Tried several times in the last hour to post in parts wanted... I hit submit and get this error: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 35 bytes) in /home/mkivsupra/htdocs/vbb/includes/functions_search.php on line 197 Maybe the server needs a reboot

I can't post in Parts Wanted. Memory allocation error in PHP... ... Hmm it seems this forum is OK ...

Yes please

Excellent! I 'splash'ed out on a Rapfix II to bring it to the same distance as stock. Looks and feels like a lovely piece of engineering.

Just picked up a short boss kit here in .jp land. Can you take a look to see if it looks like it will fit? It's made by Works Bell and I'm gonna be using it with a Momo wheel. Looks good to me as it has loads of clearance inside the plastic bit for any wires etc... but I've never actually seen a Supra in the flesh with it's wheel off! Comments?

Cheers would be much appreciated if you could do that. Honestly can't picture it myself!

Any chance you can check this for me - turn on this ignition without starting the engine, and see if the airbag light is on or off... then I should be able to get the right one

That cool, cheers, have no doubt that would work but I want to buy one out here while I still can I am doing some research and I think it's all down to Mechanical SRS vs Electric SRS !! Pretty sure it would be Electric eh?

Guys, Just come back from an auto shop here, bought a nice momo wheel but need a boss kit. We managed to get it down to 2 choices, R534 or 535 (Airbag but no cruise) in the attached chart. But which one? The assistant said that I need to check "if the airbag light stays on when the ignition is on but the engine isn't running" to know for sure. Since I can't do that - does anyone here know?

I have asked this before as I'm in the same position... some people said it should be OK, but most said it's not a good idea, mainly due to the higher temps that would be reached. For me the *only* advantage in having the first cat in is that it's limiting the noise. I will run it without, and see what happens. Looking forward to other's comments though!

I guess it may be different from car to car but my fuel cut always happened when I strayed over 1.0 bar for a few seconds. It's when the ECU sees a certain voltage from the MAP sensor, so if it's slightly out then you'll get fuel cut at a slightly different point. You're correct about the fuel pump and gauges not being *required* for BPU, but it's all about mitigating the risk. You ran 1.2 bar, and said all was fine, but who's to say you weren't running dangerously lean and if you'd kept going another few seconds you could have damaged the engine? Perhaps someone more knowledgeable will correct me if I'm talking crap, but I think that's the main reason most people do BPU in a certain way. Also - the best FCD (Thor/TRL, secondhand £40) allows you to set the new fuel cut threshold at another level, say 1.3 bar so if something does go wrong you'll still get fuel cut.

Well, that's good for you. I probably *could* do the same, but until I get my gauges installed I'd be running blind. Once I do, I can keep an eye on things, and if my EGTs stay at a sensible level with the first cat still in, then great

Hmm OK - I responded but I think you're just using the first cat as a RR, you still need the rest of formula for BPU

If you limit the boost with the first cat and then up it to 1.1 or whatever, you'll still get fuel cut, if the ECU sees more than 1 bar, you'll get it. How do you *know* your current fuel system can support more than the stock amount of boost? Do you have an air/fuel mix gauge or anything like that? I think just upping the boost without uprated fuel pump is a little dangerous... fuel pump is only £80 and can be fitted yourself...

Mine's the same but without the muffler. I guess I could try with the full de-cat. Out of interest why did you put the 1st cat back in again? You do need to de-cat for full BPU else you're EGTs will get too high, this is what I've heard...

Hi Guys Right, still in Japan but dying to get back to doing stuff with my Supe! As some of you know I have a full custom stainless steel exhaust system from the first cat, and it's pretty loud. To go BPU I would need to fully de-cat but it may end up being too loud. Would a high-flow first cat help me, or would high-flow still mean it's going to be too loud? And is such a thing made for the first cat section?

They're all wondering... "which one is my bloody car!"

Today, I have mainly been travelling sideways! One of the '86's tyres is now completely stripped of tread even though it was new this morning, and I am sore all over. Bucket seats aren't designed with 6'4 big built guys in mind! No doubt I'll have some pics and videos up later. Problem is I am dying to drive the Supra now! Strangely enough I would have seen more Supras around Swindon today than I have in my 4 days in Tokyo - they really aren't common at all over here, I think they are all being exported...

Yes it's absolutely insane, it's glued to the road. - and Nick's R34 is amazing too. Only got the one ride in that one, as everyone was in line for it! A great day though. Tomorrow - Drifting at Mobara Circuit! :D:D

Hi Guys Having a blast out here - was so jet lagged the first day, didn't get anything done, but the second day was amazing thanks to a few guys from gtr.co.uk: http://s178.photobucket.com/albums/w279/cheekysupra/Fuji%20Skylines/ Check the video out, quality is a bit bad but you get the idea. Some amazing scenery yesterday while we were out driving. The car I was filimg from is an AE86 ("hachi-roku") which is an old corolla thing - 1.6litre non-turbo engine, but you'd never ever believe it. Fully race built and kept up with the skylines all day (and outperformed them round the bends!) James

Feck me! That's not just an engine, that's an M&S engine...!

It's some guy called Tom and that's about all I know! Getting a lift with him to the meet point, then as for the driving I think I'm in a spare seat in a highly modified AE86, apparently it's going to be hairy...

It was an extremely satisfying job though. Silly thing is - the safe worked fine 2 days ago when I checked my passport was actually in there. What are the chances!? Will certainly be taking lots of photos. In 48 hours time I'll be waiting at my hotel to be picked up by a Supra, to go driving in the mountains of fuji....

Well evidently £39.99 buys you ten minutes worth of protection from a mad hammer wielding monkey man...
