  1. I've double checked and I think its a rear hub. It looks like it has the hole where the driveshaft would go : ( Sorry I can't help Andy
  2. I have a friend who has just started up a workshop in Strood, Kent. He has specialized in maintaining most jap high performance cars, including Supras obviously. He does specialise in the Nissan sports cars, but compared to 300ZX's and GTR's, Supras are a doddle to work on He recently started up his own workshop, which is based in Strood, Kent (15 mins from M25, junction 2). I can't sing his praises highly enough. Engine work, upgrades, electrics. You name it, he's the man. At the moment he hasn't got a back log of work because he's only just started the new workshop, so nows the time to give him a shout. His name is Darren Higbee. The phone number is 01634 296967 The address is 151-157 High Street, Strood, Kent. ME2 4TH. Thanks Andy
  3. I think I have one if you have no luck elsewhere. Would be £50. Needs to be collected though Thanks Andy
  4. I have one side from a low milage mkiv na. Has some suspension bits still attached. Its £45 if you're interested Thanks Andy
  5. Well if anyone wants a HKS induction kit for an import TT then you can have my one for £60. Filter has done 2000 miles. I guessed it was something to do with the AFM Thanks for your help anyway Andy
  6. I have just bought a second hand HKS induction kit (with the green filter). I can't work out how to fit it. It doesn't look like it fits properly. Is there more than one type for the TT mkiv supra ? I have a 94 UK TT auto. Do all mkiv's have AFM's ? If anyone has a photo or a link to a photo of an engine bay with this induction kit in it then that would be great Thanks Andy
  7. I'm looking to buy some locking wheel nuts. I've noticed that some locking wheel nuts claim to fit "All Toyotas". So I am assuming that all Toyotas have the same thread size ????? Thanks Andy
  8. Thanks for the info Anyone have a picture showing where it would be installed ??? Thanks Andy
  9. Can I just get any of them off ebay, or is there a certain type or "size" I need to get.?? Thanks Andy
  10. I have an absolutely standard UK TT. I want just a "bit" more power and have been told a bleed valve is the easiest (and cheapest) way to do it. Can anyone recommend a supplier ?? Also, any advice appreciated. Thanks Andy
  11. I had exactly the same problem last week. Tried everything, but nothing worked UNTIL I left the battery disconnected for a few minutes rather than a few seconds. Then I put the key in and out of the ignition a few times, then pressed the alarm button and then everything went back to normal. Basically if you keep playing around with it I think eventually it will kick back into life. Also, apparently if you hold down the two buttons on the alarm keyfob for 10 seconds it re-synchronizes itself to the alarm. If all else fails you can send the alarm box and key back to Scorpion where they will reprogram it. Costs about £30. Thanks Andy
  12. I finally got my Supra running again today, although I'm not sure how. I put a new battery in the key fob. Still nothing. Disconnected earth leads for a minute connected it up again still nothing. Turned key in ingnition twice, then the keyfob started working again and bobs your uncle. Thanks to everyone who helped. After reading loads of info on the alarm and talking to people on here I think everyone should make a special note not to let their battery ever go flat (if you have the standard UK alarm). thanks Andy
  13. Whats a "dome" fuse ?? Thanks Andy
  14. I have an L reg UK Supra. I havn't driven it for a few weeks and the battery went flat. I charged battery up, but the alarm LED on the dash stays on and my remote key fob buttons don't work anymore. I've read info on how to synchronize the fob to the ecu, but then it gets even more interesting. The unit behind the passenger headlight appears to have been already disconnected. The electrical plug has been unplugged. I can only assume its been like that since I bought the car a few months ago. If I plug it back in the siren in that unit starts to go off. But theres another siren (much quieter) that also goes off around the cabin area. So the alarm immobilizer has been working perfectly OK up until now, even with the connector (near the castle key) disconnected.???????? So now I'm really confused. Even if you can't help me sort out the problem, could you at least shed some light on whats going on ?? Thanks in advance Andy

    Oil ??

    OK, thanks again for the info Is there any documentation on how to fit a bleeder valve ? Thanks Andy

    Oil ??

    I apologise if this question has been asked a thousand times before, but I'm new to the mkiv scene........ I have a 1995 UK spec twin turbo auto mkiv supra. What is the best make of oil to use and what grade should it be ??? I'm very happy with the car and its absolutely standard. I'd like to get another 30-50 BHP of of her, but don't really want to go for an aftermarket exhaust, as I do a lot of motorway driving and would like to keep it quiet. What are the easiest ways to get 30-50BHP increase ?? Would a decat pipe and induction kit have much effect if I leave the rest of the exhaust as it is ? Any help much appreciated. Thanks Andy
  18. Thanks for the advice, I'll test it out tomorrow. I only live 5 mins from snetteton race circuit. Perhaps I should pop down there tomorrow, see if the light still flashes at 170 Thanks andy
  19. Hi I bought my first mkiv Supra today. An L reg UK TT. What a great car !!! I've had loads of 300ZX's, but the Supra feels far more modern in the ride, slightly quicker and looks great !! The only thing I noticed was the green light was flashing next to the active spoiler button (does this mean its not working ?) and the big red exclamation mark was lit up. Does the exclamation mark relate to the active spoiler error ?? Also, looks like someone has entered the radio code incorrectly 10 times, locking me out (it says "help"). The manual says call a Toyota dealer. Is this right and does anyone know what they'll charge me to "unlock" it. Any advice greatfully received Thanks AndyZ

    hub nuts

    It looks roughly 32mm. Can anyone confirm ?? (thanks dude)
  21. AndyZ

    hub nuts

    No, I do mean the hub nut (not the wheel nut). It holds the hub on the car, and is dead centre in the wheel hub. You have to take it off to change the driveshafts, or half shafts as some people call them. Anyone know what size it is, pleeeaase !! I know its more than 27mm and less than 36mm, but thats all I know ???????? Thanks Andy

    hub nuts

    Could anyone tell me what size the hub nut is on the front and rear ?? Help much appreciated. thanks andyz
  23. Thanks very much for your help. I'll let you know how my "restoration" goes when it arrives from Japan. I was considering buying another damaged one and using the bits from that to fix the original one, hence the "compatibilty" question. Thanks Andy
  24. Hi I'm new to the forum and have my new non turbo manual Supra arriving in a couple of weeks. It has some accident damage so I'll need some body panels to get it looking nice again. Can any one tell me what differences there are at the front of the car between a twin turbo and non turbo. Specifically bumpers, radiators, oil coolers and anything else that is at the front. Thanks Andy
