So sorry for your loss. I'm glad they caught the SOB, but such a waste...I can't even imagine Did the bastard get past a security systems? OEM, aftermarket? Damn I hate thieves.

C'mon, trucks don't use puny Supra driveshaffts...they use massive ones designed for the power being applied....silly rabbit...:nono: Again, huge loads transmitted at low shaft speeds. But then again, if you drive your Supra like a truck, I guess....LOL The stocker was designed to acheive...

This is true: it's increased length is the weak link in the one piece balance equation. The lower mass can compensate somewhat if the shaft is properly built and balanced however. And balanaced is balanced. It either is or isn't, regardless of length. Exactly. Sucess in anything depends on...

Drive your car for a month or so to see if I like it? You rock! JK! You were talking about HVAC, weren't you.... Darn... So for a 2j swap, you would use the 2j ecu and do a little wiring magic to hook up dash and hvac, etc? I'm guessing it's not exactly plug and play, or is it...

FWIW, I finally diagnosed mine last year by raising the car securely off it's wheels with stands, running the car in and out of gear, and listening with a mechanics stethoscope while also checking driveshaft alignment, ujoint and support bearing condition, and the rest of the TSRM recommended...

Does yours clunk or have a lot of driveline lash or freeplay when going on and off the gas? My rear diff is going out, has been for about five+ years. Not sure whether it's the gearset, diff clutch, or bearings, but with age and abuse come wear, so mine is probably all worn out to some...

Indeed. I love my 7M cars. I'd love them if they were equiped with 1jz's just as much, if not more I'm sure. But without expereinceing it, I can only guess. Which is why I am volunteering to drive not just a few 1jz MK3's, but I would also be willing to drive a few MK4's to see which car I like...

Good points! I have a one piece in my 89 and a two piece in the wife's 89. I have driven many other freinds Supras (1 piecers and stockers) and the difference is, IMHO, imperceptible. You have to drive them back to back over the same roads at the same speeds (ours both have the same tires...

My bad...2 people on the internet say it's true, so therefore it is a fact.... Unfortunately I don't know it all like others here, so I can't quote weights and figures from the top of my head, nor can I give a general recommendation or subjective dissent without giving the basis of my opinion...

AFAIK, #1 reason Toyota uses a 2 piece shaft is for comfort. Same reason the subframes are rubber mounted; not for increased performance, but for smoother passenger car operation (isolation from vibration). Unless my engineering books are incorrect, less mass = easier to balance and maintain...

Good times! White Pass was fun... ...in a twisted kinda way....

Hey baby!

Been really happy with ours over past two years. Only at 320+rwhp, but butter smooth engagement and no slip. Exact same setup SB SS 6 puck sprung hub. Have had ACT, RPS, OS Giken, all stiif, harsh, chatter, slip, break, etc.. SouthBend best value and most streetable, and durability good so far...

#1 advantage is never having to replace that carrier bearing again. Other advantages include: better tourque dampening during launch and shifts; lightweight benefits include less rotational mass, easier to balance and maintains balance better, less wear on bearings in tranny and rear end and...

Yeeehaa! Another Supra back on the road!:burnout: Yep, left on right, and vice a versa, upside down bleeders....:beer: What surprises me is how easy is it to put them on wrong. There is no unique bolt pattern or bracket orientation to prevent incorrect installation. Granted, the rears do...

Again, pedal height retention test is for booster operation. All these test require that all air be removed from the hydraulic system PRIOR to conductiing tests, as mentioned on the "Hint" sections on BR-6 of the TSRM. The booster is not an issue until the hydraulic system is fixed and the...
