    Brake Lockup/Drag Racing Application

    Did you ever fix your brake issue? Even though I'm running Wilwood kit in the front, and also removed my abs, it sounds a lot like a problem I've been dealing with for a long time now.

    Wilwood caliper creaking sound?

    I have had the 4-pot azp kit on my car for about as long as the thread originator. The creaking sound from these calipers is apparently quite normal. They are very lightweight, all aluminum calipers and they flex when brake pressure is applied, creating the noise. Functionally this poses no...

    Testing out Zankoku Coilovers...

    Can any of you guys tell me how I would adjust the dampening on these coilovers? There is a threaded insert on the top of each coil, but I think that I remove that and then the dampening is adjusted by putting a screwdriver into the hole and rotating, listening/feeling for clicks? Also, if I...

    1jz timing

    That's just it hvyman, I have read numerous sources about there being 2 marks on the crank pulley, but I only see one on mine. I don't get that. I will pull the #1 though and use that for the check. Thanks for the input

    1jz timing

    I am needing to remove my cam gears so I can replace the cam seals and seal up the little valleys in the cam end covers to stop leaking. There are yellow tick marks on my upper timing gear cover that match yellow tick marks on my cam gears. The only thing is, when I line up the yellow cam gear...

    CT12a soft line replacements

    Your doubts are correct, sir, there is no hardline leak in this case, perhaps my wording and title could have been more descriptive? I am referring to the OEM softlines that connect from the turbo oil return hardlines to the oil return outlet on the oil pan of the 1JZ. Please see the schematic...

    CT12a soft line replacements

    What do you guys use to replace these hoses? I believe mine are leaking and are definitely like peanut brittle. I was just told yesterday that Toyota doesn't sell, stock, or manufature them anymore.

    1jz upper oil pan removal

    Hvyman I've double checked that I have removed all of the pan bolts to include the ones connecting the pan to the bell housing, but I will certainly triple-check before I go back to pry these f#$kers apart, thank you sir!

    1jz upper oil pan removal

    Thanks Chip. I guess I was worried about marring the face of the pan or block, but since it is a sealant seal, and not a formed gasket, it shouldn't be a big deal if i scratch either face a bit using a lever of some sort to pry. Getting ready for the winter up there?

    1jz upper oil pan removal

    So I am attempting to pin point a leak and I already have the front subframe of the car off, so I figure I will reseal both the lower and upper oil pans. My current issue is removing them, primarily the upper pan. I have double checked that I've removed all of the bolts and disconnected the...

    help with front strut

    Here's one for everybody: do the domed washers that go on the outside of the upper control arm bushings face so they are convex to the bushing (creating ~ 1/8" gap between the washer and the rubber bushing, and thus contacting metal to metal with the bushing inner metal sleeve-see pic below), or...

    Front Wheel Bearings Replacement Advice

    On my 89 that hub nut requires a 36mm socket. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the bearing out without a shop press, all of the pullers I've come across have arms that have too much of an angle on them to grab onto the slots on the ID of the hub to pull it away from the bearing.
