Ok, i'm out, [emoji23]

Thanks dude, really appreciate it. Will drop you a pm when i have the funds

Absolutely! I do want them, 100% If you can hold them, i'd appreciate it, if not no worries

I want them, but haven't the cash to stump up right now. Always the way lol. I still have a low mile Engine, so hopefully they aren't gonna take a dump any time soon lol

Nice, what do they cost? Only thing i worry about is once i start messing about with the exhaust, the Turbo seals usually go...

Yea, i found this out after sticking a camera in there lol. Its coming out for welding soon. So i can still go and drift whilst saving for an LSD... lol

Still enjoying this thing at the moment and making a start at doing more work to the old Girl. Gave her a well deserved service the other day with some HKS goodies and swapped out the leaky Rad Cap for a Cusco jobbie, Also been tinkering with the Induction system and working at reducing the Induction temps, so I cleaned and heat wrapped the Turbo Inlet pipes, installed some new Silicone Hoses and some Hard Piping to suit. Just need to do the rear Turbo inlet pipe as i ran out of wrap..! Plus finish the Airbox Hose with some Silicone and another heat wrapped pipe. I have also bought some second hand HKS Hiper-D Coilovers for cheaps, Cleaned up well after a Jet wash One rear needs a re-seal, but will do both to keep it all even on the back end. All need new top mount plates, but seeing as they aren't available anymore I will be getting the material CNC'd to size and knock them up myself. Then some Purple Anodising ready to go back on. Struts just need a good Polish, but wont be too long till they are all rebuilt. Just need to seek out someone to check the pressures and re-gas them now....

Was just looking for one for now, but will let you know if i'm prepared to take them both.

Would you split? Or only for sale as a pair?

There's always next year..!

No worries Al, Happy to contribute in any way we can. Good luck to the entrees

All you can do is try with the old plate i guess. All they can do is say no.

V888 is the form you need btw

You can fill out a form with the DVLA to find out the current keepers details. You have to pay a small fee, but have to give a reason as to why you want the info... Pretty sure you would need a reg number though.

Gearbox sympathy package landed today, will hopefully ease the strain of any sideways abuse... Mishimoto Transmission Oil cooler; 9l of Royal Purple ATF for a full Oil Change; Also had some Diff seals land for when i upgrade to a Kaaz LSD, but hoping i have a Torsen diff which will suffice until then. Will get an Endoscope in there on the weekend, should tell me what diff it is, as i cant find any info on an A01C diff....

Indeed, quite a rare beast, although apparently there are a few Chaser owners about the Midlands, i'm still yet to see one out and about. I dont have many yet, hasnt been the weather to get any of late. Will do soon though for sure Good point. I was speaking to a friend who does drifting tuition at Flatout Factory, he has drifted a few of these Auto JZX90's He said I need to switch the Overdrive and Traction Control off, put her in power mode, stick the box in second, then go and play.... lol Already a boost of confidence to go and do it now, was expecting a load of flack for doing Auto drifts, but meh, its about the fun aspect no?

Cheers lol She's quick as she is, turn the OD off, put in Power Mode and goooo.....! Cant imagine what 400hp would be like lol

So been a few months since I stepped away from Supra ownership. But i haven't left the Toyota brand behind... New years day, i took a 400 mile round trip to pick up the new whip, 1996 Toyota Chaser Tourer V. She's my first Turbo car and packing a 1JZ-GTE with just over 51,000 miles on the clock. Pulls like a train, and is pretty darn immaculate for the age. Wheels are from an R32 GTR, which i hear are forged, so pretty strong. I am looking to squeeze some reliable power out of the stock Twins, but will be looking at building up another set with new bearings, seals and billet internals. Hoping for 300-400hp on a relatively OE setup. Also in the pipeline is an LSD, I want to take her drifting where possible, she's an auto i know, but don't care too much. So i have some saving to do...! Will be updating as a project thread as we go

Some interesting points being made... I have the cooler now, but no thermostat. Any idea why Toyota stuff would be better than the Royal Purple fluid? or is it just a pointless spend?

Not sure about the additives, my primary concern is the heat. I'm running a larger cooler, but want to be extra safe with an oil that can cope

I think more Oil would take longer to heat up, but like you say, once its warm, its warm and there's just more of it.

Cheers bud, will give them a look
