    Front wheel bearing adjustment?

    What are you talking about? Yes they are pressed in, but if there was no nut holding it, the cars weight in corners, etc would so pop it out, lol. That being said, there is no cotter pin, I believe it is a stake nut holding it, if it wasn't staked properly, it could come loose. That being said...

    Home Theater questions

    That's strange. I've passed my PS3 through my receiver using HDMI without issue. (I don't anymore because it only supports 1080i and not 1080p, but it worked fine). Jeff

    2 pinion vs 4 pinion

    As a clutch pack LSD wears, it slowly acts more and more like an open diff. It takes less effort to overcome the friction of the clutch discs. Even an LSD that is almost totally worn out can still act like an LSD if you jack it up and turn one wheel. You really do want to test how easily you...

    N/A w/ r154

    No matter how many R154's I drive, and no matter how many W5x's I drive, some of which are in very nice condition (such as my R154). The W58 is still smoother. My R154 is pretty smooth, I have no complaints at all with it, in fact I quite enjoy it. However it has new Redline gear oil in it and...

    N/A w/ r154

    Everything drivetrain related from the flywheel back needs to be from a Turbo (or be the same as or equivalent to a turbo model). So, you need to make sure you use a GTE flywheel, GTE clutch, pressure plate, fork, ball, slave, hard lines, soft line, front driveshaft, etc, etc. In any case, to...

    2 pinion vs 4 pinion

    Indeed, also all A70 Supras are 4-pinion. (Save for vehicles equipped with a Torsen, and low-grade GA70's with 7.5" diffs) Jeff

    Parking Brake Shoes same as Cressida ?

    I have catalogs. I work at a Toyota dealer here in Canada, I also have copies of all the global catalogs from around 1980 until 2004. I can check information sources tomorrow to see if I can find some sort of diameter specification for the Cressida and Supra. That being said, parking brake...

    Parking Brake Shoes same as Cressida ?

    Part numbers are not the same, so I have a feeling they are different.

    Spot what doesnt fit with this car

    Both are fully balanced yes, but counter-balanced means there is a balance to oppose the weight of the piston/rod, and we both know there was no weight to counter balance cylinders 2 and 5 on 6M cranks. (PS: We are arguing semantics here.) Jeff

    Spot what doesnt fit with this car

    Actually 6M crank is 86.1 to 89.7, 89.8 and on had the 7M crank. 89.8 and on is 1990 model. 1989 and up have 160km speedometers, N/A or Turbo doesn't matter.

    Spot what doesnt fit with this car

    It's not quite like the MKIV, because on the MKIV it was factory installed option. On the MKIII, (in North America), no N/A's came from the factory with a spoiler. If it has a spoiler, it was installed after the fact. Chances are Toyota even had a different supplier for the DIO spoilers, and...

    Wiring for head light squirter on a "90"

    I've used the ones on my 88 many times when driving on the highway. It's amazing how much dust and dirt gets on there slowly without even noticing it. They work quite well. Jeff

    g25 logitech

    Because it will only be wired into one of the momentary buttons on the G25, I will be using the stock switch on the e-brake handle that is used to turn the light on the dash in the car on. I will have it adjusted to grab probably 1/2 to 2/3 of the way up the pull and will use a strong spring on...

    g25 logitech

    I built my cockpit using the seat from my AE86, going to use the center console with cupholder and wire in the e-brake as well. It will be so FTW it's not even funny. Jeff

    Out of ideas: The dreaded Toyota "Click" when attempting to start.

    Probably needs new starter contacts. That's my bet. Jeff

    Did MKIII's come from factory with R-134?

    If you're converting from R12 to R134a, there's a few things you should do if you want it done completely correctly. 1. Evacuate the system completely. 2. Replace all the o-rings in the system with R134a compatible ones. 3. Replace the receiver/drier. 4. Add adapter fittings for R134a. 5. Use...

    All MK3's came with R12. MK4's came with R134a. Jeff

    g25 logitech

    I've had one since they were first released. Usually use it for Gran Turismo, but I use it on my PC occasionally (or I used to). It's in my cockpit setup now though, so not as portable. Jeff
