My MIL lit up while driving the other day. First time it's happened since owning the car. I searched these forums to see what the procedure is. I've located the diagnostics port in the engine bay, and noticed that the brake fluid was low, just above the min mark, but then I noticed another brake fluid tank, also low. Which one do you fill? Or is it both? I've not had time while it's been light enough to do the paperclip test yet, so don't have the codes, but I need to top up the brake fluid anyway, and have read on here that that can trigger the MIL light. Thanks for any advice.

What are you using as sensors on inputs 1, 2 & 6?

I just went out and checked on my wheels and they are indeed the WORK Meister's. Any ideas on how much getting them refurbed would cost?

Does it have to be written in basic? Here's some code from my last PIC project. It decreases motor speed (PWM) when a switch is held down. void dc_bru_dec() { if(led_state==1) //Test If the power flag is True { delay_ms(10); //debounce setup_ccp2(CCP_PWM); //setup PWM setup_timer_2(T2_DIV_BY_4, 255, 1); //setup timer, Freq, reset & int while((bru_pwm_val>0) & (!input(bru_dec))) //if not Zero% & switch is held down, decrement duty cycle { set_pwm2_duty(bru_pwm_val); //Set the duty cycle printf ("\n\r\%u",bru_pwm_val); //Serial Output bru_pwm_val--; //Decrement Duty Cycle } } }

can't you just use something like: startloop speedL++ Do stuff.... endloop

I've only ever used C with PICs, and don't have that much experience. I have done motor stuff using PWM, pretty basic though really. Ramping the speed when the motor starts should be really easy. Just a loop incrementing speed on each iteration. I was going to get back into PICs in an attempt to make a digital speedo for the Supra.

Jeez. £500 a wheel is expensive. Mine are 18" but looking a bit tired and I was thinking of changing them, but if they are the "Works" one's, it would prolly be worth getting a refurb done. I do like the look of them, just looking a bit tatty that was all. I'll have a good look at them in the morning. I was told they were £2000 wheels, but didn't read much into it at the time. You know how it goes... Guys selling cars will tell you all sorts of BS. Thanks for the price info Nic.

here's a piccy of said wheel I found online.

This is my car. Only pic I got just now and it's dark out.

I'm not too sure if they are the ones mentioned or not... I'll post some pics in a jiffy.

Hi. I've had my Supra for little more than 2 weeks now, and am still looking for information on some of the parts. I think the rims on it might be: WORK MEISTER S1 3PIECE. Does anyone know how much these would cost? Thanks

This is true. The threads kinda gone off topic a bit, but it's all good. Even though the search question is unanswered, I'm finding out some of the stuff I wanted to know. Someone might even answer that search question yet.... Many thanks for all the help.

Thanks Nic, that's gonna be a huge help, being able to see it like that. At least I got an idea what I'm looking for. I'm the second UK owner. The first uk owner didn't do anything to the car. So any mods were done abroad. HKS fuel ignition timing computer Blitz boost controller Blitz FATT Turbo timer Defi Guages and link unit BOV Induction kit Exhaust That's the main mods I know of.

DeCat.... That's one more thing to check. The car was imported only just over a year ago, and I'm told it's not unusual for the cars to come over with no history. The only UK history is MOT papers. The Mods were done before the car was imported. The exhaust is not original, and might be de-catted. I'll need to know how to tell if this is the case too. So many questions......

No outward signs...... Ah bugger.... A search term with the phrase "turbo hybrid" in it, brings up what seems to be a random selection of threads. The search seems to look for either word, but not specifically both, the problem is that most threads on here have the word "turbo" in them. Where as if you could type in "turbo+hybrid" or "turbo AND hybrid", to make it require both words be present, it would return more relevent results. I dunno if the search parameters can be changed to include boolean searches, but it would make life easier.

Yes, but it had been modified before I bought it. Still trying to work out what's been altered.

Am I missing something or is the search feature here not very flexible. Boolean searches seem not to be supported, or are they? If they are I can't make it work. I was looking for any threads relating to how to tell what turbo's I have. Such as markings or shape, basically any tell tail signs of what type they are. I'm guessing I have the ceramic J-spec one's, but I might be wrong. Can't find anything about it by searching. What's the best ways to search? Any tips? Cheers.

I had a test run this afternoon. Pulled the entire dash out and put back in, in under an hour. I even fixed the cigarette lighter while I was at it. Seems the previous owner had forgotten to put the plug back on. Left the battery connected. I did scare myself with the CD eject button, but not had the horn yet.

Thanks. I'll leave the battery connected then. I have no airbag, so that one less thing to worry about, unless I crash, then I'll wish I had one. Thanks again.

I'm hoping to take my dash out this weekend and read that you should disconnect the battery to prevent the airbag light staying on. I have a 1993 RZ, which doesn't have an airbag. Should I still disconnect the battery? If so, would it affect the HKS F-Con V computer's memory, or will that be ok? Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the info JM. PM sent.

Do I need any piping changes to fit the stock airbox? If so, does your airbox come with any piping? See attached pic of my current setup. Any help much appreciated. Thanks.

I'm looking for a stock airbox for a j-spec TT. Is it still for sale??

Looks like they do. http://www.funkystyling.co.uk/universal_a.php?subID=133&subName=Apexi%20Gauges%20and%20Accessories

I used to play a bit years ago. This made me want to take it up again..... Nice guitar BTW.
