    Dual Piston Front Brakes = Change in Bias on an ABS Car?

    Ummmm...excuse me for saying so, but wouldn't it be easier to fix the ABS vs installing a ghetto fix? (after all, you've gone down that path before with other issues and the result was?)

    Why you can't try to teach people about oil

    ^^^ You got that right...most guys you run into a "wanna be" race car driver that spout off the worst BS about oil. Here's a short interview with Rusty Wallace on the subject of synthetic oil and the weights they use in NASCAR. Note the part about: "we don't race anything over 30 weight...

    Low oil pressure? Turbo?

    Here's the TSRM spec for engine oil pressure: http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=LU&P=4 Note the troubleshooting chart on the above page. Yours is a touch low, but still in spec...a couple things to consider: - The cooler circuit relief valve on the side...

    Cressida?

    You just posted this question a few days ago and got plenty of answers: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1340954#post1340954 There was no reason to create another thread when responding to the 1st one (that you seem to be ignoring) would have been appropriate. Thread...

    API GL5 Vs. GL4

    Speaking of details, note that RL 75W-90NS is a GL-5 gear oil...it is fine to use in a R154 or W58. The difference between it and standard RL 75W-90 is the friction modifier additive for an LSD...the 75W-90NS does not have it. It's not that both oils are a GL-5 that makes it unsuitable for a...

    Bearing plate? (suspension)

    I'll guarantee if your upper bearing plates aren't bad, your muffler bearings are. DriftMotion has them: Chrome Titanium Cryo Carbon JDM Muffler Bearing ;)

    Cleaning Block Surface when Block is in Car

    LOL...you got more sideways moves than a desert rattler. Sure, that's what you meant :rolleyes: Might be best for you to quit while you're ahead. Also might be a good idea for you to refrain posting in the Tech sections till you can make it a bit more clear as to what you exactly mean...

    API GL5 Vs. GL4

    Grim - Read this: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showpost.php?p=614158&postcount=7 (GL-5 is not the devil's urine. Depends on what the gear oil is formulated for...tranny or LSD) Ford 75W-90 is a GL-4 iirc.

    EGR delete, yes or no?

    Tell me, how did you come to this conclusion? Instinct? Karma? Yoda? Your cat tell you? The reason the EGR is there is pretty well documented in the Toyota Tech literature and you say you don't believe it. You need to back this statement up sport with more than hearsay and "I do not...

    Needle appearance is different iirc, but it will work fine.

    Guess what i did

    No need for a GM MAF...MafT Pro on speed density needs a GM temp and pressure sensor.

    Fuel cut is there for a reason ;) An FCD = BOOM in short order...you won't catch me using one.

    Cleaning Block Surface when Block is in Car

    I didn't know the 7M had an aluminum block ;) Learn something new from the noob village know-it-all every day. I highly advise NOT sanding the block...it's difficult to keep the strokes even and not create an uneven surface. Plus, it's not the metal dust so much, but the grit from the sand...

    Oil Filter difference

    I'd like to see any documentation on that Justin. Denso Japan was the primary filter manufacturer for as long as I can remember, until they switched to the Thailand version.
