looks good.. try to get the piping welded in some places.. too many couplers isnt good.. higher probability/possibility for leaks..

The screw drivers threw me off.. but I dig it..

Enjoy it!

i used the 330ohm method. if that doesnt work you could try this. he seems to know what hes doing.

i dug around and found your thread. seems like youve got a lot of options to try from everybody but has anyone suggested swapping it out? could be a bad sensor.

did u ground the body plug too? or only used the 330ohm resistor? not sure if i should do both or just the resistor and leave the ground ungrounded.

Is the idea behind the screwdrivers something related to "drive it like you stole it"?

as far as gettin a new one look on dreiftmotion. they have parts for days and could prolly source one up if they dont have it.

as far as the screwdrivers my key broke and lexus wanted a pretty penny for the new plastic housing so instead i bought a 1.59 screwdriver gutted it and sank my key into it. (no pun intended) the shifter was a random project i wanted to try. i like the height it gives me. lets me be lazy at the track lol.

thanks for the comments fellas

oh random pic from a drift day down here

I understand you are in the Marines? The interior arm rest and the console cover is a nice tribute to the SC, but since we hardly ever see those colors anymore in any branch of the service, I would say go to the ABU's or something.. Love the swap..

I miss this car so much. I have a 1996 Toyota Mark II Tourer V with a 1JZ here in Japan, but I still miss this car. I'm glad it went to someone who appreciates it. Keep going!
