RobSheffield Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Not very, depends if you can solder and if you buy a fields harness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekymonkey Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 just sell it to me if you can't fit it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 It's not rocket science. Providing you have a basic electrical knowledge and know how to solder, you'll be OK. You may need to test some of the cables to ensure you have the right connections for the injectors and ABS wires. Soldering the ABS wires is the most awkward part.

If you're buying it new, you order one for a Supra. If you looking at second hand, make sure it has the capability for 6 cylinders. They come with instructions for fitting to pre-facelift JDM TT's and a UK TT. There are a fair few different ABS ECU's and a few have different connection locations, hance you may need to check what you're connecting to. There's a reasonable amout of info on here though.

Sheefa Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I would recommend a Fields Harness too mate. I had all sorts of issues with mine when it was hardwired in by CW, not his fault, but past bad connections (old scotch blocks!) on the ECU undertaken 'cleverly' by the previous owner. Rich (TrickTT) nearly had a heart attack when he saw them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bromy Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Ask yourself do you REALLY need it, try without any trac control first. I have driving my single without any for a couple of years now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Ask yourself do you REALLY need it, try without any trac control first. I have driving my single without any for a couple of years now But he might WANT it. I don't think I NEED it, but I like it. It's an added safety net, that when used correctly, can make the car more fun to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 if you can read and solder its easy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 Ask yourself do you REALLY need it, try without any trac control first. I have driving my single without any for a couple of years now i dont really need it. its just i dont use the supra that much so i can't get to know the car aswell as others might. i tried over taking someone today and the wheels span up right next to them. it's mainly in the wet that i'd want it. i guess i might wait and see how i get along until next winter when i might also up the boost. but if you guys say it is an achievable diy job then i shall give it a go!

It's an added safety net, that when used correctly, can make the car more fun to use That's spot on. I mean it's like saying do you need 500bhp, do you need fat back tyres, do you need turbos... well you don't need them but we all want them as for doing it, with the right diagrams to hand and basic tools, you could do your first one in about 4 hours I'd say - mine took a little longer as I got the abs diagram mixed up with an export spec for a while - doh! It's a little fiddly/awkward in places but fairly straightforward overall. Fields harness - get one, I'd not do it any other way personally or you are hacking in the car wiring loom and the thing is not so easily removable (you want to sell it or move it to another car) and it makes the job much easier as you can sort the wiring out in doors in comfort!
