Post questions that don't deserve their own thread here.
I'll start.
I have around $10,000 USD to blow on a MK3 Supra 89 with a 7m-GE engine. The car itself will cost me between $2600-$3200. Planning on swapping in a 1JZ-GTE coupled with a R154 gearbox whilst also completely changing the interior and polishing the outside if needed.
Any suggestions for things to change with the car? I won't be using the car for racing or drifting or anything like that. I just wanted a good looking sports car with a reliable interior.

I think my differential ate shit yesterday, it started making a awful grinding noise, then clunking noise joined the game, then it started snagging and would barely even go forward. So I thought a tooth broke or something, but the weird thing is that it goes fine in reverse. No problem, no noise at all. Is that normal or weird? Could it be something other than the differential? And the car is an s2000. I figure it was the diff because the noise comes directly from the center/rear part of the car, can't be one of the wheels or transmission.

I dont know shit about cars, but i have to wire up a car radio to a bench power supply.
I've connected the constant 12v, switched 12v, and GND to my bench power supply; it draws about 10mA. The fan does not spin and it does not turn on when i press the power button.
It's a ZENEC NC-2010 for a VW, and a friend gave it to me because it seems to have software issues.

Should i buy an 87 sentra sport coupe with a spare engine, 3 sets of wheel (1 is the orig alloys) and a spare man trans for 1300 Veeky Forums?

The constant may need to be throttled down to 5v.

Hmmm, might i have fried it already?

Go with a CD09, not an r154. Other than that, they cruise pretty good as it. If your car has TEMS, you're probably better off deleting it and getting some good coils.

Sounds like it. Is it the factory radio? What year vw?

Are you sure you are applying power to the correct wires?

I start as an apprentice at a VW dealership soon. What should I know about working on krautwagons? I'm a level 3 apprentice in Ontario but have never done much more than oil changes and light bulbs on German cars.
