Interesting. Makes sense though. Guess my mind doesn't work like that. Which is a good thing

I guess the concern is not all parts are usually brand new. Thus hiding wear. But like you say. Restored classics not an issue if its all brand spankers

Mines only 600 and its too loud. Fitting a diverted piece and baffle/cat to mine. Friggin noise stops me wanting to drive anyway late at night. RealStreet recently showed a twin box 5" setup and apparently drives smooth nothing too loud.

Not looked into them no. Thanks for learning me 20mm doesn't seem much. I guess it's a chunk being outer diameter. Thought it was bigger to be fair.

Even with the upgrades. Gr1000 is obviously the dream really. I guess the 1.5way uses the same crown pinion.

Fingers crossed buddy

Jamie fosta had one fitted. Few people have gone that route. Surprisingly fair few owners not on the forum. Auto boxes can also go wrong. And for big power you still need to spend tokens. If it was all about speed I'd indeed get an auto. But its about pushing the lump of steel I'm attached too. Rather than ET times. And doing it without breaking I've even thought about r154 gearsets. Even they can wine. Its really not an issue, with his new bellhousing. I'd have noise over reliability anyway. T56 is the only option. Next year. I hope to do this.

Do you have a lightweight flywheel? I'm not sure if all LW flywheels rattle. But mines pretty bad. That video isn't really against owning one, you need to be in one I think. Have you been in a T56 supra at all? Be good to try. I can't hear that noise on videos, I can hear mine on video's, so it's really not something that bothers me. My old stage 3 single plate clutch for lower power didn't sound rough, as soon as I've got a heavy duty clutch it sounds rough. Yeah you can upgrade it, but you can't launch it without risk. You can hammer and drag race a T56 all day long. 600hp granny shifting gets boring. What happens when my built R154 blows up? Buy another? Money's down the drain then. I drive my current one fairly sensible, because I can't risk throwing cash away. Those grannas boxes come with a friggin warranty! T56 kits come with clutches, everything you need. I'm best selling the R154, covering some of the T56 cost as well as op. GR700 was around £7500 18 months ago when I had a quote, shipped. Just import tax on that. Or £6500+ for a v160, with no clutch, one careful owner (lolz). Or my 35 year old R154 lol.. that I can't launch or shift hard because I don't want to pop it. Options ant great! Joel previously said to me, the GR700 will be fine for 1000hp and a bit of hobby drag racing on the odd occasion. I have to ask myself, can I afford for it to go wrong, not can I afford to upgrade.

I've seen quite a few videos, haven't heard the rattling. Did these videos include the racing bell housing by any chance? As he does a cast one now, which he says makes it sound a lot nicer. It's likely the bellhousing causing that. Expect a steel bellhousing for most gearboxs would allow the harmonic gremlins to come out. My R154 clutch is terrible, twin plate AP jobbie. Trust me won't be worst than that. Sounds like gearbox mounts are loose. Nope. Going to change the wheel bearings and see if it sorts the noise, I can't fix the play in the diff currently, I just want a photo of the Supra by the University sign when I've got my graduation gear on Then it's Winter.

Wouldn't bother me. I plan to soundproof the tunnel, to the point of obsessiveness lol.. aim to even do the dash panels. Not due to the T56, just because. I'd still advise a T56 for anyone. If it's too noisy, try sound proofing.

I spoke to Grannas and he said the 8.8 would be hard pushed for 1200hp. Maybe would be okay for 1000hp, but you really will struggle to find the diff itself, if it blows, you'll have down time. Unless you import that. I've been trying for ages just to find a diff. I feel like a future proof idea would be the Giken. It'l be what I go for. Even if you get drive shafts with the T56 swap.

sounds like rocks

What setup

Didn't realise it needed an ecu change.

You should always get an agreed value. Even if you don't agree with it. Sky wouldn't even insure my 600hp. Reis been good as gold. So far Insurance companies might also be putting their foot down to stop owners pushing values up and up. Everyone wants to have their supra at the highest bracket. But the average distribution can do that or the highest point is always moving

1500 from various Google search. But bearing and seals for the diff upto like 500 ish!

Whats hp rating on a Giken?

I didnt know that. Hmm. @Mike2JZ any advice.

Don't want to spend on that tho really bro. Os giken or 8.8 really.

No mate. Have never launched it or smashed the gears. Always been fearful the R154 would die. Didnt expect the diff to get worn. Think I'd rather go 8.8. Time to save for a T56. So I can reliably launch it hard nd drag race. Just wondering if I shim it. Itll keep me on the road.

This forum really needs a love emoji. Youre a key team player Mike. Thanks for being here mate.

Got play in my diff. It's banging pretty aggressively suddenly. Limped home and this is what I've found. Will a rebuild and shim be reliable? A01B. VID-20210814-WA0014.mp4

Yeah agree. I'd say that could be the issue.

Have you got adjustable cams.
