My diff has always had a bit of a whine at highway speed, nothing serious. I've been running synthetic oil in it, and was thinking of switching back to regular oil, possibly something slightly thicker to reduce the noise; especially since I am about to install poly subframe bushings that can...

A few days ago I noticed that my A/C aux fan was working. Recently on a very hot day, I noticed it was not working. How can I wire it up so it is on all the time whenever the A/C is on? I find that the performance of my air conditioning is not good enough at idle in slow traffic. My 3.5"...

I was under my car today while it was running, and I could see some runout/wobble in the rotating crank pulley, not sure, maybe 1mm? This engine in the past has had the bolt come loose and damage the key way. I checked it today and it was again needing to be retightend (wasn't loose enough to...

My turbo is a custom billet GT35r that has the water lines excessively close to the T4 turbine housing. The banjo bolt in the pic below I had to have cut shorter, machined in a lathe, and have an allen bolt head welded on. This was the only way to install this bolt and tighten it on the turbo...

Here is a very interesting concept that a very small number of people are trying these days, most of them having great success: Spraying water/methanol directly into the turbo to cool the air AS it is heated by the compressor wheel, making it dramatically more efficient, lowering outlet temps...

I'm in the middle of installing an AEM water/methanol kit, and it says you can place the nozzle farther away from the throttle and manifold for an "enhanced cooling effect". I will likely install the nozzle into my HKS 3000 pipe right after the blow off valve(to avoid spraying mist out of the...

Reading the manual over and over, I can't find any info on how to set the boost for each gear on my AVCR. I can set start duty, and feedback for each gear, but not actual boost? :1zhelp: Manual: http://www.apexi-usa.com/content/pdf6115.pdf

Most Koyo radiators only come with a nylon drain plug that makes a hell of a mess when draining the rad. After reading this thread on another forum: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/bolt-tech/282246-resolved-how-empty-koyo-radiator.html it looks like the plug thread is an M10x1.25. Anyone else...

Since the massive bodywork and interior makeovers are now done, after this long thread: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29531 I figured I should start a new one as I progress and continue to upgrade the performance of the car. Here's a quick rundown of the new recent mods...

For those that don't know, the dashpot is an emissions control device to help burn unburnt fuel each time the throttle is closed while driving. It is a simple diaphram that uses a valve to let air in quickly, but release it slowly, easing the throttle plate closed when released over a very short...

Just wondering how badly drag racing will shorten the life of my clutch? I have an ACT Xtreme pressure plate and an ACT organic street disc rated to hold 522tq. The clutch is perfectly broken in, and holds my 400+ hp perfectly. I'd like to do a little bit of drag racing this year just for fun...

I'm soon going to install poly bushings into my car. But I was reading on some other car forums that people have experienced binding and squeaking after 6-12 months of daily driving, even though they lubed the bushings at the time of installation. They said they had to relube them and should...

I know a few here have installed Whiteline sway bars. Just wondering if you have tried the different stiffness settings or combinations of them, and what you felt was the best balance? I have mine on medium front and rear, and the handling is very good with understeer occurring when pushed...

I don't street race because it is unsafe and illegal, but I had this really cool dream the other night! I was in the left lane and passed an old guy with his wife/gf driving an 80's Porsche 911. Approaching the next intersection, the light turned green and he flew by me pretty quickly. I sped...

I bought some -10 Mr. Gasket braided hose, and it has quite a few of these annoying cosmetic flaws in the braid. Is there another brand that doesn't have this problem? Aeroquip? Russell? My local shop doesn't stock any of these so I can't see them before buying. Thanks

Is it common on a Mk3 that large amounts of water get inside the car through the window seals at a touchless car wash? My seals are new and the windows were well adjusted, but man I got soaked! My old Mk2 seals much better than this.

I've been searching, but can't seem to find this info. I'm assembling the parts I'll need to install my GT series turbo, and I'm trying to find out all the sizes of the water and oil line fittings. I've got the specs for the turbo, and it looks like I'll need the Arizona Perf. 7M -10 oil return...
