake, and disconnect it to see if this makes a difference. As to why the handbrake light isn't going off, I'm not sure but maybe you will find some clues when you find the plug for it. Oh and welcome, throw some pictures up off the car. Have you got an LSD, or you planning on welding the diff to get your NA to drift? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest C7Ewan Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Cheers guys. thanks for the welcome. Ye I read the post on engine codes and bridged the ports but got a steady flashing which means no stored codes yes? yes the plan is to use her for drifting as I am.currently using my lexus is200. she has a lsd diff but u have a spare openopen diff I will be welding and fitting. the plan is also to turbo her before the end of the year.

Mike2JZ Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Steady flash is fine means no code. Try the handbrake thing I mentioned above, should be the reason for the warning light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Sounds like you need to top up the brake fluid. Welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
