  1. Yes that is the 2 way trd centre. You can tell by looking at the lobe in the middle
  2. Thats odd ^ I used a 341 and Im JDM. The only difference between the two is the position of where the fuel lines enter and exit the pump.
  3. offable...I like that word What ffim are you looking to buy Fosta? I wouldnt order any cables until you know exactly where your TB will be situated. Lots of people looking to do the FFIM, I wish I had amazing engineering skills, so I could plan a group buy and save everyone some clams. So far, the nicest one I have seen is the hypertune, but there is no way I can justify that cost. I dont like the look of the home made D-shape plenums, as I can see them flowing quite poorly due to not having velocity stacks for the runner entry, and having the 45 degree angle plate at the rear of the plenum. I want to go for either a converted GTE FFIM welded onto GE lower runners, or one of the nice units that are made in thailand and sold on ebay. There is more than a few reports of being able to barter them down on price, and shipping too so thats a plus. I think a complete kit with the gaskets, throttle cables, vacuum fittings, throttle body, iacv, tps ect, would be a huge hit with the na-t crowd too
  4. No worries, just let me know if there is something specific I can help you with

    Na ffim 2jz

    Most of the nightmares you hear about NA-T is from people who didnt research the project enough, didnt plan their set up correctly, didnt buy the right parts, and tried to do things out of their scope of talent. Unfortunatly most na-t conversions go through the above issues due to trying to rush things. People have no patience these days lol The GE engine loves boost, and doesnt need half of the parts you see listed in peoples set ups, E.G COP igniton, welded in cam sensors, GTE oil pump with CPS, GTE head, GTE ECU, GTE pistons, DLI, 3mm HG etc etc etc. All it takes is a good ECU that is well tuned, good quality fuel, and the GE will produce more than enough power for most. Its when people cut corners that the issues start appearing.
  6. Japanese cars tend to use japanese tyre companys, Euro use euro tyre companys. Whatever sticks is whats best for the Supra. You can never have too much grip
  7. No worries, Ill put that in my "to do" list in my diary Choice
  8. Im guessing your version of the Emanage is the first version? They had an issue with them as when you remove the circuit board from the case, that part you have circled can impact on the casing and cause a short circuit. Im guessing that has happened in the past to the unit you have, and it was repaired.
  9. Agreed, the 4/2 pots with a suitable brake pad compound to match the type of use your car gets. BBK's are typically installed by people for aethetic reasons, as very few people push their A80 hard enough to need more braking than the 4/2 offers. Just be sure to buy quality rotors to go with the new callipers/pads, as the metal they are made from has a huge bearing on their abiltiy to cope with prolonged heat. The cheap aftermarket rotors will not be worth the money you save over the oem items
  10. The ARP flywheel bolts will be the best option. They use the same ones as the 4AGE engine, and are quite well priced
  11. No they are just refering to the locating lugs on the sides of the injector where the plug connects. The tidiest way to do it is use a very sharp razor blade and cut away from yourself
  12. No worries mate, I will do that for you. Ill ask if I can put my car in the foyer to Te papa (the museum) and snap some pics hehe. Any other parts of welly you had in mind? Cheers
  13. WOW!! Now thats a tool. *Imagines the fruit I could put in that*
  14. Like most places around the world, we are going through tough times, with highish unemployment (6.3%) less full time jobs, more part time jobs, relatively low minimum hourly rate ($13.50NZD/6.50quid) lots of skilled workers unable to get jobs, and the extremely high cost of living. But in saying that, if you have a trade, are good at what you do, and have a good working ethic, there will always be a job for you. Ironically, Christchurch would be your safest bet for guaranteed employment as the rebuild is going to need thousands of skilled people to get it done. The rest of the country is going through a decline in the new housing market so finding a job will be far harder, though not impossible. What sort of joinery do you specialise in? Regarding the roads and scenery, you are right, its a beautiful country with some great roads (and luckily some great racetracks too), and I really enjoy living here, although I know by staying here, Im sacrificing a more secure financial future that I could have by moving abroard. I love having a section, with a vege garden, and a pimped out garden shed with HD TV and wi-fi, living right on the south coast of the north island, I have stunning seaviews and sunsets over the snow capped kaikouras (the mountain range at the top of the south island) The grass isnt always greener on the other side For the record, so do I. I was just fishing for a bite
