  1. You probably know Dave Walsh ,Damien, he's a whore for the racing in Mondello ; he just said it to me yesterday, because he was talking about Tom Ford's Supra that won time attack in 08 and said he has a dry sump setup on her, mentioned to me it would be a good thing to get one on mine if I plan on keeping it I do not see the point myself so taught I would just ask here incase I was missig something I was asking him who he would recommend to work on the car, car is down with my mechanic a month now and the front suspension is only installed , I am waiting a year for him to rebuild the diff , getting fairly fed up, he works out of Daves place and Dave has to put a subframe and engine back in the Volvo so thats on the ramp till next week, mine wont get touched till at least then to do the rear subframe bushes on mine as you will need a ramp to do it Dave recommended Ian Byrne in CarTork , talking to Dave he sounds like he knows his stuff, spent his time in Japan with Toyota and Nissan, specialist in the 300ZX , had a Supra back when they first came out and drives a SW20 MR2 in rally cross A nice guy to boot! Sounds like the Irish Chris Wilson
  2. Was advised today to put a dry sump in the car if I am going to keep it What is the purpose or advantage of a dry sump?
  3. Must be a mistake on the website OsGiken say use OsGiken bolts or mod the JZA70 bolts; I read the bolts required are shorter than OEM http://www.osgiken.net/upload/d42.pdf
  4. Thanks , taught it was the TR2CD, was thinking of getting the Grand touring or Street master it is called State side, its rated 700 versus 600hp and you get the movement alteration kit with it Read you need to use OEM Nissan Flywheel Bolts, - JZA80: 7x Nissan OEM Flywheel Bolts (P/N 12315-42L11) are required http://www.rhdjapan.com/os-giken-street-master-clutch-kit-twin-metal-hard-with-converter-kit.html
  5. Awesome sauce What Giken Clutch is that? Let me know how the pedal is
  6. -10 I think is the recommended AN fitting, -12 for crazy power 1000+ I would just get the Sard unit, http://www.rhdjapan.com/sard-oil-catch-can-tank-0-6-liter-toyota.html I have the OCD works billet setup and -10 AN fittings
  7. Duffy from Cavan, has the TRD bodykit but think he was putting on a Rocket Bunny kit
  8. I have the OEM rubber washers , really just looking for the SS fastners Does anybody know length or pitch of the fasteners; might even get them in titanium
  9. Hey Will these do for the Valve covers? anybody recommend a place to get them http://www.ebay.ie/itm/251870299332?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

You dont need to wire in a resistor , just swap out the relay in the drivers footwell , Plug and play , takes 2 mins http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-3-Pin-LED-Flasher-Electronic-Relay-Fix-Flasher-Blinker-Turn-Signal-Indicator/390861730350?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140107083358%26meid%3D03d179396f3541eb918f42099aeb5653%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D10%26sd%3D140647305973
  12. Here's what got me onto Supra's http://www.smartplus.hk/eBay/Anson/Supra_TRD1.jpg Here's what I wanted http://image.modified.com/f/30433761/modp_0904_12_o+new_castrol_syntec_top_car_challenge_contest+toyota_supra.jpg Heres the one I nearly bought , I didnt have a clue about Supra's ; it was a T51R JSPEC brakes though !! This car just didnt feel right, no unique selling point, exterior just put me off http://jm-imports.co.uk/index.php/1996-toyota-supra-rz-t51r-6-speed-manual/ Another on I was looking at , the Nos and the two ECU's put me off it; just didn't feel right http://jm-imports.co.uk/index.php/1996-toyota-supra-twin-turbo-nos-equipped-6-speed-manual/
  13. I think this is the same thing I ask a good few years back, it turned out to be the Throttle body if I remember , resets itself , ticking sound a few times ; I am nearly sure it was on ignition off
  14. Great to see another Supra down South Join in the Supra the Group, we are setting up a Galway run hopefully this Summer, will throw it up here too in the Ireland Section; I dont think anybody is left down Mayo direction with a Supra https://www.facebook.com/groups/SupraSkyline/
  15. Heard a few stories about Paul Hilliard
  16. Hi http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/content.php?75-Suspension-Axle I am looking through the repair manual here , but it refs the small case diff ; what is the torque for the Pinion nut? Its a 2jzgte , 12 bolt 220mm pin and ring gear (Large case diff) with a Carbonetic LSD SA75 Pinion Gear Backlash: 0.05 – 0.20 mm (0.0020 – 0.0079 in.)

  17. I would get the OEM units, quality is superior to the Silicon alternatives The OEM pipes did not look too bad after 21 years on my car
  18. Thanks, I suppose it will depend on price point plus fitting versus me getting the HKS Turboless Kit from Japan For what I need 3" DP is fine
  19. Not trying to be smart but how is it more up to date, what is different?
  20. I was not expecting that , I was expecting 4 cam shafts not a camshaft with twice the lobes I reckon that puts a smile on your face and a lot of something in your trousers
