Anyone uses this? if so, how do you find it? looking to change from my HKS ssqv which seems to be leaking.

Thanks ... Re. the 19" diameter ... I agree with you; but 19s just make the car look so much more appealing ... which gives better handling between 19" and 18" ? What offset would be perfect?

Guys, I have a 98 J-spec TT and currently looking for a set of wheels for it; came across those below on e-bay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/19-STAGGERED-WHEEL-G35-300ZX-350Z-GS300-gs430-SUPRA-RIM_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ43959QQihZ004QQitemZ140112042047QQrdZ1 Grateful if anyone could let me know whether they would fit. I think the broader question is, what specs (e.g. offset, width) should I be looking for in my search for rims? Thanks DLG

By the way, what sort of impact does this have on the car's performance? ... it feels WAYYY more slugish to me

Would like to doubt if for my own peace of mind ... But can't remember touching it anywhere ... cherish my supra too much not to remember.... the mechanic suggested that it may have been something flying up and hitting it whilst I was running the car. I would've posted some shots of it ... but its towards the inside of the cannister ... near to where it joins to the cat back.

I have absolutely no clue .... what kills me even more is the size of it ... its like 1.5" in diameter

Busted a hole in my blitz nur spec muffler. Simplest thing would be to replace it with the same thing, but I would like something which sounds a lil more agressive... not loud ... just more raw Any thoughts?

Getting bilstein shocks with HKS springs combo of a mate with a soarer at a steal

how about Aftermarket Soarer Strut and springs on an MKIV?

Is it true that strust and springs can be interchanged between the supras and soarers?

He also said something about putting a stronger spring on the wastegate to hold it under the extra boost.

is there a vast difference in power between 1.2 and 1.6 bar? ... read that the turbos feel like they are out of breath above 1.2

Guys, I'm trying to get at least a write up from this guy in the US who I spoke to ... he was actually telling me that he has been doing 23 PSI on stock Jap turbos for about a yr now .... I did ask whether he was certain that they weren't US spec ones ... and he re-iterated ... no.. the ceramic bladed Japanese spec ones. Told him that all over the internet, I read articles indicating that running these turbos above 18 PSI could cause the compressor wheel to break ... he told me that the problem is those cars aren't properly tuned .... in most instances they are running leaning ... and the excess heat is what causes failure of the turbos. Would like to know your views on this.... in the meantime, I'll do my best to get something more detailed on his setup

Wow ... thanks ... really appreciate it

Can anyone please give an idea of what bends and straight pipes I need to purchase? Thanks
