    JZA70 Time Attack Track and Street

    Hey guys, taking a different route with my JZA70, which has been off the road for almost 12 months with a mysterious electrical issue while I looked for a new auto electrician and tuner. I now have a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 5 which is my daily and since I rarely drive the Supra, I decided I...

    So who has solid mounted their subframes?

    Im in the process of building my JZA70 for track work. Id still like to use the car on the streets for occasional meets and the odd weekend drive but the priority is to make it handle as well as possible. I have some alloy subframe spacers here for the front and the rear (and also a bunch of...

    Converting to E85, what's required? 1JZ

    Well, I hardly drive my car anymore and its becoming more of a track orientated build by the day. Its currently due to have a haltech PS2000 ECU wired in with a total new map and E85 has just become more readily available here in Adelaide, Australia. I figured i'll take the plunge and go E85...

    Aftermarket tie rods ends

    Who is using them? Seems to be very little available for the MK3. I know there are the supernow out of japan available on RHD japan but there seems to be a big discrepancy between their pricing and whats on supernow's direct website. Rumour has it that the MK4 megan racing tie rod ends fit...

    Aftermarket Dash (motec etc) - who has done it?

    I've just bought a racepak logger dash to put in my car and I want to do away with the stock instrumentation all together. The dash looks like this... I was planning on gutting the factory panel and fitting this along with some blinkers for the turn signals and finishing with some sort...

    Aluminum sub-frame bushes?

    Who makes them? I'm after some for the front and/or rear. I acknowledge that this will do wonders for the discomfort of the car, but its a road course orientated set up so making it handle better is my major goal. I will probably weld the rear subframe onto the chassis but if anyone knows where...

    oil filter thread size 7M, 1JZ, 2JZ???

    Just a quick question, not technical discussion. I'm piecing together an oil cooler kit with remote filter and need to confirm what thread i need to get for 1JZ GTE (i know 7M, 1JZ, 2JZ all take the same filter so the thread is therefore the same). I am pretty sure its 3/4-16 inch, can...

    Steering boss - what to get and where?

    bit of a newb question, but what are people using in the way of boss kits here in the US? I know HKB do one out of Japan but i'd like to know what is on offer in the US for our cars, preferably to match up with a Sparco steering wheel (I think they are same pattern as momo). If anyone can...

    Wilwood caliper creaking sound?

    I've had the ARZ wilwood 4 pot kit on my jza70 for less than 12 months, have barely driven the car in that time, maybe 2000 miles. In the past few days I've noticed a creaking sound coming from the front right when braking. So I jacked the car up to take a closer look. When I press the brake...

    Walbro pump, which part no. for JZA70?

    There are a few different part numbers, GSS340/341/342. I am after the 500hp internal version (255L/h) and it's going into a JZA70 with the stock fuel hanger (single pump application). Apprently the differences between parts is the angle at which the filter bag hangs? Also, are there any...

    Turbonetics GTK 550 on 1JZ GTE?

    Has anyone used something from the GTK range on their 1JZ (or any other motor for that matter)? I have been offered a Turbonetics GTK 550 that has done less than 1K miles at a reasonably good price and want to know how I can expect it to perform alongside a 1JZ GTE. Engine is stock, with...

    A/M rear sway bar links?

    Did a quick search but didn't find much in the way of these. Does anyone make them for the rear of our cars to replace the crappy plastic stock part?

    Dyed my interior carpets BLACK - - what do you think?

    I really prefer my interiors to be neat and tidy, my latest A70 didnt come with the greatest condition interior, and this is largely due to the carpet being stained and torn. The condition is poor to the point where the carpets were almost a throw away anyway so I thought id experiement with...

    Steering Wheels...what are you using?

    I'm on the hunt for a new steering wheel as the personal on my car is old and tired, not to mention some peanut used non-tapered fasteners and has essentially tried to fit a sqaure peg into a round hole, thus chewing out the fastener holes. I feel like steering wheels often are over looked...

    Lower strut bolt question

    Below are some pics of the FRONT lower strut bolt. Notice there is a thick washer there. I've done this bolt up damn tight and there isnt much thread left over. The other side doest not have a washer, it could be missing (perhaps someone didnt put it back somewhere along the line) or maybe it...

    Ball joints - how much grease?

    Might be a stupid question...but how much grease should you pump in when greasing a brand new ball joint? Surely if you over-fill the joint it could damage dust seals/boots. I took my new ball joints into an auto shop for them to grease but it doesn't feel like there is a whole lot in there...
