the crush washers and gasket for the oil feed and drain at the block were in mine the last time that I bought one, but that was like 2 1/2 to 3 years ago. You dont remove any of the hardware from the turbo itself. Coolent pipe and oil pipe assemblies stay attached to the turbo so no need for...

go with mandrel bend. you only need 2 elbows. the cost isn't really that much more if any. u can find the stuff online for cheap. Example of this is when I did mine, the the total dollar amount for a 3" magnaflow muffler, bullit style resonator, 7' stick of 3" pipe and two 45 degree mandrel...

didn't notice anything missing there from what you posted..... Pretty much everything needed to basically rebuild the head outside of the physical valve train hard parts (I.E. valves, valve seats, valve springs, ect...) as chances are that you wont need those items.

Dont get me wrong here, off the line spunk is nice, but 3000 rpm and higher is too much for highway cruise especially with the price of gas these days. Thats why I am dying to put a T-56 6sp. in my supra although as Ian found out, it doesn't exactly fit. but would make for a great best of both...

Jay, thats the default for the site, just change the first number to the number that Ian posted for the gear (1st thru 5th) that you want to know. Example 1.34 to 1 for 3rd gear .75 to 1 for 5th gear and so on. Also dont for get to change the tire diameter to what you have form what...

you are going to gain fuel economy just due to the fact that the MA61 is significantly lighter. As stated before the fuel economy is not going to be really any different as long as you keep your foot out of it. If you are gunho about fuel economy going N/A, then get a GE motor cause the GTE...

Ok first off, I am sorry that I mispelled your name and the bolding, it is a lot easier then quoting and erasing all the other stuff. Any other mispellings, well no one is perfect and I didn't know that we were back in school here. Second, you put a lot more detail in to the description than...

no, no need for sealant on the top side of the headgasket, just the bottom.

I dont know how true it is, but I dont think that it will bolt on without an adapter bracket of sort. I know that the front caliper mount bolt hole center to center spacing on our cars is 4.331" (110mm) and IIRC the 300z spacing is 3.543" (90mm). Plus there is a lot more to it then just...

most likely clutch issue. as stated before, tire slipage in lower gears and clutch slipage in higher gears. On a side note, if you look real close to the 2nd gear run, you can see that it is ever so slightly starting to happen and the 2nd 3rd gear pull seams worse. In a later post you did...

Yeap like Ian (IJ) i've also been there done that and didn't get the T-shirt either (bastards ripped us off). I just soaked the shit out of it with PB blaster and the right before taking it out with a big easy out, I heated the left over portion of the banjo fitting that is still in the head...

Basically the JZA70 and the late 89 and later MA70 are the same cars with just some minor differances as has been pointed out. They are A70 chassis and the MA70 is just an M series motor where as the JZA70 is just a JZ series motor. Not trying to step on toes or point pinger, but the...

to add to my last post, yes you can run without the back plate. Also, is it possible for you to take a pic or 2 and post them?

seal will sometimes leak for a short bit after a rebuild, but not really that much if any. If the cams have excessive wear grooves in them, then that could also a problem. I'd try the cam seals first. Couple of questions for you though, did you use any sealant on the joint section where...

Hit up a Mazda dealer. The High beams on the RX-8 are H9 bulbs.

I am not sure if yours has the same type of hook up as mine does, but when I had a TT on my car, I hooked the ign. signal wire from the alarm to the wiring between the ign switch and the TT that way it sensed the switch and knew nothing of the TT being there. Below are two basic sketch's that...

Have you actually measured them? They are not thick to begin with. The minimum thickness for the shoe lining is 1mm (.039"). The standard new thickness is only 2.5mm (.098") so double check that unless you already have.

Ian (IJ) is deadnuts on 10mmX1.0

you wont have any problems. the only possible code that you could get is for the speed sensor (I dont remember the code number) as it is built into the speedometer head unit. being that you plan on leaving that then you will be perfectly fine. even then, that could easily be simulated many...

its really simple. you comment about the calibrated orifce is somewhat correct. the problem here is this calibrated orfice is controling the CFM ( as we know cubic feet per minute) and yes we are limited to that number of CFM. the advantage to a larger more efficent compressor is that we can...
