Vehicle Description
I'm selling my 1989 Toyota Supra Non-Turbo. I've put a ton of sweat into restoring the engine on this car and a little over a grand in parts. I've documented the restoration along the way and listed a ton of info in a website. Copy and paste this link into your browser for many more pictures and details of the car: www.supra.aysystems.net

I put just over a thousand dollars in parts into this car and they have less than a couple hundred miles on all of them. Please see mywebsite (also listed above) for further details: www.supra.aysystems.net
The only thing left on the car to complete is the knock sensor. I keep getting a code #52 which refers to an open circuit. I tried replacing the knock sensor but the code remains. The used, oem knock sensor I purchased off Ebay will come with the car. Here is a website that shows MKIII Supra engine codes: http://www.supracentral.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=33&Itemid=42
***UPDATE 6/29*** I did a little more brainstorming and research regarding the knock sensor and have come to a possible conclusion. I bought a knock sensor from a Toyota 1JZ-GTE motor (came from a J-spec Toyota Supra motor) to replace my broken OEM 7M-GE Knock sensor. I assumed it was the same identical sensor but perhaps it isn't. After doing some research I haven't come up with conclusive evidence that the sensors have a different voltage output, however, I also haven't determined whether the 1JZ knock sensor is compatible with the 7M-GTE motor. I just assumed that Toyota made all knock sensors from that era of the same specicifcation. Also, the knock sensor was used and may not even be a good part. I'd bought it off of ebay (see my previous buyer feedback for a link to the sensor). The problem may simply lie in the fact that the 1JZ-GTE knock sensor isn't compatible with the 7M-GE motor. The new owner may want to try finding a used/new knock sensor designed for this car with the 7M-GE before replacing the wiring from the ECU. ***END UPDATE***
After reading up on the topic quite a bit I heard that many people had to run a new line to the ECU from the knock sensor. I've been working on this car since mid winter and don't have the time to research the problem any further. The code 52 simply causes the car to retard the timing up to 3k RPM. After 3k RPM the ECU ignores the signal. The car runs great after 3k RPM's and sounds awesome, especially with the Bosal Exhaust. To set the timing at 10 degrees TDC I kept the engine over 3k RPM and then timed the car so that true timing could be performed without the retarded timing from the code 52. Other than that problem there are only a few other minor issues with the car the next owner may choose to fix including: 1. Re-upholster the armrest. It's been worn through from someone's elbow rubbing over the years
2. Replace the front windshield wiper blades. I replaced the rear but the fronts should be done as well.
3. Have the provided fuel filter installed (either by yourself or professionally done)
4. Fix a couple rust spots. With a little TLC this car could look outstanding for its year.
It's really the winning bidder's decision whether they would like to drive the car home with the engine code. It won't hurt anything but will be really annoying. I'd suggest either trailoring the car or having a Toyota Dealer locally fix the problem (EXPENSIVE!!!). That is just my personal opinion. However you can make your own call.
The car comes with a full tank of gas and is located in Dublin, OH (just outside Columbus, Ohio). There is no reserve on this auction and I've started the bidding at $1000.00. Buyer is responsible for arranging any shipping and the cost is also there responsibility. The car is being sold as is with no warranty.
Other than those few things this car could be a great runner or awesome continuation of my restoration project. I already have two Nissan 240sx's and have no need for this car. One of them I dropped an SR20 turbo motor in from Japan and so have plenty of other projects to wrench on at the moment. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. The car will be ready for pickup on July 7th or anytime after as I will be out of town for the July 4th weekend. My cell is 231-557-1568, just ask for Nick. Thanks
