greeksuprakent Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Hello guys, I think I cracked my middle box today. .. London driving and speed bumps is not adviced for Supras esp Islington anti car council... I think my middle box is ruined ... the car is a bit noisier ..(although it has the HKS Super Drager on), the middle box has some sort of material (Silencing) coming out of it. Do I need a very expensive part to repair it?? Also my shacking steering is 99% down to the front disks ...shaking and can feel it on my pedal when I brake as well ... are black diamond recommended??? I had them once upon a time on my Cougar and they were brilliant. Cheers guys .. any prices for parts so I can get an idea are welcome.

supra steveo Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 go oem for discs or upgrade to UK spec also might very well have a super drager mid pipe, just need to make sure my mate doesnt need this for his scooby as he bought the back box off me he still needs to get it fab'ed up to go on his scoob still tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeksuprakent Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 for UK spec dont I need new Calipers ... as well as brake pads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 yeah everything discs ,pads and calipers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilicos Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Check your disks and if they are warped or badly worn then just buy oem brake disks and order some Chris Wilson fast road brake pads. Otherwise you could go UK spec with new disks, calipers and pads which will cost more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeksuprakent Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 It will cost a fortune to replace the whole lot :-S ... so better to go for the existing lot and replace only the disks. I have had a quick look and a black diamond front disks grooved and drilled cost £170 for the pair. Brake pads £35 for the pair. I have not done a big research just the first prices I came across. I cannot find middle part of exhaust yet but I think I will do a better search tomorrow. Chris? any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't find a new Super Dragger mid pipe, you would need to buy a complete cat back exhaust. I would remove the mid pipe you have and get an exhaust place to fabricate a copy for you.

Gaz6002 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Black Diamond discs are shockingly bad quality. As already said, Toyota discs are the best for most Supras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trinitom Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 If you are going for something not OEM, go for Blue Print or Delphi brand dic's as they seem to be ok. i think a few members are on Blue Print disc's with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greeksuprakent Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 (edited) Thank you Steve will reply to you Now I have attached some pics I am confused as to what calipers / disks I have ... (this is the annoying thing when buying a used car) Can you please give me some guidance I assume they are the stock 2 piston calipers front and 1 piston calipers on the rear that the J Imports have. However the previous owner has changed calipers all around for some reason I think they were seized ... but just to make sure he installed the J Spec and not the UK Spec. Just to clarify one of those pics is the rear wheel. And they are 18" alloys Edited August 6, 2010 by greeksuprakent (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 There definetly not UK spec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greeksuprakent Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 Good at least I know what prices I am going to be looking for. The local toyota to me ... when I mentioned I have a J Spec Supra they did not want to know. They would not supply parts as it is not a UK model or a European import... how strange.

greeksuprakent Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 OK just came back from Kwikfit ... went there to have a better look at the exhaust. The rear end has the problem it has 2 small holes, on the corners of the super drag pipe going to the back box. I suppose welding might solve this. So no rush for the middle section I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rear end has the problem it has 2 small holes, on the corners of the super drag pipe going to the back box. I suppose welding might solve this. I think the Super Dragger is mild steel, they tend to rust/crack where the pipe meets the back box as yours has. Is it very rusty? If it is then it'll be impossible to weld. May be time for a complete new cat back exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeksuprakent Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share Posted August 7, 2010 Confused a bit now ... as I have read on another post that the exhaust splits to two pipes after the 2nd cat and before the back box. Mine does not split in two pipes after the 2nd cat and before the drager back box ... what short of exaust I have? is that an HKS mid pipe section what ever is called Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most aftermarket exhausts are a single pipe from the cat to the backbox as it's cheaper and easier to make and gives some performance gain.
