Default Aristo Swapped 99 GS300 ...questions

I have a 99 gs300 with a non-vvti stock Aristo swap that i bought a couple of weeks ago and i have some questions.

First the A/C doesn't work and would like to know if there are any threads covering how to get this working?

Also my stock water temp gauge isn't working....any ideas?

Also my gas light supposedly is flashing so the previous owner removed...not that big of a deal but would like to get it that to work as well.

Thanks for any help in advance!

Could anyone point me in the right direction as to where i can find the wire that goes to the temp gauge from the body plugs in the ecu compartment?

This is what im looking at now....


Would be nice to know what the colour of the wire is or what pin it is....

there a few people in here that done that swap, but depend on the power goal, you should of got the VVTI Gte and it would be less headache ..... but since you got this far... compare wire of the non vvti and vvti.... using a wire diagram... its going to take some time... and stress....... find out if your gte is from a supra or aristo... sometime color ... it can be different too... so... with some research... you will figure it out... but it be nice if someone here will pin point you.... good luck

Is it possible to wire up the AC Compressor on a manual switch with a relay perhaps? That way i can have it come up when the climate control is on and "cold" ?

On the contrary i believe that VVTI is more of a headache than anything. Ever Heard of the acronym K.I.S.S?

As far as identification color is not always an identifier. Is the engine oil pan a rear sump, or a front sump?
