Probably easier to get the chaser and leave it as it is, and go for the big power set up from the 2J in the A70, purely because if you have the capabilities to make bigger power from the 2J and it's just chilling in the Chaser, you'll be more inclined to go with that and end up with a 400kw family car and a stock 1J in a track car that will just get left lying in the shed unloved haha.

[Stika]

the supra will never get unloved :)

lol


mind you was driving the other night and noticed - that more lights have gone out on the dash...

i now cant see fuel guage and also and speed below 60kms ........

so in holidays might have to pull the dash out - LJZ want a cash job - to fix with new lights ?? maybe in the blue colour ?

[Gordo]

:) its a very good idea. im about to get a spare digi dash to give him to play with :) his electronic work is top notch

[Stika]

came home from a the hills yesterday with a thudding noise from the back end -

when i turn a corner the thud stops then once back ina straight line it thuds as you speed up and slow down...

is this the sign of the diff finally giving way - and therefore i shoudlnt drive it much incase it goes....

( i had a vb commo once - and the diff blew as i driving 40kms - and locked up in the middle of the road )

[Stika]

so its a left hand side rear wheel bearing which has gone - making all the noise -

will be changed on thursday :friends:

Massive sigh of relief I bet :whistling:

oh yep sure is ...... :cheers:

thinking about getting cruise control put in - before i go on holidays ( as those pesky speed cameras hidding in the bushes on a long drive ready to snap my picture )

any reccomendations on where to go ???

( i got a blue steering wheel with the cruise control buttons ready )

[Gordo]

i only just found out mine had it standard. didnt realize that they called it speed actuator from standard on the unit itself in the engine bay. lol felt kinda stupid. anyway bought a 89+ cruise steering wheel. looks great and the thumb controls. plugged it in and works a treat. lol. any who after all my story. i only found out because someone had an add on ebay for a complete factory plug and play setup. so it may still be up. not 100% sure. if you want after market try mobiletek.

we use them at work and they are a great mob for accessories

[Stika]

got quoted anywhere from $600 - $800 all installed for cruise control......

hmmmmm for that ammount i reckon ill just keep to " stika control system "

and keep the $$$....

back bearing replaced - power steering belt tightened - also the check strap on door has been changed ( thanks Harley it finally got in there )

[Stika]

brake lights stoped working - not fuse or globes - so ill have to check the button at top.......

also the handbrake light now stays on .......

and the other day the automatic window upper thing - starts to stick - and keeps on pushing up etc.....

joys of a 1987 car :)

May be the electrolytic caps in the ECU leaking becuase they are old. Pull the ECU out and pull it apart, have a look under all the caps for any corrosion or burning.

[Stika]

got the car booked in for saturday to change the brake pedal switch.....

why the car is there - ill pull out ecu and have a looksey... :)

[Stika]

looks like its not the switch thats not working - more so that the wire has been broken, burn out some where along the line....

so its getting looked at today -

should hopefully be all ready for the cruise coming up

( might even chuck the semi slicks on for one day ) :)

[Stika]

looks like it was the modual square thingo next to where the lights are in the rear end of car -it had packed up....

auto electrician - simply bypassed it and its ready to be picked up .....

Only just saw this.
I grabbed a spare dash from Gordo the other day im gonna have a play with. I will let you know when I work out a solution

[Gordo]

do you mean the box next to the right tail light just to the left hand bottom side of it. if so its a tail light checker. they always get killed by water from leaking tail lights or boot seals. im on my four but its gunna last now the light is sealed :) they check to tell weather the lights blown and everyone i had the ciruits where destroyed. if this is the case i think harley may have a spare.

[Stika]

yeah ive been slack and waiting to put my 89 back lights in and re - seal them up properly .....


just an old pic for all to look at

[Gordo]

well if you are after 89+ tail lights go on ebay as soon as. there is a full set with center as well for like 149 or something

[Stika]

Yeah Gordo - i have a set sitting at home in the shed...... think i paid 100 for em ......

i got a few things i need to do to supra ( back speakers ) different steering wheel - back lights

[Gordo]
