Thought I'd share what I was up to during the weekend with the Supra. :) I bought some used rally car spike tires and steel wheels and went to a winter track event to have some fun with my friends. If you have snow available, I highly recommend this, it's so much fun. The grip on the race spike...

Yeah, it does the same thing from the passenger side. I was holding it just to see what happens to help diagnose the problem.

Any idea what could be the problem when I try to lock the doors with the key, the lock pops open immediately. If I try to keep the key in lock position I get a buzzing sound like to lock keeps opening and closing. Now I cant get my doors locked at all.

Any idea on pricing on both the small and bigger core? Will they be cheaper if BC makes them?

Phew, got the tranny installed yesterday. I got to give you guys respect who have done it in your car without a lift. We had to unbolt the subframe a little and unbolt the engine mounts to tilt the engine enough backwards to get input shaft to slide in. Took us almost three hours to install the...

Same thing happend to my friend. Glad you're OK.

Wont the rubber stock motor mounts break if I force it to tilt without unbolting them? I never thought of this, thanks for the tip.

I might give this turbo a try with the stock 48mm intake wheel first and see how it works, but it still is a little mismatched with the exhaust wheel. I'll post pics of the turbo when i receive it next week. Have you used one with these wheel sizes?

HX35 are not ball bearing turbos, maby they have offered one at some point, but 99% of HX35 are journal bearing type.

Anybody running a HX35 in a 1JZ? I just bought one as a spare if my stock twins will blow up. It has a 48mm intake and 60mm exhaust wheel and a 12cm^2 housing. I might have to have the intake wheel changed to something that fits the exhaust wheel better, maby a 52-54mm wheel.

Hey, I took off the transmission in my JZA70 for a rebuild and it was a pain to take it off, seemed like there wasnt enough space in the transmission tunnel. We finally managed to take it off with some wiggeling, but the question is, how the hell will we get it back as it was such a paint to...

I have a downpipe without a cat and the temp probe is under the car. Should I unplug it for some reason? Any benefits in doing this?

One bride seat only I'm afraid. It's the nature of this project, I'm doing everything "half assed" ie. on a budget :D Some updates on the tranny issue. Me and my friend will take off the tranny next week and another friends co-worked will rebuild the tranny for me. I'll order the MDC...

Thanks for all your positive comments! Which thrust washer? I was in the impression if 'the' thrust washer is shot, then it wouldnt go in first gear? Well, I'll have to bribe someone to rip out the tranny and see what's wrong with it.

Here's my TTR I bought a few weeks ago. I have a MKIV aswell, but I'd like to start road racing and perhaps practice some drifting. The MKIV too expensive for me to start playing around with it so I tought I'd get something cheaper. This is my sixth Supra and fourth MK3. I got the MK3 from an...

When do you get full spool with this setup?

You can check my dyno curve, I posted it on the 2nd page. I have around 1 bar/15psi at 3800rpm and positive boost at 2000-2500rpm (hard to tell in an automatic because of kickdown).

Yes, I know it's weak. I use this car mainly for roadracing and not drag racing. This is also why I asked about the aftermarket LSD option if it would make the diff stronger. Thanks for the answers guys.

Can you change the injectors to MKIV JDM 440cc without taking the manifold off?

Which oil would you suggest putting on a stock JZA70 torsen rear end? I would prefer Redline oil as I can get it locally. I've read that the Torsen rear end isnt as beefy as the 7M clutch type? Is it the actual Torsen LSD that breaks in the diff? Can I make the diff stronger by changing to an...
