for sale new polished stainless steel fuse cover £20 delivered
Iky replied to speedophile's topic in Parts for Sale
Have you any photos of this carbon dipping bud, i'm curious -
This guy on ebay sells them I got some spares from him. Fantastic bloke to deal with, very professional. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150275862488#ht_3315wt_1140 For the rear of the pump housing you need a 1" one

If anyones interested i still have photos of my old plug. It was wierd and bumpy on the inner side. It looked nothing like rust but like its got some sort of grey stonechip on the back of it with a really tiny spot of rust where the pin hole was. (1.5mm)

for sale A couple of new supras dismantling for spares...
Iky replied to keron's topic in Parts for Sale
No worries dude, thanks anyway -
Red coolant has been used in mine but im unsure if it is the Toyota stuff. It wasn't even really that dirty. (still more red-ish than brown)
-
Yes, I used new ones but ive actually already put a thin smear on because the pipes had a bit of roughness inside where the rings seal. No worries dude, only cost a quid or so. Probably would have cost you more on P&P anyway

Update - Got a plug from a local engine builders cost £1.50 It was a 1" and seemed to be a nice & tight fit. I put a thin smear of intant gasket around it and tapped it in with a socket behind it. I just need to get it all back together now. One question, Should i put gasket sealant around the o-rings ?

Hi Keron, Do you have a cover/lid for a stock tt airbox? Preferably one without broken hinges and scratches please. Cheers, Iky. -
Ah, I got ya.
-
Have you checked the front subframe bolts. They seem to be a common issue coming loose causing dodgy handling. Which reminds me, I still need to check mine as it does something similar. There's a thread about it somewhere.
-
Cheers bud
-
Cheers, hopefully i can get it all back together and drive the thing. Thanks for that Johnny, that will help others.
-
Ive just had a chance to check on ebay and it seems they are pretty cheap. Does it matter if i get a metric 25mm or an imperial 1" ?
-
Yes! do you have one?
-
How did you make your own plug may i ask? I may have to do this if i can't get hold of one.

Update, the leak turned out to be a dodgy core plug at the rear of the thermostat housing. Thanks to Terminators advice i have an Audi bleed valve to go on so i can easily bleed the system. It seems very well made part and it's just what the Supra needs to help the bleeding problems a lot of guys seem to have. (with their Supra btw)
-
O.K, an update- I have found that the leak is due to a tiny hole in the core plug at back of the thermostat housing. Its unbelievable that so much water came out of a little tiny hole but i suppose it was under pressure when the engines running. I noticed other guys say its 20mm so i guess N/A's have a different housing as mine is 25mm. Hopefully i can get one soon and get it all built back together again and drive it. (if i can remember where all the nuts and bolts go!) I managed to make my own tools to remove the crank pulley- I'm quite proud of myself.

Hi, i don't think many people know about this part of the forum. Im from Leeds/Bradford area.
-
Thanks Morpheus, Im not really looking to offer a service as such as i simply don't have the spare time, I was gonna get a body shop to do the painting for both pairs. I just needed a spare set to use on mine untill i get them sorted. Saying that, my cars not gonna be going anywhere for a while with a fooked water pump.
-
Hi Rob, Ive already sorted something out with Morpheus. If anything changes I'll let you know. Im not sure what code the oem colour is but it seems very similar to my cars body colour.

Quinton Hazell Waterpumps, are they any good? this is the only one that seems to come with the rear part of the thermostat housing and it seems to be for a good price from Rock Auto. I assume that the USDM Supra engine is the same as the UKDM and JDM one, if someone can please confirm. QUINTON HAZELL Part # QCP3428 http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=1324706

So it looks like it's a belt off jobby, thats exactly what i was afraid of. Ah well, at least when its done its done for the next 60k.
-
Hi mate, do you mean the core plug in the block? because i noticed one nearby and it seemed to be fine-dry with no wetness. From a search, i see that there is one on the actual water pump somwhere that is a common problem, where exactly is this? If somebody has photos that would be great.
-
OK. Shit news, its not the thermostat housing, its something behind it. The bit at the back, does this come with a new waterpump or is it a separate item? Anyone else heard of leaks occuring in this location?
-
What an arse of a job, I haven't attempted it yet but from crawling around on my back it looks like the alternators gotta come off. I got coolant in my eyes
