oooh i'm excited, looks really sweet! sounds great, drive it like that NO PIPES haha

 

Hey Moe. I want to thank you again for taking in my harness. Your GS project is amazing. I can really take some of what we talked about and apply it to my projects. I am really impressed with how much you pay attention to detail on this build. Ive seen your previous Supra projects and was impressed with those as well. Keep doing what you're doing. I'll keep checking back.

Thanks again!

Hey Mo,

Have you gotten to the fuel pump, fuel pump ecu and mods associated with them? Specifically the 12v mod? thx

howat

 

Howat...Im not touching that yet except for a walbro. The fuel pump works fine as is. The 12 volt mod is not needed in my opinion as the car rus at 9 volts at start and switches over to 12 volts automatically at WOT. why mess with something that is not broken.
From doing the 12 volt mod, sometime people remove the safety feature where the fuel pumps need to stop running in case of an impact or accident. I know and have seen some 12 volt mods where the pump is wired without any safety and is constantly running.

 

hey Roger,
it was good catching up with you guys as well. Thanks for the compliments on my car. Glad you got to see it in person. I just dropped it off at the body shop and my friend has already fixed the rear main seal leak and it should be getting prepped for paint starting Monday Can't wait to actually start driving it.

 

A few things to note :

Here is the Camry cable vs the Stock gs300 one. ( 93-96 ) camry throttle cable.

See the lenghth difference? The GS300 one is shorter.
I used the Camry cable instead of the 2jzgte one. it does the job. You will have to remove some of the sheathing to line up the bracket. I had to get the car to the body shop so I just moved the bracket forward. will fix that later.
hey, its cheaper ( $2 ) than paying for a TT one. (~$57) lol

You will need to transfer the GS300 bracket over to the camry one. See pictures.

Here is a couple of phone photos I took of the car with the body kit parts I put on.

its in the body shop now and is getting a fresh coat of 202 Black .

are you using the supra manual radiator or the automatic?

 

I am using a Supra TT manual radiator because i am running a aftermarket oil cooler for the tranny. Only one bracket will line up though. You will need to make another one Just be creative.

 

can u take pics of the brackets you made and who sells this radiator for the automatic supra.also what did u have to do with the pins on the lower end of the radiator

 

I will when I get the car back from the paint shop.

I left the bottom pins as is. One pin fits perfectly though. I used some heavy duty zip ties and tied the radiator close to the chasis and its practically invisible.

I only put one upper bracket ( stock one)
Will fabricate the second one later.

I copuld not find the automatic radiator from the place I got mine from - cxracing.
Since I was going to use separate cooler, it did not matter.

 

Some more update :
Sent the car to a body hsop for some repaint. had a friend ook me up with it and I only paid for materials mostly. Thanks to my good friend. Its not a custom/high dollar paint job, but for my daily driver, it will do just fine. I am happy with it.

Also had my friend fix the rear main seal leak as he has a lift at the paintshop. No more leaks



Sanding and dent removal:





After paint :
I had to bring it home and do the washing of the car myslef after the buffing. The bumpers need a rubdown and a new buff since the paint is too new for that. I will take care of that in a few weeks when the paint has cured well.
These are some quick shots. Will entertain with better ones in the near future!









Stealth Intercooler. Had them paint the intercooler and grill all black. !!!!

 

looking good

 

Very nice!

 

any reason for the radiator swap too? would the auto tt one be a better for the gs300?
