My Friend has an V-Spec II NUR Ztune kitted T04Z and HKS V -Cam Pro R34 , R32 GTR with HKS V -Cam Pro R33 GTR He likes Skylines! My other friend has an R33 GTS-T, a third friend has an R33 GTR Vspec Compared to the Supra, as stunning as the cars are ; what lets them down is the build quality, the quality of metal used is not the best and prone to rust, out of my three friends they all had their engines rebuilt and every second month something goes, all friends have various issues with the cars today, suspension to Cam sensors, fuel pumps etc The R34 Vspec II Nur TO4Z was has gone through 4 or 5 blocks now I have lost count I have the Supra over 7 years and only two things have gone; Crown and pinion Bearing in the diff casing and an after market Radiator leak last month, she is on 150,000 KM. A Skyline just seems to be one issue after another, I have yet to come across anybody in Ireland who has not had their Skyline rebuilt since it was imported, unless it is just a trailer queen I would like to own an R32 one day, you need to have deep pockets! I was fairly disappointed in the R34 and its 700hp, my BPU Supra gives you more of a thump in the back ; the R34 gets there faster but not as brutal. She just seems to glide up to speed, very refined

thanks guys, just out of curiosity; if you buy the whole arm do you also get the Camber, caster adjusters? or just the arm and the balljoint , you re-use you camber.caster adjusters

Hey Do you have to buy the whole front lower arm to replace the Camber Adjuster ?

I think alot of it is propaganda by the guys selling them, just trying to filter out what parts just lighten your wallet Some of the jargon, would lead you to believe you will end up sitting in the middle of the road playing with pieces of your engine like lego Only if I bought that 90 dollar part LOL - - - Updated - - - Thanks

My list so far TTC mode-- Essentials 1) Aftermarket ecu and mapping is an essential to get the benefit What I need confirmation on is: 1) injectors , Jepecs need uprating 2) Fuel pulsation bypass to get max flow in the stock fuel system 3) 255l Walbro sufficent depending on if upgraded injectors are required Nice to Have but not-essential 1) Cams

Just trying to gauge essential versus Nice to have; I presume a Fuel pulsation bypass is also a requirement

Have the flu coming on , yeah true twin conversion I am nearly sure you need larger injectors running the turbos in Parallel as the Jspecs are maxed out on 100% Duty cycle. Single turbo? I was asking about implications of having bigger injectors than what is required, for future proofing. I used the GTX35r as an indication for my power needs long term; makes better financial sense to buy an injector to suit my long term goals, 650cc injector may suit TTC mode but might be on its limit with a GTX35r, but a 850cc injector will suit both without any implications

What is need for TTC? 650 injectors Cams Standalone ECU Walbro 255L Fuel pump suffice or higher flow rate? Stock Airbox and Panel Filter The next stage is a single conversion Is it problematic to have too large of an injector, for future proofing: Something along the lines of a GTX35R

In for updates

Hey I want to get a decent tyre , I was looking at the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 R19 96 Y MFS but they dont have an re-enforced tyre wall. XL Tyre code Should this be an issue, should I go for an XL tyre?

Hey Just did a quck tyre calc and for 19 tyres 275 and 285 widths , a 30 profile is the closest to the rolling radius. I currently have a 275 35 profile on there, what are the adverse affects of the rolling radius being out of whack? I know the speedo is not as accurate, is handling affected? My car is low and with a 30 Profile I presume it will be that little bit lower?

Cool , thanks ; hopefully the new valves will do the trick

On the reverse side, I just bought a Koyo Rad off Titanmotorsports ; because it is getting shipped outside the US, why do we still need to pay full retail as though we walked in off the street; should a non-US resident not get a vat and tax rebate? I end up paying US VAT & duties plus EU VAT and Customs

At this stage you would think you could get something that runs via your smart phone

thanks! I never looked into these before because they all where valve type units ; band type is what I need!

I use the same Texaco garage, 5 min drive away; it has the digital unit you set the pressure etc. I definitely can feel the tyres are Low , she normally always shows roughly 28 psi and if I leave it longer (if I was on holidays for example) she can go as low as 25/26psi mark. Some tyres are worse than others but it is a consistent test,it is like this about 1.5 years now; just my usual routine If I want to drive her, straight to the garage first for a pressure top up; pain in the ass so I bit the bullet and got all new valve stems on route ( I hope this fixes it!)

Volk GTC, 2 piece rim I never took them apart or had them apart, I bought them new from Volk. Still as per factory assemble My plan is New Valve stems (VOLK authentic from a Volk authorised dealer) New Tyres If this doesnt work it is the Rim leaking is the next question? What time period should you see a pressure drop over, check pressures monthly?

Thank you Sir, straight to the point I like! One of my friends siad if they are single pot / twin pot it can be either a sticky caliper or the sliders; I never hear of sliders causing it Whats the best way to unstick a sticky caliper

Hey I have some Rays wheels , I only use the Supra the weekend so she sits up for about 5-6 days at a time; I need to top up the pressure on each tyre weekly, on average the Tyre pressures generally drop 3-4 psi all round. I presume this is not normal, I have just ordered some new rays valve stem's to re-valve the wheels. Anything else I can check. which may be causing it?

Hey Just noticed the weekend one of the brake pads on the nearside is gone but the offside has plenty of meat on it. What would cause this, sticky caliper?

Did anybody do this mod yet? Was thinking it may lighten up my clutch pedal M/C from a FZJ75 / FZJ80 Cruiser had the same flange and a reservoir which could be swapped for the JZA80 one http://www.toymods.org.au/forums/tech-conversions/78805-how-make-3-4-jza80-clutch-master-cylinder.html

Don't like the look of them, I think the Braided black weave looks much better A lot of OEM manufactures like Audi use them

Was thinking of getting some braided Vacuum hose to tidy up the engine bay , I think the silicon hoses look tacky Anybody any idea who sells them? I was looking on , but the ID's I think are too big http://www.viperperformance.co.uk/productsearch.php?xscId=9863

Anybody have the whole Mkiv for a Tshirt Design?
