    Someone tried to steal my supra!

    yeah, the alarm didnt work as the battery is not rigged up or is there any wiring in the engine bay. but yeah i think it was pretty funny, they could have easily gone for my missus old shitty EB ford (i wish they would have, its insured for 4x as much as its worth)

    Someone tried to steal my supra!

    Friday night someone attempted to steal my supra, behind a locked gate, they broke the locks and gained access to the car, then broke into the car before realizing that my supra currently has no motor... thankfully otherwise my pride and joy would be gone!!!

    W58 transmission swap

    mine was converted to W58 aswell, from memory the reverse light needs to be adapted and the loom extended, front half of the tail shaft is shorter, transmission mount, 225mm flywheel, 225mm clutch (240mm is R154) you'll need the hydraullic clutch gear, just use some common sense when...

    New Engine, Cracked Block, Fixable?

    whats wrong with getting the crack properly welded up and then retapped... its never going to be good as new but still assembly costs arnt cheap, you may aswell throw your money in the bin otherwise... did you over tighten the bolt? i dont think its supposed to be done up super tight

    2nd gen 7mgte motors

    i noticed on my 6m crank block it has no oil squirters...where as my 7m block did, both 7mgte's.... intresting... the 6m cranked block i have is no 1173 built.... where as my 7m crank is 123,343 or something.. maybe it was a early block before they decided to do any squirters????

    Are 7m-gte clutches the same as GE?

    no... 7m-ge uses a W58, its a 225mm flywheel push clutch 7m-gte uses a R154, its a 240mm flywheel pull type clutch ive got a W58 behind my 7mgte, using a 225mm flywheel and it bolts up fine... (it was converted to manual before i got it, i wish they would have used the R154)

    ever attemted?

    no offence but, NO... i've built a N/A cars and i know from experience, there is no replacement for displacement, (boost is extra displacement) once an engine has reached %100 volumetric efficiency you cannot do much to surpass this... unless you add more displacement, sure you can make it...

    Aussie MKIII chitchat! (all welcome) NWS

    ive seen a few 7m manifolds cut and welded to be front facing, ive got a spare manifold, i might cut it open and see if its possible, i think these run 17" runners. i just want to clean up the bay a bit and cut like 1.5M off my i/c piping... unless anyone knows of a 1jz manifold going cheap...

    Burning Oil....

    more than likely if your rings are worn you will have excess blowby and it will force oil into your "accordian" pipe take that off and check for oil leading from the crankcase breather...

    Questions on differences between 7M-GTE and 7M-GE.

    i asked my engine builder weather i should use the 6m crank out of my pre 89 block or the crank out of my 89+ block, he said use the 7m crank as toyota just put more counterweights in for a good reason,

    oil through the intercooler pipes

    could be blowby, i had this and the crank case pressure was forcing all my oil into the breather and into the intake... i thought my turbo was screwed till i checked it all out, i have 0 shaftplay, btw a little radial shaft play is normal as when it spools up it stays centralised (because its...
