  1. Here we go, this is the link to the pads http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=80894&highlight=allied+nippon
  2. The pads are meant to be exactly the same pads as you get with OEM, a trader on here was selling them a few weeks ago. I got them for £15, because I was lucky I guess, they normally cost more...
  3. They are allied Nippon pads, basically meant to be exactly the same as OEM pads, as this company makes them for Toyota apparently... I got them cheap £15
  4. If this is the case, what can be done?
  5. Cool, ill give that a try, the anti sqeal pads wouldnt by any chance happen to be a shiny piece of metal would it, i remember there was a thin metal stripe on the back of the pad? I have 1 of the old pads spare, ill see if there is anything on there ...
  6. im not sure, I just took the car to the garage and had the brakes changed, I gvae them the brakes though...What are anti squel shims?
  7. Hi, I recently got new front brake pads..After about 300 miles driving they sqeek sooo much when i brake lightly to medium!!, its so embarrasing. What can I do, when I first start the car and drive around for 5-10 mins the brakes dont make any noise, but once they heat up a bit the noise is soooo Loud!!. Braking is fine it doesnt pull to 1 side.. Please Help

  9. MATE HOUNESTLY, for £300 you can live like a real KING. No joke, £1 has the value of £100. KFC Family MEGAMEAL delivered to your door 24/7 emmm 20p, yes 20p Tips * To avoid gettiong ripped off try and pick up the local lingo early on so you know what there saying. * NEGOTIATE, those egyptians will accept anything, they will see your a tourist and try and rip you off, but dont have any of it. Try and act like you know what your doing and you know what you want, you tell them a price dont let them tell you, eventually they will accept. *You HAVE to be firm when talking & walking around, otherwise you will be dragged into shops and almost forced to buy stuff by very persuasive people. Watch out for the papyrus shops, they once chanced my friends half way down a neighbourhood. * ALWAYS drink bottled water, have plenty of it and keep yourself hydrated. * Try not to take out all your cash with you all the time, as if one egyptian sees it.....ITS all over, all the shopkeepers will be around u like a flys on ****
  10. I cant bare to look, show me a dead human, but not a supra like that, its as if the oil is blood and the parts are bones....heart breaking, hope whosever it is gets it sorted or something..
  11. hey you have the same wheels as me and the same colour!!!!
  12. Hey I used to worry about this aswell, On startups mainly in cold I used to get loads of white smoke, a bit like a volcano at times, but after 15 mins idle or a little drive about it all dissapeared.....This is nothing to worry about as like the guys said its probs condensation in in your exhaust getting evaporated, Test it out a bit, start it in the morning and monitor the smoke levels for about 10-15 mins and see what the levels are... I never knew about the coolant fluid going low if the piston rings are on the way out, Ill be sure to keep a close eye on that from now on
  13. I find myself taking a long way back home from work or uni or gym almost everyday because I just dont want to get out of the car, everytime I park up and get out the car I feel as if I just closed a chapter in the book.. I love driving my car
  14. Hi http://videos.streetfire.net/search/supra/0/b9a29089-1b68-4248-b6da-989d0097e2ef.htm This is a compilation of various supras with different exhaust systems on for all those who wanted to hear some sound and video files... Shows a decent comparison between some of the well known exhaust systems on supras such as the nur spec and hks dragger and even a veilside which I have never seen before... Though about posting in multimedia but thought this might generate alot of discussion and help a few people out who were thinking about buying one of these systems...
  15. I have a XS exhaust, i think if you run a search you should find the sound file I attached.... It sounds amazing, i have not gone decat yet, but it sounds really amazing...Very very clean system, perfect fit, very good weld jobs....Highly recommend it, great value for money..
  16. Man what a car what a car.....What front bumper is that?
  17. Im going to order the Goodyear eagle f1's next week after new year, even if its not a winter tyre it has to be so much better than what I have at the moment... I found out that MyTyre's warehouse is in Germany thats why there is a 1 week delivery time, Price for 2x goodyear eagle f1's (275/35/18) £137 each delivered...about £90 cheaper than my local dealer...
  18. you could always get a good second set and swap wheels every few seasons...chrome and other shiney finishes are probably better from april down to october as they stand out more, could also work out as a good idea for back up wheels incase any get damaged etc..
  19. I heard that at some drag strips, the supra engines are put in the skyline chassis due to thier reliability....i cant remember where I read it though but I saw some pictures...
  20. yeah but they were building supras up until 2002 the same as skylines...
  21. Ok I know this may have been asked a few times, but....reguardless of looks (as these are based on opinion), which of these 2 cars is the better when it comes to Performance and durability? The MK4 supra or the R34 Skyline
  22. hmm Iv been thinkin about that with my wheels aswell. As you would probably only use the wheels for maby 3 months?? id go with a cheap set of alloys that you like the look of and will get the job done...the remaining 9 months your car can be blinging again lol
  23. S02's are alot more money money than the goodyears, in some cases double the price but why??? For no reason, the f1 tyre is a better tyre..being cheaper is just a bonus
  24. Goodyear Eagle f1's are the best tyres money can buy for performance on the street, read customer reviews, not 1 person will say anything bad
