Yeah I know it's not too bad, but I still dont like the looks of the stuff. I guess it looks a little better in pictures :P. And its a supra clip fresh off the boat from japan. They dont know what year it was though o_O

Ok, just ran out to take a few photos: Sorry for the blurriness. Still dont know how to use that digicam :/

my 1jz clip arrived today and the intake and exhaust manifolds have oxidation buildup and look nasty. any tips on cleaning them up? anything special to apply to them or just start hacking away with the wire brush? Thanks!

So the clip should be here pretty soon (swapping to a '88) and I was wondering what upgrades are good for starters? I have 4 drilled/slotted rotors waiting to be put on (mine are warped), planning on getting some tein flex + edfc controller. I have read that a good and somewhat cheap...

They only sell japanese front clips I thought and I dont think 7mgte falls into that category?

Where can I find a lightweight fw for a 1j?

I have an 88 automatic. Should I worry about anything if I swap a 1j?

Is the rear subframe (or cross member i think?) in an n/a mk3 different (weaker) than the subframe in a turbo supra? I believe I heard someone saying this and that when you swap a 7mgte or 1jzgte into a na car, it's good to swap out rear subframe to a stronger one (from a turbo) due to the...

So I see an aluminum or carbonfiber driveshaft will improve throttle response. Is it worth it to get one? Also, what other components come in lighter counterparts that will give noticeable throttle response gains? Thanks!

Well, for the past few months, I've been forced to carry a bottle of coolant in my car due to the fact that it hits the low mark about once or twice every month. A week or so ago, I had just come back from driving for a little bit and popped my hood in my driveway to check my oil (i also keep a...

24-29mpg (with and w/o a/c on). But then again I'm a nonturbo.

This is the tanabe you got? http://935motorsports.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=79_14_16_31&products_id=294 And where do you get a downpipe for a 1j?

Mmm, that sounds very nice. Does it drone at all on the highway?

I have found a really nice japanese supra (you know, with the 1j ;)) that has been imported to canada. The guy that has it in canada is selling it. Is it legal for a japanese (right hand drive) car to be registered and driven in america (tennessee in particular).

got any pics of it mounted by any chance? You get the hyper medallion or touring medallion?

Hm, and do you have a 1jz or 7m? Cause I LOVE the sound of the g35 and 350z.

Whats a good diameter piping for a stock or bpu 1jz? Also, I've been looking at the blitz nur spec and aeroturbine (from hpf) mufflers. How do these sound? I dont want to sound like a loud rice burner... -_- thx

Yeah, but won't they see that my car is supposedly a 3.0l. Won't they get suspicious if they see '2500' printed on the engine? Or are they not that smart down at the emissions department... And yeah, if it all works out, I'll have a 1jz and only pay insurance for a 18yearold car w/ na =)

I heard on another forum that 1jzgte's will not pass emissions here. Is this true? Also, if I take a car that was originally a non-turbo to the emissions, will they see the engine code on the 1jz and then get the insurance company to charge me twin-turbo insurance rates?? And yes, I did...
