  1. What did you do to your Supra today?

    Boring maintenance stuff I had been putting off for a while... - Put some air in the tyres, the cold has suddenly come so they were .1 bar too low. - Refilled washer fluid. - Cleaned exhaust tips. - Checked coolant level. - Quick wipe down of engine bay with a damp cloth. - Put her on the CTEK...

  2. Smoking from exhaust :(

    Sound advice. I had a similar issue with an Evo X but had been regularly sampling my engine oil. Fluid levels looked fine but there was some low floating exhaust smoke on warmup. Turns out I had small amounts of sodium and potassium beginning to appear in my oil samples. Small leak but I...

  3. New owner… smoke and oil smell

    No cel, and I just ran the codes, nothing at all. I’ve only been able to put about 50 miles on it. It definitely smokes all the time, but I’m thinking it’s coolant now that I’m kind of out of my panic state haha. The coolant level is low in the big tank. There doesn’t seem to be any mixing in...

  4. Race Tracking Your Supra - Information exchange

    There's more to it than that. I.E. in my last track car I used Evan's waterless coolant. While the operating temperature was technically higher, that was okay because, with no water in the system, You don't get the pressures, expansion, and air / vapor pockets, or hot spots that You get with...

  5. 5w40 motor oil

    Another thing I have seen @edyvw and others say is that climate does not matter when selecting grade oil. I have mixed feelings about this because devil is in the details. What I think they mean is that unless your cold start temp is super low, where the oil will not flow, the oil is excessively...

  6. Side Radiators blocked

    last week i noticed a "coolant low - refill" warning ... naturally i topped up then set about finding the reason.... and again "its a typical BMW issue" the rubber on the cap had pinched so venting over a period of time .... a bit of silicone and a cleanup fixed it. but .. i also checked the...

  7. Coolant Question

    It will always tell you on the bottle. At least you were smart enough to think about it ;)

  8. Coolant Question

    I got a low coolant notification today and checked the levels so I bought the HT-12 coolant online just waiting to come in. question is do I just mix 50/50 with diluted water and top off or do I need e the system ?

  9. Mimosa's Street Build

    Moving the history of my first build here to clean up the original post for my next project:

  10. Top off engine coolant Indicator

    quick update. Thank you guys for chiming in. Looks like in my case it was just low. Took about a quarter of coolant and no issues since. Odd that it used up that much.

  11. Top off engine coolant Indicator

    yea I had the warning and it was pretty low. no leaks anywhere. I topped it off twice and kept checking for a few days and it seemed to have leveled off and stayed full. check levels often and keep some coolant nearby.

  12. Top off engine coolant Indicator

    Thanks for the fast response. Was really sad and nervous about it. ill take a look at the levels later tonight. Hope it is just a little low and no further issues. ::fingers crossed::

  13. Top off engine coolant Indicator

    It happened to me a while back. I checked the coolant anyways and surely enough it was a little low so I topped it off. Haven’t had the issue since and I check the levels every now and then. Double check your coolant cap and that it isn’t allowing the coolant to evaporate out

  14. Top off engine coolant Indicator

    Hello everyone, Has anyone here had the top off engine coolant message pop up on their MMI upon start, and upon restart disappear? I have no had the chance to check if coolant is low yet, but upon the restart and the message going away I drove the car home and had no issues and no indicator...

  15. Swapping between dme's

    Check your coolant level it may be low on coolant since these cars rely on coolant to help cool down the refrigerant.

  16. Warming up Supra

    Helloooooo threadsurrection lol. Stated in manual or not, because of environmental regulations or not; it's not good to idle this engine due to the lack of vacuum, it's essentially overloading the PCV system for no reason. I used to warm up given our gnarly winters with temps as low as -43. But...

  17. Mkv supra White/grey smoke

    Hello before 3 days i had a long ride in my supra after that i stopped for few mins to grab some cofee and turned on sports mode, as soon i turned sports mode my exhaust started smoking white/grey clouds for around 30 sec and after turning sports mode off it went away, i checked oil level it...

  18. JB4 issues

    After a thorough investigations of all the sensors and a bunch of other stuff. It turns out it was just the intake clamps that were loose. I pretty much checked every mod I did on the car. I thought I had a downpipe leak, but the turbo gets louder on map 2 and a bit less burbles also shifting...

  19. Coolant issue

    Sorry this happened to you! Hopefully not a head gasket ? I haven’t had this with the Supra but…. Many other cars I’ve owned have spewed coolant due to a faulty cap. I’ve replaced the cap myself and other times took the car to the dealer & ended up with them replacing the whole damn reservoir...

  20. Coolant issue

    ...but not as much as the first time. Hasn't happened since then. I checked my coolant and this is what I saw. A little while back, I had a low coolant warning, topped it off and it went away and hasn't came back since. Coolant resovior is low and the overflow resovior is at at the max level...
