Hi, Made a few posts, bought a Supra, want to join up. I've read about Trade members, Hobby members... everywhere I thought the "Join" button would be and even found it mentioned that it was in "Club Extras" but I really can't find it. I'd have thought it would be very obvious - is it a test to see if you are a worthy member ? If so I've failed already

27 views and no one knows ? I've had it on a ramp this afternoon - still can't see one.

Hi, I've searched and checked Google images etc and I simply can't find my water temp sensor. (My temp gauge doesn't work) My water pipes don't look like any of the images I've seen and I can't see any wires going anywhere near water pipes. Can anyone tell me where it is please also should something be screwed in where I've circled ? Thanks

I realise std is 50mm but I've never seen std wheels fitted (to see what clearance they have) I was working on the basis 350Z also have big 4 pots fitted.

I've searched but can't find anyone who has tried them Front Size: 18 x 8.0 Offset: + 30 mm Weight: 18.19 lbs Tyre: 225/45/18 Rear Size: 18 x 8.5 Offset: + 33 mm Weight: 18.62 lbs Tyre: 245/45/18 It's for an NA that I intend to V8 and I specifically don't want huge tyres as I like the car to move around.

Thanks

Tyson - yes mine would be an NA. Albeit then with a 1UZ - which according to straightsix would be back within the regs - I already have the donor and it's a 93 Fly - no I'm not sure at all

I'm sick of looking and don't want silver or white and there's an SZR nearby. It also has the better: clutch, diff and brakes I can afford £1500 but at the same time if it's not as nice to use as the W58 then why have it ? Also a V8 shouldn't really need 6 gears and shouldn't break the W58. AFAIK imports pre 95 can get away without CATS as VOSA don't have them specifically listed - certainly this is true of import MX5s. Although they are sold as Eunos Roadsters which may be why they get exemption as their model name is different - so it may not apply to Supras

Thanks Scooter - very handy link. I've managed to figure out how the gear ratio calculator (old post on here) works too, looks like ideally I'd want to keep the 6 speed and get a TT ratio diff to get the cruising rpm down without raising the gearing too much in the lower gears. How agricultural is the 6 speed compared to the W58 ? Josh - If I buy it I'll bear you in mind - still trying to work out what base car makes the most sense - I'd rather get a pre 95 to avoid needing CATS

Hi guys Long term lurker here keep meaning to buy a Supra but haven't got around to it yet. I'm looking to buy an Manual NA Supra with the intention of later dropping the Soarer V8 in (hope that goes down better here than V8 conversions do on the RX7 forums) I have searched but it's taking ages to find all the answers so I hope someone might just know it all (and tell me) Is the NA 6 speed exactly the same as the TT 6 speed (It appears so, V160 right ?) Other than the brakes and diff (and the box) is there any other benefit to buying an SZR facelift ? Am I correct that the diff is a small case but the brakes are the same as the TT ? Will a small case diff be OK with a 300bhp V8 ? If I decided to get some money out of the SZR by selling the 6 speed and replacing it with a 5 speed is it a simple swap of box, prop, flywheel ? Am I right in thinking I'd net around £1500 by doing this ? Is there a 5/6 gearbox / auto / TT / NA diff ratio info posted anywhere ? So I can work out what's best for a V8 ? Thanks Mark

I bought a 5.0 as 5v really isn't that much but will obviously charge faster than the 3.6 only cost about £8 more and had 8 rather than 4 stages. Got mine off Ebay approx £54 and it's managed everything from my bike to my diesel van.

^^^ This is very good advice

Find a T junction so you can turn a sharp right. Give it some revs and drop the clutch. If the back end steps out it's got an LSD. If one wheel spins you haven't.
