Project Restore :-D

I love the way the JDM tail lights look. Do u know where to get the covers they look sick painted to match.

[cre]

The covers were made in a few different styles by a few different company, but I don't think any of them were sold outside of the Japanese market. Naturally, there have been some imported over time and originals do pop up for sale on the Supra sites and places like eBay. There was someone who had a replica set (the one in that photo I posted is one of those replicas) produced as a part of a group buy I'm not sure who it was but it too may have been KevinM; He's on SupraMania and SupraForums and SM is where the group buy was hosted, IIRC.

Also of note, most will work with pre89 taillights, they fill the indented center piece; Takes mounting with a couple standoffs but may save you the expense of upgrading the tails. There were also some covers made for the pre89 lights, specifically. They're uncommon and I wouldn't count on finding set.


Pretty sure these are a DIY job:


These ones look good on a pre89... I think it would look best if you pulled out the yellow turn lens and tinted the reverse light a very light red.


This is a style someone suggested in that former group buy... never produced.


I have more of others but I'd probably spend the rest of my weekend looking for them, so "that's all folks!" (tm)

Got the replacement 7m today finally few things i've noticed off bad the motor mounts are completely different they look similar to the JZ brackets the harness came with grey plugs and cords cut in a lot of places so i replaced the brackets with the onces from my old 7m as well as a few other transplanted parts so far hopefully tomorrow turns out more successfully..

less than 48 hours to get this going..

How do the oil pans compare? Sounds like you may have a later model 7M

Well basically the harness had grey plugs with the green tipped injectors
Different injector connectors tails and few other slight differences with the
Sensors as far as the oil pan I found out last night that also is different
So yet another thing ill have to change before I can drop this motor in
Btw my 7M I received has two throttles in the main location that connects
To the Y pipe and a plate that says Toyota traction control or something to that
Effect slowly but surely getting closer to it being on the road thought.. I apologize
For any bad spelling it's eairly and I'm beat up lol

changed the oil pan and oil pump from the donor 7M got the engine to go smoothly into the chassis and began hooking everything up top to bottom left to right filled all my fluids etc but regardless of how much i check and re check all the wiring and ground when i went to try and light it up the car gets no power to anything what so ever... i've checked the wires try arranging the grounded wires in several different locations but every time i attach the battery to the posi terminal the fuse box makes a clicking noise im assuming thats not a bad thing so i inspect the fuses and non appear to be blown i have no way of testing the head fuse nor the main fuse but when i do this i have a check engine light which is the only thing that comes on nothing else gets power so i put the key in the ignition and try to turn it and it just dings at me ive been working on this thing endlessly so i can have 1 running car please help >_<

oh and i have 1 plug from the ecu side which is white with two a few cables cant figure out where that goes and engine side i have 2 plugs that i have no idea where those go either one is green with 4 ports inside and one is an orange color with 2 plugs inside here are some pics maybe this is part of my problem??

well...the clips you show look like a cold start injector clip (red) and a starter connection possibly (blue) :/. the two 7m motors i got had different connections, 1 from an 88 jdm supra and one from a 90 cressida.

u could try and go to sears auto center and see if they are nice enough to print you out a diagram of the ECU wiring from alldata. the full set at my house, but no computer there. if i get it back to town, i can upload them prolly.

basically u just have to trace your wires.. everyone should learn to label wires and tag and bag parts, saves alot of time. i never did for the longest time and was fine without it, until i got two projects goin at once for an extended period of time and then i really got lost.

b4 that tho, i took apart my whole 22r and rebuilt it, no manual, no parts baggies, no labeling, in about 2 weeks. no extra bolts or parts left over, except what i intentionally removed.

with my build, i have EVERYTHING in a well labeled bag and all my wires in the engine bay labeled correctly. as well as the supra and truck manuals always on my bench.

sorry went off on a rant there...neway, check you wiring, u couldve missed a starter connection or have a bad power/ground connection somewhere. make sure your batt is fully charged too.
