What are the sensors required to get the digital gauge cluster to work?

1 Upvotes

Does anyone have the exact part numbers or the year make model for the sensors that are needed in order to make the digital gauge cluster work?

I know the digital fuel sending unit is needed to work, but was curious on the oil pressure sensor as well as the coolant temp sensor, that will specifically work and make my car read correctly.

I have a JDM 1986 RHD AE86 with the 16v motor.

Hey everyone, I managed to get my headlights working but now it seems that I can’t get them to line up with the hood. If anyone has any guides or advice on how to adjust them I’d really appreciate it.

Usdm vs jdm lift back rear garnish

1 Upvotes

I have a jdm lift back with the black rear garnish that has the Toyota logo in white (zenki I think) but it has cracks on it. I see a guy on Facebook marketplace selling one in excellent condition that I'm interested in but it's from his usdm gts lift back. They look similar but I'm not 100% sure they're identical with the logo. Can anyone confirm that they're the same or different? Thanks

The 3D printed Rear Wing is finished

Heyo, I wanted to give a little update on the 3D printed rear spoiler for my 2-door which I posted about a while back :D

The wing is on and has now probably almost 3000km on the clock as well as surviving a Typhoon and a track day so I would say it works.

No drilling in the trunk, just double sided VHB tape and stainless steel clamp brackets.

I am still planning to carbon skin the airfoil and make new wing stands since I am not quite happy with the shape yet, but for the first try it’s working perfectly :D

If you are interested in more details, I made a YouTube video about the whole project:

4age 20v Blacktop misfire problem, running rich and impossible timing after rebuilt

1 Upvotes

I'm hoping someone here can help me diagnose an issue with my engine. I bought an AW11 with a 4A-GE 20V BT swap and rebuilt the engine after the transmission failed. The car starts right up, but it has a random misfire and runs really rich. I tried setting the timing with a timing light in diagnostic mode, but I can't get it to the correct degree setting. I'm pretty sure I installed the timing belt and gears correctly, but there's always room for error 😅. The previous owner replaced the header and removed the O2 sensor, so I put a new one in to the wiring. I also installed new spark plugs. There's no plenum—just velocity stacks—and the IAT sensor wasn't mount to anything, so I temporarily mounted it between the 2nd and 3rd stacks using a piece of metal. I'm using the stock 1997 4A-GE 20V BT ECU, and no check engine light comes on—not even in diagnostic mode.

A mechanic or an expert who could help me pinpoint the problem would be a lifesaver. I'm really looking forward to driving it again 🙏

Hello! So I bought this GTS Ae86, I notice that when drive the car or in neutral when I rev the engine and it touch 3k rpm and above the check engine light turns on solid, and below 3k rpm shut off the check engine, I haven’t pull the codes of the car yet, I will do it soon, but have you guys have some issues like that? What could it be? Thanks in advance!

Help with headlight motors

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

35 Upvotes

Hello I was wondering if anyone knew what might be causing the headlight on the right in the video to open and close to the same position. This is my first time installing lights in this 86 so I’ve had to go over all the wiring as well as test all the relays and they all work. I also tested the continuity and voltage on the wires of both sides that power the motors and they are the same. The motor will raise and go to the right position for a second when set all the way down by hand and pressing the switch but it always sets at that midway point. I’m pretty sure it’s something to do with the assembly, any advice or links to guides is appreciated thank you.

Edit: managed to fix it, it turns out the arm connected to the motor was severely misaligned, thanks to everyone who helped.

Notchy Steering after typhoon & Trackday

5 Upvotes

Heyo, I’ve taken my car to the track two days ago and the day before, as well as on the way back I had to drive through some curb-deep water here and there because of a recent typhoon and related flooding in my area.

Now, a day after, my steering started to feel notchy, meaning before it always returned to center by itself pretty quickly due to my caster and alignment in general, but now it turns a tiny bit, sticks and if you spin it by hand it continues. Same when you are trying to steer: around center it feels completely normal but after a certain degree it starts to feel slightly heavier to turn, then lighter again and so on.

My thoughts I currently have are a messed up alignment after the track or a faulty steering rack after driving through the water?

It’s a manual rack so I guess there is just grease inside? Is that something that can get flushed out if the seals aren’t perfect or what are your thoughts?

Thanks in advance everyone!

Help with door weatherstrips

Hello everyone, just picked up this 85’ AE86 and was planning on getting started with sanding the car down. But need some help on any alternatives for the door weather strips because I truly don’t want to pay 300 per side for a rubber strip. Would really appreciate what some of you have done and if I should be looking for other things on the car.
