toyo rob

i think you'll find this post by Ian most helpful; http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=56619 or read through this one for 100% perfect way of flushing air out of the system; http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=83646 i found that when running with the bottle 1/3 full squeezing the more accessible matrix feed pipe, the pipe with the sponge on it going across the top of the cover, produced bubbles for a quite a while. also when i flushed the matrix i used the holts 2 step and that goes through the whole system, add it to the rad. hope this is helpful Rob

Right i'm just finishing this rear wheel bearing off having had to wait for the stud axle, or as toyota calls it nearside half shaft, and come to the most annoying problem of all, one of the nuts is fooked.... could someone provide me witha part number as i dont think i will get any joy if i walk into toyotas with the fooked one and ask for a new one.. heres some pics for those that arent linked to the supra mind meld as you are looking at the arch its the left hand side support bar's nut that has been disfigured. please help:search: again.. Rob

hi all, i'm 1/2 way thru changing the rear wheel bearing and have caught another snag.... the abs sensor is stuck firmly into the hub and i just cant see a way of getting the thing out, and cant see a join to uncouple it the other end, before it goes into the boot and also cant see a join inside the boot either, how should i procede... do it cut the wire and solder the cables afterwards ????? Rob

no luck on any flv files, any more ideas

Morning all, i'm trying to copy a little moive off of the hse website, banksman instructions, but its playing in flash player and i cant save target as usual. thing is i've phoned hse and they are of no use.... any ideas how to copy it ??? cheers Rob

dont really know for sure, i would think it uses some type of refractive index taken on the fly as the fuel passes through on its way to the injectors. heres the site i found; http://www.green-car-guide.com/news/convert-your-car-to-bioethanol.htm for those that are interested. Rob

"Green Fuel’s Full Flex Gold Bi-Fuel Manager plugs into the vehicle’s injectors and communicates with the engine management system to determine the fuel type and therefore how much fuel to inject. Once fitted - an hour long job for a garage - the vehicle can run on bio-ethanol, unleaded petrol or a mix of both. The results are reduced emissions, cheaper fuel and a power boost." hey all just wondering if anyone has been looking into/ thought about doing this. with the Great fat B*****d, determined to roger us silly i'm starting to think this is soon to be the only way to keep my beauty on the road.... i'm wondering if this will work?? of course we could wait until bioethanol was widely available then with 70-80% of us with 'mappable' fuel systems it should be a 'simple' of remapping with a 100% E85. or am i hoping beyond hope ?!?!?!

thanks for the info

yes thanks mate, its the second from the right, the idsk/plate that the studs fit into, god knows what i should have called it. problem is: is nearside left or right, how do toyota 'decide' looking from the nose back, therefore the right or opposite..... i'm just full of annoying questions at the mo aren't I also all the numbrs are the same, what part number is it?? cheers Rob cheers for all the help, Rob

Hi, i need no end of help but heres the most important, was changing the rear wheel bearing this morning, under strict supervision, and after all the hassle of getting the parts off, which was not as hard as i thought. it turns out that the 'stud plate', ii think thats what it was called, is fooked.... if someone would be kind enough to find the part number it would be much appreciated. thanks Rob S

i was looking at the 7950- which has a gig rather than the 8800 which i can only find at 768. i take it same rules - bigger ram better. thanks for the help so far, keep it coming, cheers Rob

Hi all, thought i'd ask and see what you lot think of this; Processor (CPU) - INTEL® PENTIUM® D 945 (2 X 3.4GHz) 800MHz FSB/2 x 2MB L2 Cache Memory (RAM) - 2048 MB CORSAIR XMS2 800MHz - LIFETIME WARRANTY! (2x1GB) Motherboard - ASUS® STRIKER EXTREME: The ultimate gaming motherboard 1st CD/DVD Drive - 18x DVD±RW/RAM/Dual Layer + Lightscribe (48 x CD-RW) (£17) Memory Card Reader - INTERNAL 57 IN 1 CARD READER (READS XD, MS, CF, SD, etc) Power Supply & cooling - 600W Quiet Quad Rail PSU incl Case Fan & CPU Cooler (£69) Firewire & Video Editing - 2 x IEEE 1394a FIREWIRE ONBOARD (1 in back + 1 on board) £693 thing is- it said there was 'instability' on this chipset with any more ram at 800mhz, said to increase ram at slower 667mhz or stay a 2 gb - does anyone know what i should do?? is 2gb @ 800 better than say 4gb @ 667 also am looking for a good graphics card any ideas?? the one i want is £330 notes a little out of my league cheers Rob

i'm currently in the process of 'flushing' the rad with the holts rad flush and it seems to be working.

love to have this but the chance of me getting over to drop the car off in birmingham for a few days is very unlikely!! bloody typical just when the perfect solution pops up something's there to bite it in the arse! Rob

thanks for the offer calros but i have just arranged for a 2nd hand one, if urs is new i would be tempted on what ur looking for it. si, that one one hell of a bill. i think toyota would be a last ditch thing as with all the posts on it recently i was hoping someone has found an ingenious way of sorting these out. cheers for all the help tho Rob

thanks for the offer carlos but have already got another coming to me tho. si that was one hell of a bill, there has been loads of bits on this since then and was hoping someone might have found a better way. your numbers are great tho, thanks Rob

any luck with this daman, mine is in a worse condition than urs, i only get the 'big' noise (flap thingy) when going from 20 odd degrees up. and get no more sounds after that at all. i have flushed the engine before and that semi cured the problem to roughly what you were suggesting, working upto 27 odd but not after. going to search out this nitrox stuff and try again. if you should bite the bullet and buy a new unit from toyota a part number would be greatly appreciated. thanks and good luck Rob

Hi all, could someone please help me with a few part numbers; O/S (passenger) Rear Wheel Bearing Kit - i've seen lots talked about but no numbers yet, Heater Control Unit - again seen lots of bits and pieces about this but no numbers yet, Rear Gearbox Seal, Toyota4life - since i'm getting the rest might as well get this too. cheers Rob Spinks

ooh been trying to put the soop aside to get jon's refurbs done.....if i win this will be the time. but then little chance as i'm only post 351

i'm real interested, the guy before me bought a lovely set of phoenix gold 5 1/4s, most people seem to uprate to 6" (17cm) if the could do a set with 13.4 cm 'holes' then im in. 1)Sheefa 2)Stevie_b (Steve) 3)m45sey 4)Chris and Alana? 5)Toyo Rob - depending on size

Just to add my two p's..... just got back from CW's today, must say a huge thanks to him for a short notice booking then still letting me in when i'm late!!!, he just fitted wi on my bpu... and what a difference, she's been running a bit funny, odd occasions where she seems to start overfuelling when i keep my foot steady on the pedal, well whether the wi fixed it or is hiding it i dont really care as i've already had a beautifully smooth ride home, also my old boost settings went right out the window as i was boosting through the roof on what was 1.1 ended up reducing the boost setting by 10% easy and on top of everything else she seems to be doing nearly 50 extra km's per tank, (based on 125 from full to 3/4's constant to 150, then a bit of maths!!)

took off my standard rear bumper the other day and some of the stupid rivet type catches broke up, does anyone know if they have to come from toyota and what the part number is???? also could someone tell me what this Body floor carpet [stick/black] 58510-1B171-C0 actually is ?? is it the carpet or the mats??? im looking for some nice carpet to put in the back but it needs to be sold in lengths, if you get what i mean, NO preset squares. Cheers Rob

136 not bad always wanted to go into engineering .... just gone thru all the scores..... am i really top - go me first thing i've won EVER

Chris what s the time frame if i was to ask you to put one in for me?? running bpu at 1.2 Rob
