hey chaps, had my supra about a year now and I can honestly say its best car ive had! do we have a supplier on here of toyota service parts? oil air and fuel filters? Planning on servicing and putting a 12 month mot on it and bye bye , it was recently on eBay but had a lot of time wasters. https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/t1/1456088_10152417875881038_1274848528_n.jpg

ok great im guessing it would be the smaller of the 2 disc size options then 268 i believe?

ok cheers, come pics ... https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/922676_10151938290696038_765938226_n.jpg

Afternoon bit of a newb question im not sure if i have 2 or 4 pot front brakes as i cant see the circles :/ lol i have the 3l twin turbo import 93 any one sugest a good place to get a good price on some discs and pads for the front ? Cheers Billy:)

ok guys update new rad fitted yesterday and shes working perfectly now, no overheating problems at all. relieved isnt the word! thanks for all your help and advice

no worries il flush the system out when i get a new rad next week. thanks for replies

new symptom found today, overheated on motorway so i put my heaters on full to try help and it started blowing cold air??...... but i just got back in the car now warmed her up without overheating it and its blowing warm air.

Morning Chaps! I am after suggestions on a new rad that will fit my import auto twin turbo. standard one has a built in oil cooler i believe so im after some good suggestions on what I should use. to mount the oil cooler ive been told the old mini exhaust hangers are good as they have a rubber part to take away bad vibration to avoid damage to the rad/cooler

took car to a good garage today, they are very confident its not the head gasket. they recon even though the rad has had a flush its going to be the internals of the rad. with it being an automatic im struggling to find after market one with the oil cooler built in at the bottom. does any one have any links to any rads that will fit? thanks

no the fan seems to work fine , i can make it overheat so quickly. it can be middle temp then i put my foot down for 10 seconds and il watch it move.

ok update ; all hoses replaced , new thermostat / rad cap..... had the radiator flushed and the garage said they don't think there are any blockages as water was flowing out very quickly. took vehicle onto motorway, foot flat to floor ( past little stopper so it pretty much red lines it ) and the heat gauge slowly moved up 3/4 of the way ( i could see it move ) and i then backed down and it went to normal. im guessing thats not normal ?? if i had stayed with my foot to floor it would go into the red........ starting to think more towards head gasket but i have no smoke or oil in coolant.

i asume you mean run the car for 5 mins with the cap off

scooter i appreciate your help, i do want the hose quickly. but i think visiting some local stores tomorrow should sort me out. did not realise it was that easy to get a hold of

1.6CM across and the circumference is 5.4 cm. the length is 11 cm, do you match ?

better picture of pipe, i need bottom one .

thanks

hey guys, had my thermostat fitted today and a coolant flush took for a short test drive all ok so far! but when i parked on my drive i had loads of steam coming from under my bonnet........ looked like i have pope a hose :/ does any one know the part numbers for these 2 hoses so i can order from dealer! cheers Billy

ok , thanks for all your advise. I have it booked for a radiator flush and a thermostat renewal next week, ive told them to inspect for any leaks. Il post again once its been done.

ifit was a stat? the top pipe coming off the radiator would not get hot ?...... when you squeeze that pipe you can feel pressure..... ive been told thats not good ?

The fans work fine. And I have a rad flush Nd therm renewal booked for Wednesday. The heat rise is pretty sudden driving normally temp gauge in the middle then put my foot down for a mile and you can see the temp gauge getting higher

Ok guys I've fitted new rad cap. Still over heats when driven enthusiastically

rad cap should be with me tomorrow, fingers crossed that solves it ! il keep you updated!

its auto GZ model import, which is why im not sure on what rad to get as i believe it has a built in oil cooler as well according to the dealer ?? if some one could point one out to me.... ive found loads but i dont know if mines JZA80 ?

Thanks.... I have ordered a rad cap and thermostat from Steve at Oxford Toyota who gave me some good discount for being on here. Any ideas on costs of a radiator for an auto ... Dealers price is 341.58 Not sure what to look for on eBay :/

Ok the heaters do blow hot. Can't take pic of cap yet. I just had a block test done and the notes say "Just starting to change fluid colour,possible head gasket fault" Isit stil worth me changing cap/ therm and rad or is this pointless? Thanks
