  1. Managed to buy a full boot in the end, cheers guys
  2. I didn't realise they still sold stuff like that new, il give them a try thanks
  3. Upon removing my rear screen to rectify the corrosion in the seal, it smashed in to 25 million pieces, anybody know where i can purchase a rear screen? Closer to Blackpool the better. Thanks very much Steve
  4. Does the ls400 diff bolt directly into the Supra? Same shafts and prop etc. Or do you put parts into The supra case? What power are you running through your diff? Thanks man
  5. This is exactly what I wanted to read when i came on tne forum today . I have the 420G also and find the ratios way too small. Going single turbo soon and want it to actually build boost. Thanks for the great info
  6. Its ok took some messing about at first but now im happy with it. They are a notchy feeling box. Mine has a short shifter im going to replace with oem to try improve the notchy feel. But it seems quite happy so far
  7. 3 year's running as beautifully as ever, il help you buy your next car you turd
  8. I should say the cars not oem so im not painting it to add value in that way, started as a NA 5 speed, now is GTE with a BMW 420G Getrag. Soon to get a precision 6266 aiming for around 600hp.
  9. Its 3L2 paint code i believe (off the top of my head) i like the factory look with added splitter and despoiler, it won't staying red though, the bumper is a bad copy and ruins the car for me. The grey is metallic gunmetal grey.
  10. Afternoon folks, im considering painting my supra, current paint is tired and not looking its best. My plan is to go for the same gunmetal grey my r32 is painted (oem nissan colour). What non oem colours have others done? Im also considering a dark purple or maybe white, far too much choice . The supra will have oem bumpers and skirts when painted also. Added some pics of the supra and Skybus for colour idea
  11. Im looking for a rust free boot lid, ideally with glass for ease, and the 2 trim panels inside the rear wheel arch forward side. Blackpool based but can travel within reason. Thanks
  12. Troll go away (i dont)
  13. Got a long driveway Craigmuns
  14. I will cheers man, gives me places to look . Perfect help i appreciate it
  15. Awsome thanks il go diff hunting/ring and pinion hunting:)
  16. Perfect again thanks very much. 3.2 first choice 3.7, seccond. Having never played with diff ratio's do I need a full diff? Or just change the ring and pinion? Are special pulling tool's required etc?.
  17. At the time it had a lower redline aswell around 5000(that issue now fixed) but its way to short geared for me. Fantastic information there really appreciate it. Il get searching for a 3.2 idealy, wanting to go big single so think the taller gearing will help in boost times. I was wondering about the Lexus options. Gs400 etc. Thanks again for the help
  18. Hey lovely supra folk, Keep reading conflicting information regarding diff ratio's. I have a 1993 supra, originally a w58 with lsd from factory ( 4.08 i believe). My car is now fitted with a GTE and a Getrag 420G 6 speed( similar ratio to the toyota 6 speed i was told). The car is very short geared because of this, at 120 its on the redline in 6th. What options do i have to make the gearing taller? Ideally a diff that will fit directly as i have a custom prop shaft etc. Hope i got all the info in there sorry its long winded . Cheers
  19. I raised the throttle stop screw. It had unscrewed itself. Il check the power steering Monday when im home . Its non vvti. It does have a bov, il try blanking it to test if that's the issue
  20. Well i increased idle from 500 to 800. So far it seems quite happy now. Will test further
  21. Hey folks, My supra 2jz-gte manual has a habit of stalling when approaching junctions. Its not every time, 1 in 10 maybe. Its perfect when cold, also idle is around 500rpm when hot, which seems low to me. Cars done this for 4 years with the previous owner, but its driving me crazy, changed all vac lines and the ICV. This did help a lot but still 1 in 10 stops the revs drop and stall. My plan is to check tps and raise idle tomorrow, any other things i should look for while im at it? Thanks for the help
  22. Also have this issue. I have a cheap gps Speedo now but looks crap in the car. Be nicer to get the oem dash working with it
