  1. No Probs, I'll drop him a PM. Cheers Lui
  2. Pity I didn't measure them when I installed them (but i'm not that familiar with braking physics). Hiten, do you have those ones you bought yet for measuring?
  3. They have been running 1.1 -1.2 bar boost. He's using j-spec heat shield. Roughly 60-70k miles. No smoke or anything like that. He also has the 256 intake going. Cams done 7000 miles. Offers? Willing to sell cams separately from turbo setup (includes all sequential pipework, solenoids etc, excludes downpipe). So to sum up: turbos and pipes etc £ offers Cam 264 exhaust: £ offers Cam 256 exhaust: £ offers
  4. I'm not sure... will ask him in the morning...
  5. Hi all I'm testing the water for prices on 2 x UK turbos in good nick, all the bits required to add to supra (manifold pipes etc), and ALL polished/powder coated and HKS blue piping (see pics). This is for a mate who hasn't got internet access, and is upgrading to 2 big Apexi jobbies. Possibly also with HKS 264 Exhaust cam. cheers Mark
  6. Well, basically I know someone who is upgrading and he's selling the entire lot required (including fitting). (See pic), which is why I was considering it. Thanks for all the answers, I guess i'll let them slide by. Should I get the 264 exhaust cam? Would it give me any benefit with my setup?
  7. Right, I've just noticed this thread, and seeing as I have first hand experience, I thought i'd add my views. I had standard j-spec brakes, disks and pads. I've just been down to do some measurements, although my setup is different and doesn't require any spacers, as I used UK Spec disks (although they're grooved DBA's), not the evo disks. I used Evo pads (red stuff) and Evo8 calipers. See attached pics for rough measurements (excuse the brake dust ) The weight difference in the calipers was quite large. Using a kitchen scale (when fitting) I measured the J-spec calipers at 2.8kg's, while the Brembo's never even broke the 1kg mark (see pic). I didn't weight the disks. The measurements are: 5.5cm from disk surface to outside of caliper 12.5cm from centre of hub to widest part of caliper (roughly the centre) Excuse the pic quality - mobile phone All I can say is the difference is truly amazing from j-spec to Brembo. I can't comment on the UK brakes as I've never tried them. Cheers Mark
  8. Thanks, Also, while I'm here, does an HKS 264 exhaust cam from a normal TT-supra fit into the VVTI?
  9. Hi guys Anybody know if I can use the manifold, piping and turbos from the UK spec car on my 98 VVTI? Cheers Mark
