    Can't believe this is from my city, gold decals mkiv.

    Oh ya, this is the way everyone mkiv should look. (right?) http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-cars-Toyota-1993-TOYOTA-SUPRA-NON-TURBO-RUGHT-HAND-DRIVE-AUTOMATIC-W0QQAdIdZ144416053 I count no less than 9 "Supra" decals and most of em are freaking huge. For instance the "Supra Racing"...

    an6 fuel hardlines, copper, aluminium, softlines?

    I'm having a hard time finding an6 aluminium hardlines for my fuel system upgrade in anything but 4 foot brake line lengths locally. Can I use copper line, or is this a corrosion no-no? I imagine running softlines would definitely be a big no-no to replace the stock hardlines. Or does...

    Driveshaft bolts.

    I'm doing the upgrade to a 1 piece 3" alu driveshaft and I'm wondering if you can or should re-use the bolts at the joints or if you should use new like with the flywheel bolts?

    Prefered street legal tire that performs for drags too?

    There is an upcoming race here locally called "King of the Street" I'm preparing for and I was wondering what performs at the drags but is still street legal. They do not allow slicks or nitrous in this competition. Anyone able to recommend a tire for me that will be nice and sticky for...

    Aem V2 - VS - Aem V1

    How much of a benefit are the new features, really, in a real world sense, am I going to miss not having them if I go for a 6860 or stinger setup. It seems that there is a pnp for the factory 2jz harness. This is from their webpage.... Series 2 EMS for Toyota Supra Race Cars! 6/1/2009...

    Flipup headlights on when down, off when up?

    This is driving me nuts, finally got power to my car and was just starting to test things and when I turn my headlights on, they go down, and off brings them to the up position. Any suggestions? This is driving me nuts, (which at this points is a very very short drive, but thats besides...

    CP or JE pistons?

    I'm contemplating rebuilding the bottom end in an extra 2jz I have here and wonder what peoples thoughts are on CP and JE pistons? I have in the past run JE's in 2 seperate 7m's and honestly thought they were great! No complaints at all. I only recently heard of CP's. Or should I be...

    The use of LC VOIDS YOUR WARRENTY-Nissan GTR

    Yup, it appears that the factory includedc feature in the GTR, Lauch Control, is not to actually be used because if you do and you have any problems with your tranny you can expect to pay the $20K bill for a new tranny yourself. Seriously, why offer this feature if your not supposed to use...

    Ceramic coated intercooler!??

    Correct me if I am wrong here but this would not be a good idea at all..... I saw one today at the gas station in someone's car and they seemed to miss my point about it not being at all helpful to the intercoolers purpose in life. Or am I totally wrong here?

    Walboro enough pump for 1000cc, gt40r 2jz?

    I am assuming that my 18 year old stock mkiii 7m fuel pump may not be enough for my newly installed 2jz, 1000cc, gt40r setup. Or atleast it's not a bad idea to upgrade anyways due to pump age and such. Will a single walboro be enough so satisfy this new setups thirst for fuel? I've heard...

    Brake booster, vielside intake, 2jz swap clearance issue.

    I am very close but not quite able to fit my vielside intake on my 2jz during my swap into a 1990 mkii. My question is, can I dent my brake booster sluightly without killing it or is there a slightly smaller diameter booster of some other car that will fit for me? Anyone have any other...

    Cutaway models of just about ANY component you could name.

    I have no idea where this should be posted but I found it to be a very helpful resource for actually "seeing" what parts of our cars do. Surpisingly complete and alothough some pics are small it's a damn cool resource for helping explain the purpose and operation of many mysterious parts...

    Trying to decide on the backside for my GT40r.

    My old turbonetics along with my HKS electronics have been stolen so I am in the process of redoing things. I am down to having to make a decision on what backside to get for the GT40r I have settled on for my MKIII/2jz setup, .64, .83, 1.06. 1.06 is way to big I think, affecting my spool...

    Could someone please take a measurment for me?

    If possible could someone who has a jz motor with 90 or newer mkIII please measure the distance from the center of the rubber mount bolt to the flat back surface of the block that mates with the tranny. (In my case a 1jz bellhousing with a r154) I'm suspecting that the custom mounts I had...

    reading my 2jz engines serial numbers

    Any info anywhere on the engine serial numbers to get interesting information about the motors origins etc? Just for interest sakes? I'm referring to the little badge on the middle timing belt cover, or are they all the same?

    Is the the correct ECU for my 2jz-gte?

    Here's an easy one for you guys, I just want to be sure I got the correct ECU for my jap-spec 2jz-gte I am currently swapping into my ma70 mkiii. My reasons for doubting my current one are that I didn't get the engine I had originally compression tested on friday when I picked the engine up...
