ok to further explain my leave and to answer some of the questions or assumption here is one of the last posts by me, cause my membership will expire in 7 days: 1) I have paid when I was at billings in cash to Branners (seven girlfriends ago, so at least 5 years), I still have my membership card No. 339. Then when this board became a paying board (last year) someone paid for me and I heard through various channels this was a lifetime signup fee. Now I have to pay again. 2) I don't pay 10 quid, or whatever any fee, if in return I give people advice, tell you about developments and considerations etc.etc. The forum is made by the members contributing and is for sure NOT made or OWNED by the moderators or the people hosting this site. What is more important, people posting and answering questions or people paying money? 3) Hey but you haven't posted much last year. Yes, 100% correct. Why? Because I had to pay for my membership. As I said, I don't pay and give advice free of charge. If I contribute I expect return of investment. So if I pay, I don't help anyone. 4) Shut up you sold loads of your cast manifolds, you are a concealed trader. Not correct guys. I developed the cast manifold to get the whole supra community one step higher and to provide a product to the community. I haven't actively sold any manifold on the forums and I posted the whole development of the product because I assumed people liked it. A few manifolds were sold in the UK and that has all been done by Terry S, who is (or was) an official trader on the board. 5) Comon you have enough money, you make your own stroker kit you got the fastest skyline in the Netherlands. What do you care about 10 quid. As I said: A community should be free of any charge. The traders can pay for the hosting. The forum on my supra site is paid in full by the only trader as well (yes, that is myself). 6) We have enough benefits for members like group buys and insurance discounts. Well guys, remember I am in HOLLAND, AMSTERDAM. You know, skip death and go straight to paradise. Traders, discounts, insurance, group buys, it means *nothing* to me. I am here in Holland. I cannot use anything of it. 7) Bandwidth costs so much money these days, the forums burn the money. If this is the problem, I do have a server ready to host this site free of charge. If that is where the ten quid per member goes to, let's move everything to my server and give every single member their money back. The money paid by the traders will easily cover my server's costs. 8) No the money goes to other things, not only bandwidth. Ok, then please explain and show me (us) where to money is going. If I agree, ten quid is on the way. If I don't see any decent explanation, I am not going to pay.

I'm signing off again. My membership was paid last year by someone who did care I am posting here. I am not paying myself the membership fee as I am not going to pay to an organisation who doesn't give out any clarification on what happens with the money. Branners, we've met in past and I do know you are ok, but if someone asks a question it's often better to just reply than to close the thread and say we are all childs and must listen to the big daddy. A club is made by the members. If we pay, we must see what happens with the money. Anyways, this was not meant as a rant topic, it was just a general goodbye to anyone. Have fun.

Crank and block is fundamentally the same, the rest are replacement items when building an engine anyways. If you can rebuild an engine but don't know how to drill a hole for the turbo oil feed then better just don't start at all And oil squirters? Who cares.

I'm 30 feet under sea level.

in the AEM maps are not password protected. Also we always fine tune the map after a few weeks when you have found 'spots' that were not addressed during the tune. Anyways, your car will kick ass, for sure

Yups, it's the crazy dutch and the mad greek invading the UK. If we can do road dyno + chassis dyno that would be awesome!

a 2jz with a cast manifold and single turbo would even fit in an AE86 corolla!

It's *that* simple yes. If the aristo is a TT engine obviously.

throw it away and buy a decent cast manifold. Tubular stuff cracks.. in the end.

you can always LPG on vacuum and use petrol on boost. Not difficult with the AEM.

I used to own a heavily tuned 2jz powered mk3 supra. Currently I own a mk1 supra (stock), mk2 supra (dragrace setup, GT42 + supercharger on a 2jz) and a mk3 (rather stock). Yups, correct it's a R334 (33 with 34 nose) and a widebody kit on it This car is an R33.

yeah guys. have to admit. I bought a Skyline and sold my mk3 supra. Obviously I still have more supras (three) than skylines. Here are some pics of today: http://www.supras.nl/phpBB2/attachments/arnie0_558.jpg http://www.supras.nl/phpBB2/attachments/arnie2_863.jpg http://www.supras.nl/phpBB2/attachments/arnie03_662.jpg

I got his phone number somewhere, but better give me yours and I'll forward it to him.

I went to the dark side guys. I bought an R33 GTR and sold my mk3 supra (the 2jz swapped one)... but.... I got a mk2 Celica Supra now in which I am building a 2jz-gte. The R33 GTR is mildly tuned with a T88 and some 720cc shower thingies. I'm installing an AEM this weekend and together with my evil twin brother (Dimitri) we're gonna rape the sh!t out of it this weekend...

Wow. We sell 2,50 euro the liter.

We will put it on the dyno at highboost pretty soon!

Finally had some chance to dyno Flavio's car. Unfortunately only on pump gas. The methanol system needs priming to get the car into high boost. Here is some dyno movie. Always cool. This is the first car we put the manifold on: Flavio on the dyno

Finished an engine with this kit the other day. Here are some pictures. Ken, check my 2jz-gte girdle, you'll like it! Here is the crank in the engine: http://www.supras.nl/phpBB2/attachments/kappengemonteerd_663.jpg I flattened out the main caps and used spacer rings and longer main studs: http://www.supras.nl/phpBB2/attachments/dscf0003_101.jpg Here is the girdle mounted in the engine: http://www.supras.nl/phpBB2/attachments/dscf0001_313.jpg Perfect fit: http://www.supras.nl/phpBB2/attachments/dscf0006_162.jpg

Yeps, it's a Supra, but no one will recognize it I chose this platform because here in Holland you are not really allowed to change the number of cylinders in a car. And the Celica Supra is a 6 banger from factory (2.8 liter N/A). Continued welding in the rollcage. Also removed the spare wheel carrier. Here we will place the race fuel cell. http://www.supras.nl/phpBB2/attachments/imgp1310_373.jpg http://www.supras.nl/phpBB2/attachments/imgp1312_280.jpg http://www.supras.nl/phpBB2/attachments/imgp1304_532.jpg http://www.supras.nl/phpBB2/attachments/imgp1297_668.jpg

I just want something different. I've driven sooo many supras, especially mark IV's. As I said to others: The butcher doesn't eat meat every day either! I sold my mk3 2jz single in favor of a nice R33 skyline. Gives me a lot more time to work on my mk2 project supra which has the 2jz with the TH-350. The skyline doesn't need any work at all, I bought it 'complete'

Hope to be able to compete in this years ten of the best. I finally got some time to work on this car because I sold my mk3 (also with a 2jz). I turned to the dark side guys (bought a skyline, don't tell anyone!)

Continuing building the car, after some time doing nothing and waiting for parts, money, time and above freezing temperatures Today we mounted the rollcage. It's not done yet but here are some photo impressions: http://www.supras.nl/phpBB2/attachments/imgp1281_119.jpg http://www.supras.nl/phpBB2/attachments/imgp1283_180.jpg http://www.supras.nl/phpBB2/attachments/imgp1286_180.jpg http://www.supras.nl/phpBB2/attachments/imgp1287_195.jpg http://www.supras.nl/phpBB2/attachments/imgp1290_183.jpg

Here is how we do the measuring
