P.S. doh watch man garage floor to hard eh. We know it dirty.

[TROJAN - X]

ghos aint worry about the garage floor...

this project comin along real nice i must say.. keep it goin good my yout...
Re the tranny, are u tskin it apart soon to inspect the interior, wud like to see some pics of the internals, plus it wud give u a great idea on the quality of it ?

any idea how many miles there are on it ?

[TheGoodGuy]

Not a clue as to the millage. Don't intend on taking it apart. Today I did a short preliminary test. I.E... put it in each gear and spin it by the clutch (hence the reason i put the clutch on it) as fast as i could and hold the drive shaft end to feel if it span lol. This thing went into each gear smoothly and span nicely with no weird noises. Most I gonna do is put some fresh oil in it come time to mount it on the car. In short, don't trouble, trouble. Only if i am obligated, or have nightmares I might venture into that. Or if I feel super meticulous when i get the engine, which is very possible.

Looks good. The clutch kit for the 7MGTE and 1JZ GTE are Identical. Therefore it will work on a 2JZ. Grab a fidanza wheel for the 2JZ-GE and you're good to go. Keep the progress coming. Also some advice mount engine and tranny outside car garcon save urself tie

hey Lifebegins@25psi re the post I did under your project page concerning the differentials, From my Tag information under the bonnet i got a G252, providing that it was never changed locally according to this list found on supramania.com what i got is a 8" ring gear, with a ratio of 4.556 and a open differential with 2 pinions. Now not sure bout the 2pinions but 4.556 doesn't sound like what I want now does it? Anyways here is the list I found for the MK3. The bold items is what supposedly came stock on the supra's MK3.

Axle Codes:
First Digit = Ring Gear Diameter
A=138mm
B=145mm
C=6.25"
D=6.62"
E=7.1"
F=7.5" ('82-'86 A6 chassis)
G=8" ('86.5-'92 A7 chassis)
H=9"
J=9.25"
K=9.5"
L=10.5"
M=12.5"
N=13.5"
P=14"
R=162mm
S=6.38"
T=6.7"
U=6"
V=10.6"
W=15.5"
X=142mm
Y=158mm

Second and third digits = Gear Ratio

01=3.30
02=3.36
03=3.545
04=3.556
05=3.70
06=3.889
07=3.90
08=4.111
09=4.222
10=4.375
11=4.444
12=4.625
13=4.79
14=4.875
15=5.125
16=5.286
17=5.60
18=5.714
19=5.833
20=6.167
21=6.667
22=6.78
23=6.833
24=7.64
25=4.556
26=5.571
27=3.364
28=4.300 (MA70 NA)
29=4.100 (JZA70)
30=3.727 (Late '89+ MA70 Turbo)
31=3.909 ('87-'89 MA70 Turbo)
32=6.591 OR 5.583
33=7.503 OR 5.583
34=6.781 OR 4.786
35=7.636 OR 5.600
36=4.778
37=3.583
38=3.417

Fourth Digit (number of pinion gears / LSD or Open)

2=2 Pinions Open
3=2 Pinions LSD
4=4 Pinions Open
5=4 Pinions LSD

Ok sounds good. Maybe you can trace the cars origin. that could probably help go a long way to sorting it out. If you bought the car from Coulibistrie, Then I believe its the car of leslie. Now that car I believe was colihaut, and previously owned by some guy O.J but before that is was in posse belonged to ken. I think it was a 1G at first, and it got some of its parts from 140 cause i remembered he bought 140 shell. As to whether he did a complete swap then the he would have transplated the diff as well. 3.73.

The MK3 came in GA70(1G-GTE motor), MA70 (7MGTE and 7MGE), JZA70 (1JZ-GTE). So if the chassis plate goes GA70 know that it orignianlly came 1G, there for had a w58 transmission. and 4.30 gearing in the diff. That is not a favorable diff to have with the R154, you'll jump on ur opponent, but u'll be hardpressed between gear changes. Like a certain supra who wanted to cut my Chaser on batalie hill and bumped his rev limiter trying to stretch his 2nd as long as I could mine. So let me know what the chassis code says and I'll help you figure the rest.

[TheGoodGuy]

I can confirm that it had a 1G-GEU, did a little research, also can tell from the tag. With an auto trans. but here is the tag information. Can't tell you what is what exaclty bcuz i had to use finer to clear the tag and it rubbed off the descriptions..

E-GA70-BJPVF
1G-GEU
GA70-0029509

206-FG12
A340E-G252
A53

But I guess the only way to know for sure is to get under that car. I won't be going up to the garage for bout 2 weeks. So is only till then, I can find out for sure.

On the list what I meant stock on the MK3; wasn't referring to mines, was referring to the MA70's. According to that list and providing it wasn't swapped out my car diff is roughly 4.56:1 in ratio.

[SF5]

yeah then thats the one. Shouldn't be had to get a diff, it had a white supra turbo coulibistrie, it had lsd, then there was the diff off of 140 so whoever has that shell has the diff.

[TheGoodGuy]

But its not only LSD, because according to what i researched this afternoon there, alot of varying ratio diff's had LSD. Actually it was optional at the dealers whether your car was Turbo charged or not. From what I understood. So if i am to source a diff, I will also have to check the ratio's in addition to LSD.

[SF5]

exactly, so you're going to need 3.73:1 locking diff as for varying ratio diff I am confused. That I haven't seen but Like I always say I don't know everything.
