Disc Brakes Australia. Well known, and, as far as I know, well respected, in the Antipodes.

Interesting, I didn't know that they are alloy. Looks like the pistons are smaller than J-spec Supra (c. 38mm vs c. 43mm). I assume that, if the caliper bolt spacing is different, you'd have use the LS400 caliper bracket and figure out an adaptor to bolt it to the Supra hub.

If we are talking about the UCF20 brakes, I'm not sure if they fit, and even if they do, they are not an upgrade.

Some were 8 all round... N/As?

AFAIK all blown Mercs have a supercharger clutch. My old C230K certainly did. You could hear it engage at about 2000rpm. Nice job... very envious.

Possible problem is that the Tremecs are double overdrive to help the American manufacturers meet their CAFE targets. OK for a big torquey V8, not so good for a revvy little turbo 6.

Sold for £3,520

KYB (Kayaba) shocks are about 55 quid each.

Might be worth checking the Australian Supra forums and the Toymods forum.

GM still supply an LS3 engine set up for a carburettor http://www.partsworldperformance.com/ls3-376-515-v8-crate-engine-19244552

The Think Automotive (Mocal) catalogue recommends mounting the cooler as close as possible to the front of the radiator, because someone has already sorted out the ducting. The catalogue is available online as a PDF document, and has a lot of useful info on the different types of cooler, installation, bypass thermostats, etc.

There's an LS/RX-8 thread on Pistonheads (one of Craig Taylor's). IIRC it ended up at around £18K, although that was a turnkey conversion using a Monaro engine/box bought in the UK, plus a bodykit and glass-out respray.

That shopping mall is much more interesting than the one at Cribbs Causeway. http://remise.de/Classic-Remise-Berlin-english-summary.php

Has that requirement changed? IIRC, the manual said that the rear fog should be checked with dipped beam on, but didn't say that the fog should go out when the headlights were switched off. In fact, again IIRC, it said that the rear fog could be independent of lights and ignition.

It is possible to have calipers (and master cylinders) re-sleeved with stainless steel, but I wouldn't have thought there was any point unless the parts are unusable and unavailable.

A quick search found that the diameter of the BMW clutch plate (including the V8 M5) is 9 7/16 inches (239.713 mm - it was an American parts catalogue catalog ). The R154 clutch is also 9 7/16 diameter (Supra 6-speed is 9 7/8 - 250.825 mm). Would it be possible to drill a 1JZ/R154 flywheel to take the BMW clutch cover (or have a custom flywheel made) and just use a BMW clutch?

^^^ This. Our old Staff loved cats, to the extent that when out walking we had to drag him away from the claws of some very scared/angry cats that didn't realise he was just being friendly. When we acquired a kitten we had to keep them separate for about a week. Not because the cat was in any danger, but because the dog would't stop mothering it (by licking it into a horrible dog saliva covered mess ).

If you have the option (which you probably don't in this case), the safest method is to pay directly with a credit card. Google paypal Section 75 for the reasons.

Search for H&R spacers that fit the Mk1/2 GS300.

Do you have the adaptors to fit the LS or Supra calipers to the JZX? Also, LS calipers will not fit straight on to a GS/Aristo because of the suspension design. Do they fit a JZX?
-
In the exploded diagram from the EPC, you can see that the reservoir has two outlets, and there are two separate pistons in the master cylinder.

All cars have had dual-circuit brakes for decades. EDIT: Apparently, the USA has required dual-circuit brakes since 1967.
