What is the process to reomve the switch? do you need to remove the power steering pump?

It's the only place on the car with oil residue, and again after a clean, behind the power steering pump and below the intake runners, all residue is on the oil pressure plug, below and side of the block I cleaned her all down last night, drove her to storage, 30 min drive but at a quick glance looked dry, it's an awkward place to visually inspect from top down Will take a look again in April, I will order a new switch It's the only thing there that can cause it The oil pan is not pressurised so, worse case is a weep but I suspect its oil from above Thanks for that! It is annoying me now, I want to fix it lol My motor tax is up on Monday, I am not paying another 400..for 3 months or for tow trucks, allegedly snowing the weekend too

She never used oil previous I notice a big increase in oil consumption using a 10w40 these days versus 10w60, after putting in the 264 cams Will try some lucas oil stabiliser too That's my biggest fear Greg, getting her rebuilt and you are worse or no better off Breaking in the engine can make a big difference, was just talking to one of the guys here, common to a break in, use mineral oil for the initial break in as we all know But he was told, take it to a track, run up to 4k for 20 mins, up to 5k for 20 mins, up to 6k for 20 mins, drop the oil, new good oil, drive her as normal 1k on the road, majority will probably be at a constant rpm, prone to polishing the bores, causing oil consumption, you need the piston to be constantly changing rpm, difficult to achieve on the road with start, stopping I would like to use an engine dyno myself to break it in but hard to come by I guess going single is out the window

Hey Car has about 172k km mileage, bpu Since I got the 264 cams installed, new oil pump,new water pump, she is using roughly 1 litre of oil every few hundred km before she used no oil There are no signs of blue smoke, she pulls like a train, breather has usual browny crap, I checked it three times over the summer, very little, 2 mm each time No consistent oil ón the drive Valve stem seals are done Rear seal was done about 10 years ago No smoke on start up or under acceleration Valve covers no oil in the spark plug well or down the side of the block, seals are relatively new Mot last weekend, emissions are very low Oil filter all secure, no oil residue Compression and leak down test showed a healthy engine Only oil residue I can see is below the intake runners behind the power steering pump and on the oil pan, rear cross member All I can think of is the oil pressure switch, but to me the consumption of 1 litre is very high even if the pressures switch is leaking To also note, when I put in 10w40 fuchs, after the cam install, she made a very tappet noise, I presume disturbing the springs may of caused an issue or weak spring, if I use 10w50 the noise goes Any ideas?

Thanks To get the exhaust housing done, it's a complete strip of the tubbie? I have a Dei blanket but would like to zircotec it

Hey Any cheaper alternative to zircotec?

Osgiken and Tilton hydraulic release bearing

Do anybody know the part number for the plastic clips that fasten the End caps to the TRD spolier? as per this thread http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?144888-TRD-Spoiler-end-caps/page2

In terms of downpipe, manifold heat control Is Zircotec, wrapping, both or leave as is, have any implications?

Thanks Mike

Hey I am going to install my single kit myself , just want to create a thread for Questions as I go First Q , how do you wire in the Boost Solenoid (MAC) , I read you run off the first VSV (Blue Plug)? Twin Gate Plumbing Correct?

Never did it to my car in the 12 years I owned it, I did see them before on the road doing a hard stop but never locking up the rear

[emoji23] Yep

My Lsd crown and pinion bearing went, so prefer they don't use the rollers It's expensive to fix

Hey Got the NCT today (MOT here) , They cannot put the car on the rollers to test the handbrake as she has an LSD Decelerometer Test 4. If the vehicle is of a type which cannot be tested on the roller brake tester, it should be subject to a decelerometer test as follows: • With the vehicle on a reasonably level road, place the decelerometer on the floor of the vehicle. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and set it in the zero position. • Drive the vehicle at a speed of approximately 32km/h (20mph). Apply the parking brake and note the reading on the decelerometer. What happened To test the handbrake, he took the car to the small confined carpark and locked the rear via the handbrake, skidded her down the wet concrete decline between customer cars for 5 metres! easily cause damage and stretch the handbrake cable I was livid!

Found more info Introduced in 1995 in the JGTC class in the GT500 class, the Toyota Supra JZA80 from the race was equipped with the 4-cylinder supercharged 2090 cm3 Toyota 4T-GTE.^Equipped with a KKK / K27 turbine, this engine was equipped with electronic injection and double spark ignition.^The power generated could vary from 360 to 500 horsepower.^Obviously the Supra was equipped with the 4T-GTE in a more thrust configuration, not to lose competitiveness with the fearsome Nissan Skyline GT-R.^Subsequently, the 3SG engine is mounted, similar to that of the Toyota Corolla WRC and specially developed by Toyota for the IMSA championship in collaboration with Yamaha. This engine, of 1998 cm3 developed a power output far superior to that of the Corolla, attesting, like its predecessor, on 490 horsepower.^The decision to use an engine with reduced cubic capacity compared to the original engine (the powerful, but heavy 2JZ-GTE of 2997 cm3) involved a not inconsiderable advantage especially when inserting a curve, given the lower weight at the front end.^On the other hand, the engine lacked in torque, a defect filled from the early years of the new millennium with the adoption of a V8 engine, the Toyota 3UZ-FE, also mounted on the Lexus SC430, which in the race version exceeded 500 horsepower power.^This unit will be used on the Supra until 2006, when it will be replaced by the Lexus SC430.^ In terms of suspension, both the front and rear Toyota adopted the independent suspension layout.^The power was discharged to the rear wheels via a sequential 6-speed Hewland transmission.^The aerodynamics were designed for sports use, thanks to the gigantic (more than the series that looked like a football goal) rear wing, the rear extractor and the numerous front aerodynamic appendages, which were used to improve the downforce at high speeds. In 1997, the Supra of the TOM'S team definitely prevailed on the Japanese motoring scene, beating rivals like the aforementioned Nissan Skyline GT-R, Honda NSX and even the Lamborghini Diablo and Porsche GT1.^That year the pilots of the winning team were Michael Krumm and Pedro de La Rosa.^In the second race of that year, held at the Fuji Speedway, Krumm sets the fastest time, and at the end of the race the first five places in the standings were all of pilots who were driving Toyota Supra!^Before the final race, held on the Sugo circuit, the TOM'S team had obtained two victories and a second place, and needed a victory to remove any doubt.^At the end of the race, Krumm and Masahiko Kageyama are with the same number of points, but thanks to the higher number of placings obtained, the final victory goes to Krumm. To many, however, the Supra JGTC is known especially thanks to the Gran Turismo series for Playstation, in which it was one of the best performing cars of the game, along with other JGTC cars in the GT500 category with different specifications (power of 611 horsepower in front of a weight of 1180 kg) Here is a video dating back to 2003 that resumed the great clash between the Supra by Erik Comas and the Supra by Juichi Wakisaka in Sugo (note the enthusiasm of the Japanese commentators!)

https://wikivisually.com/wiki/Toyota_Supra_in_motorsport JGTC/Super GT Since first appearing in 1995, Toyota has raced the JZA80 Supra as a GT500 race car in the JGTC series. Beginning with a four-cylinder 2.1-liter turbocharged 4T-GTE mounted onto a stock bodyshell with wide arch body kit and spoiler.[18] Over the years, as demands for expensive GT1 race specials became common, the JGTC regulation drifted away from FIA rules, as a result, the Supra has progressively underwent numerous changes over the years,[19] most noticeable, the numerous body changes and by the late 1990s, the Supra used a developed version of the 3SG,[20] which was developed from the IMSA engine and similar to the 3SGTE engine found in the Toyota Corolla WRC car.[21] By the early 2000s, for the benefit of torque, the Supra moved on to 3UZ-FE V8 engine. Altogether, the Supra has taken the title four times in 1997, 2001, 2002 and 2005. Despite being out of production since 2002, factory teams continued to use JZA80 Supras with continued successes. The car's swansong competitive year was in 2006, when it was used by Toyota Team Tsuchiya and Toyota Team SARD,[22] since then, Toyota has since been represented in GT500 by its luxury brand Lexus and its line of GT cars, the SC430, RC-F, and most recently, the LC500 In 2000, the Falken team entered the 24 Hours Nürburgring race with the 2-litre turbo version. Modified for the race around the clock the car made it up to the 6th place when an accident ended its race in the early morning.[23] Le Mans The JGTC specification Supra made its Le Mans debut in 1995 by the factory backed SARD team which it finished 14th, the team returned again for the following year which they did not finish.

yep, close to 50/50 lighter too

Good write up in the Le Mans Supra http://www.speedhunters.com/2009/02/retrospective_gt_gt_toyota_supra_gt_lm_at_le_mans/

Only 2, I presume the type R was the road version of the GT race car Sard was heavily involved , they ran the team when it was the white and red livery

Info is on here , but webiste did have more when I checked a few years ago http://www.toyota-ttc.co.jp/history/trd.html **Google Translate Debuted in the 4th round of the All Japan GT Championship held at Sportsland SUGO. He won the second prize in qualifying and declared the first game. Announced "TRD 3000 GT" equipped with the same aero as the GT 500 machine based on SUPRA 1995 All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship 1997 All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship

Nope, Toms replica with the TRD Type A spoiler , looks like top secret bumper , badly copied TRD wings
