hey, I'm looking to use this box on my supra now, do you know if the tunnel accepts the box with a 20mm spacer plate on the back of the 2j engine block in a mkiv? I don't want to bash out my tunnel with a hammer as that's rough I'm more than capable to have the prop made, gearbox mount made, shifter rear mount made etc, just curious about actual box fitment in the chassis I'm planning to use the GS6-53DZ 6 speed with a stock bmw sachs clutch for daily use just now then eventually move onto the pmc kit with triple plate tilton clutch kit when I fit my gte engine

for sale only now cancel the swap for rear sticks, just bought new ones from Toyota

I have a pair for sale

Item:- front hockey sticks Price:- £75 posted Collection From:- aberdeen scotland was sold these as rear turns out they are front hockey sticks for the mkiv looking to get back £60 posted or a straight swap for rears

yeah got one thanks it's in the boot, just haven't put it back on yet as I left them off incase I'd needed bumper off to solder indicator loom (without realising it's easy enough to access with headlights out) will be attaching the bumper on with all 300 mounting points before it's on the road speaking of which, I need to do some research on fitting a fmic and retaining the active spoiler, gte plans are go haha!

subscribing to this will be cool! I think alex macrae tagged you in one of my fb posts when the painter sent me an orange paint pot and I'd uploaded a screen shot of it with my car in the background on fb. I'm impressed with this and I bet it will look awesome when done! a rep of a truly iconic car in the beginning. what gauge pod did you get?

fixed that stupid issue the odometer had with the mph converter adapter, the odometer counts in km's and the speedo reads in mph now, rather than the other way around

SORTED car's not actually been on the road yet since buying it so this has been a job on the list of things to do. I've been waiting for a sunny day to roll it out the garage and work on it don't know why but the previous keeper had mixed up the odometer illumination wire with the ground causing a signal to go against the earth wire, this caused the odometer to receive a false signal and was causing it to climb slowly when the lights were on when the car was stationary all fixed now, I cut out the old mph converter and rejoined the two wires back together matching up the blue/red strip wire to the other half and the pink wire also, going to run my own mph converter now wired in my way so I know it'll work and be done properly!

makes sense as to why they wouldn't fit the rear then need a set of rear ones now! thanks for the help!

whats the body length of them? any pics?

Box off storage shelf tonight and took some more pics of it assembled

bump please

Just need to degrease the bel housing then it'll be bolted on. Old engine had rocker cover leak so the housing had a little oil residue on it

Item:- w58 manual gearbox + clutches Condition/Mileage:- unknown, all parts were bought second hand from various people trusting their word (I'm not to be held responsible if these items have issues) Price:- £950 Postage: courier available at buyers organisation/cost, Collection From: happy to meet buyers in/around aberdeen gearbox is a w58 5 speed manual, it came from a jdm import soarer that had been converted to manual, it has a remote shifter linkage and a 2jz bel housing the gearbox I was told is good condition but I'd never personally drove with it so I can't vouch for it/be held responsible for any whines or crunches etc, it engages all gears fine however on the floor with the shifter when being tried out there are two clutches, one 6 puck performance clutch, also an exedy single plate clutch disc and pressure plate (has a small break on an edge of the clutch disc from postage but cover is good) pressure plate bolts too flywheel inc crank bolts will come with a release bearing, fork, slave cylinder, spigot bush for crankshaft front section of propshaft will also be supplied, it fits into the back of the box and you'll need to use your existing supra middle bearing onto it as the bearing on it was retained for the soarer's body shell when removing box from car w58 gearbox mount rubber bush will also be left on the gearbox Pictures: all I have at the moment, one of the box bel housing removed to clean up and reseal the front input shaft cover please don't judge by a poor advert with poor pictures, I'll get the parts down from my storage shelf over the next few evenings and photograph absolutely everything laid out on the bench for people to see the reason for sale is, I don't see the point in me fitting this box to a single turbo gte engine when in reality it'll not last very long and give me problems at that power level so I think I'm going 6 speed with the supra now

yeah i've had one up there before but wasn't too keen on it tbh, didn't feel like it made much difference the car needs to have a heater matrix as i live in scotland and our weather isn't up to much... haha

has anyone got an aftermarket coolant swirl pot on their supra? I'm considering adding one onto my build (2jz s14) because I've had trouble bleeding the previous engine before, I think a rad cap located at the highest point in the engine bay would be great, it would also allow for no more air to be trapped, deaerated I can't find any install documents 2jz specific online as they all seem to be for sr20's and so on the engine sits so far back in my car that there isn't any room for heater matrix pipework to go by, this means it has to go over the rocker covers and resulting in a higher point in the system than the rad cap, makes bleeding it fun... ideally I'd like to know where people take the 'from engine' feed from? is ok to use the pipework that comes from head for the idle control valve and throttle body the only downside is a small amount of coolant won't be going through the rad if it falls back into the lower hose?

so not getting much done lately, the weather has been pretty bad and i've been tied up with another project but at least she's inside and warm-ish in the garage more badges arrived from toyota, front on order and will be here in a few days 49 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr got some clear wing repeaters along with some amber 501 bulbs 48 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr tried the headlights back in just to see how it'll look, i'm over the moon 51 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr just need to order up the loom for the facelift indicators and get a set of them ordered online my orange indicators are not going back on the front! facelift fronts and Toyota loom 50 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr

Sounds right for me tbh. Make it as easy as I possible haha. Only rejoining two wires and snipping the back 4 off the speedo. Any recommendations for speed mph converter to buy ?

hi guys, I noticed last month or so there was a 1jz with ecu and loom for sale from a track spec supra for 500 quid anyone got anything like this on the go? I sold my 1j I had for the supra last month but I could do with making a good engine out of the two and probably doing a 1.5jz for the supra using the ge bottom end

hi guys, currently have a mph converter wired into my car, I know for a fact it's not done right, here's the deal, when you turn the lights on, the odometer trip starts counting. no matter what gear you're in, if you're parked in P with the handbrake on it still does it lights go off and it's perfect and won't climb the trip so, I don't know if this is an issue the car has had since before I bought it, the only thing I've changed is the rear lights to facelift ones (prefacelift car) I've no idea who installed the converter or what make it is, today I took the dash apart to inspect the wiring of the mph converter here's what I found: the plug behind the tell tale dash panel has had the pink wire and blue/red striped wire cut, they have been joined together on the original loom and then a wire ran into the back of the white plug (where the blue/red one goes) that wire then runs back to the rear of the clocks which by my calculations following the circuit board goes to the blue/red wire too (so he's remade the connection) the rest are joined to the back of the clocks like so: the only blessing here is that the car would have recorded more mileage than it actually has done on the road so technically it's a lower mileage supra than indicated on the dash haha I don't have a pinout for the converter unit as I'd like to check it was wired in right but my thoughts are to cut it out, rejoin the factory wires behind the odometer and start again with a whole new converter that's proven to work good on supras....any advice would be great

legend, thank you very much!

thanks lads, new Toyota badge set arrived, they're gunmetal which is cool as it goes with the lights ls400 4 pots arrived but need rebuilt so i'll get onto that also had a few other little bits going on too so i'll post updates as I go!

hi guys, just bought myself some ls400 front brake calipers for my mkiv I was told I'd need longer bolts through the hubs to hold them on? the 12x1.25 thread pitch anyway, reason I'm here, I have found that 3/4 pistons on one caliper has split torn boots and stuck pistons the other side is perfect however I need a rebuild kit, I think I can get away with reusing the pistons. is ebay the only place? ideally I'd like a rebuild kit that I won't have to redo again in a year because of cheap rubber boots etc

so, going on from here, not too much to post but the car is home 43 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr i have alot to do to it still but very little time at the moment, plus it's winter so no hurry! 42 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr rolled her out the garage to put a few more parts back on, still needs number plates, side skirts, rear trims, front bumper, headlights, blah blah blah 44 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr still need to collect the side skirts back from the bodyshop and i'm waiting for a new set of bumper fixings from toyota before i properly attach the front back on 41 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr also ordered a new set of badges inc 'supra' badge from Toyota 46 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr 47 by Jonny McIntosh, on Flickr
