Nic, can you still source items like these? facelift Spats in particular?

I'm pretty sure that they are a discontinued part. 2nd hand or fibreglass replicas only Im afraid.

Blueprint are generally good. Had an issue with some on a celica. They would scrape on the handbrake backing plate. Swapped for oem items in the end As didn't fancy grinding anything But never really had any other issues on the supra or other cars.

Thanks bud for that. I appreciate your help. I have found the problem! It was the guage fuse in the drivers kick panel. A bit corroded. When i was testing with multimeter it was reading ok with getting pushed in. It looked pretty old and cheap quality compared to the others. Thanks to Chris and np89

Can't be that as the alternator works fine on another car. Was giving 14.5v

Hi, where is this regulator located? Hello again Chris. Yes, it was me who called you. All the fuses seem to check fine. Theres the 120A alternator one which is also fine. Ive tried wiggling wires around. I guess the next step would be to get the multimeter out and check each power wire.

Hi, Hopefully some one can help me sort this issue. None of the warning lights apart from door open and airbag are working. Windows.dont work and neither does the speedo cluster. Also the alternator is not charging the battery. All this has occured at the same time. Alternator is working as i have tested it on another supra and the working one off that car did not work on mine. I have checked all fuses with a multimeter and could not find a duff one. Another odd thing is the door chime is on even when key is in ignition on position/car started, when door is opened. It starts fine but dies when battery runs out of charge. Just need some advise on which wires/connectors to check. Would this have anything to do with the ignition switch?

I think they are a M8 thread. Can't remember if it is fine or standard. 90% sure it's just bog standard M8

Nice photo Manos, more photos please!

Nice photos mate. Looks great!

It's 90311-46001 under the oil pump section on Toyodiy

No, it's not that. I'll dig out the number for you.

What's happening with this lad?

Is it the one on the rear of the water pump? Had this go on mine.

Good work, I'd love to see a detailed review of exactly how it feels to drive compared to stock when it's back on the road.

You can say that again! Nice looking Supra you got there bud.

Can you put some photos up please? I'm not familiar with the car but a picture says a thousand words.

There's a big bolt that's on the left of the oil filter. The usual way is to purchase one from a Lexus that has a thread in the head that you take the feed from. Have a good search, A chap called Fosta on here did a good guide. That has the part numbers in the thread. Try Garage Whifbitz on here, in the traders section. Great kits which are tried & tested.

Do you know how to check for any fault codes Naz?

There you go mate. Repair manuals are on the main page of the forum. All the maintenance info you will ever need. If you want it to handle nice, revert back to stock 16/17's

Very nice and so clean you could probably eat off it.

I was in the exact same scenario about two months ago. The cable frayed and jammed inside the little coggy thing. Needed a new window regulator. Keron keeps new ones in stock usually. False economy getting a used one as it will just fail again soon. Is there a wall you can park up against and get out the passenger side?

I looked into doing a similar thing some time ago. I suppose it would depend on how bad your old turbos are. Once the shaft has play, the blades scrape on the housings and wear them away especially the front alloy compressor housing. So even when you replace the chra with a brand new item, there is that extra gap between the housings and blades which will reduce the turbo efficiency. By what degree I don't know.

Hi Ric, I've been watching the progress of this, It's a great build, nice work mate. Just one thing I feel I should mention, don't want to put a downer on this but just keep an eye on the seal retaining clip rings on those calipers. I had an issue with mine. I did post up a thread with photos but can't seem to locate it. The ends of the rings curl inwards slightly and cut into the new seals. I returned mine back to Bigg Red for a refund and forked out for Toyota items. It's just an issue with the band types and not the round wire type clips. If you look at yours, you might notice that the seal will be pinched at the gap between the rings. It may not be an issue at all but I don't like taking any chances with brakes.
