That mofo in the convertible Silvia is KUH RAY ZEE!!

Make sure that the sensor is torqued down properly. I've heard that if it is not, it can, and usually does, cause a fault.

Yes, it certainly could cause them to leak. I believe part of the reason Toyota put phillips screws in was to prevent over-torque. An allen really lets you put some ass on those bolts easily.

You need a little Cooleeze in your life. :D

Maybe I'm strange, but I DO like the pre-89 front with the 89+ rear. I was considering this at one point. I have other things to sink my cash into though.

Hehe.. when you said "backwards cap" I almost died, because it DOES fit the stereotype. The only case that was similar, but worse, is a guy on base with a 240 that has a SR20 swap. He has an all black hat with SR20-DET printed in big white letters on front. You know HE wears HIS facing front...

It sounds like you were given a good thing to start with, AND like you are fixing the right things first. Most people are more worried about going fast right away. Welcome to the forum - I hope you enjoy your stay. I hope you have a great time with your new car. Be prepared - you are going to...

Hey.. since you make 1JZ parts, I wanted to ask and see if you make 89+ 1JZ motor mounts. BIC makes pre-89 ones, and you can get 89+ ones OEM [from few select sources - Jeff Watson, Arnout, and maybe Suzie from an Aussie dealer]. They are not terribly expensive from the dealer, but I wanted to...

Don't torque the hell out of them. Make sure the holes are completely cleaned out and then screw the bolts all the way in with your fingers until they are tight. If you have to [recommended], use a torque wrench with an allen hex adapter and follow the factory torque sequence. I'm not shittin'...

That's what I get for not noticing there's a 2nd page to the thread.Seriously, though, it's hideous. I hope they don't make that car even worse than it is. I thought the 2.5RS looked nice, but then again, they didn't have any balls.

Yeah.. I saw that too. It was nice how easily their thrashed junkyard Supra with a 2JZ-GE that they showed UP-CLOSE AND OBVIOUS in the movie gets transformed by that moronic Vee-Dub driving "computer genius" who claimed he can work magic on it with the hook-up of overnight parts from Japan...

Well, I was at work and he had to run off for a minute. He said he'd be back after he told me that, and I conveniently took up another project across the street in another maintenance building for about an hour. I had the feeling that I would not enjoy the upcoming conversation. I'm just not...

Something about the front end screams Alfa Romeo, Peugeot or one of the other practically worthless eurocar companies.

Goddamn ricers.. for a long time, there was a little CRX hatch that was partially stripped - no back seats, a strut bar across in the rear, intercooler in front, decent aftermarket exhaust. I had never heard it run or anything, but it looked decent [aside from the sticker across the windshield...

I've lived in Japan and the USA, and I'll tell you.. if I had to live anywhere in the world other than the USA, Australia and Japan would be my top picks. You Aussies seem laid back and friendly - plus, some of my ancestors or forks WAY back in my family tree probably went that way - I've got...

If you want it to look nice, either ceramic coat it, or break out the different grits of sandpaper and a can of metal polish.

Can't you leave it as-is? Who's going to be looking at your downpipe? ..'cause I'll tell you, it won't impress the inspections guys. :D
