Just got a SC! Few questions... :-)

[Tsporter]

Hi guys I just picked up an 87 SC. It's a Tintop with windy windows, no side skirts and came with no spoiler apparently( one fitted now) all from the factory apparently. Extremely happy with her so far but have a few noob questions. If anyone has more information on this factory model I'd love to hear it....seems rare.

Here she is:



- What grade of oil and spark plugs are recommended?

- The boot has some black gunk in the bottom below the ECU, what causes that?

What else would you look at for the first service? Ill give the coolant a flush and the brakes a look over. Timing belt was done.

Cheers

Edit:- I found the SC oil dipstick and the level is fine.

Can't help you but that's a fine looking car.

NOT Factory,

looks like a car done by a member on here or perhaps the mk1 club, two or three years ago, if is the same car, you are very lucky, if I remember right it was very well done and the work carried out was done to a good standard.

More pics would help.

Car came here to Ireland from Japan in 2007 I believe. It is originally mica blue. Other than that, I'm looking for info!

Anyone got a part number for a fuel filter?

I'm going with 90915-YZZJ2 for the oil filter...

Part numbers for spark plugs would be great to!?

Seems to be a copy of Chris' - his is a T-bar NA with white pin striping over the black.

Oil filter is the same as pretty much every other Toyota. They all use a generic one. Easily and cheaply available from Toyota. There is a short one nad a longer one, you could go for the longer one but either will suffice.

Spark plugs need to be colder than standard due to the SC. Is it on a stock pulley?

If it was me I'd go to Toyota and get the appropriate platinum plugs for it. Chassis code should reap the details they need if you have a decent dealer. Price about £60 or so for a set.

Thanks Lauren, yeah it's a standard pulley. Surely decent plugs could be gotten cheaper than that? Are they the same for the NA ?

Also where would I get a new drivers window rubber? Is it breakers only or do they do new ones?

P.s. I've been reading your posts for a long time and find them v helpful

Well you just use copper NGK's. PCP7ES or PCP6ES, Mark said he can't remember! Which ones, sorry!

I prefer to use the correct OEM ones which will be platinum Denso plugs.

NA use a different heat range.

You could try Toyota for a new rubber, no idea if they will have any though. Don't know till you ask I guess.

I must admit, though I'm fastidious when it comes to using OEM parts whenever possible with my AE86, whatever the cost.

Send me a PM if you want access to the SC forum.

Edit: NGK BCPR6EY-11 are the ones you want.

Cool thanks, ill head into Toyota first to see what they have...I think she deserves the best!

Yeah cool ill pm you now, didn't realise there was an SC forum.
