Hitbox Junkie Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Are those 17 standard? or have you widened them as they look so good on your car, its stance is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashloys Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 Are those 17 standard? or have you widened them as they look so good on your car, its stance is great. Yep stock tyre sizes too. Just 25mm spacers all round! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashloys Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 Also my alternator has just shit itself so I've got a brand new/reconditioned OEM Denso one to replace it along with a new battery. The car is getting a pair of low mileage UK twin turbos fitted at the end of the month as well with new gaskets and a service. Will be good to finally use full boost again!!

steve spedd Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Looks great, what did you do about the speedo? the R154 isn't electronic is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashloys Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 Looks great, what did you do about the speedo? the R154 isn't electronic is it? The more modern JZX100 Chaser R154's and the more modern Soarer ones are electronic, but you're right that my MK3 Supra one isn't! I bought a Marlin Crawler vehicle speed sensor adapter from Driftmotion in America which just plugs in to the OEM wiring and works electronically as normal.

ashloys Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 So the car is away to get a pair of low 60k mile UK turbos fitted. Richard Bradley is fitting them, he does work and maps a lot of the top cars in the Irish Drift Championship. Since he's got a dyno at his place I think I'll get it thrown on there after to check the AFR etc and see what boost I'm able to safely run on the turbos with my jspec injectors etc. Brand new OEM manifold gasket UK Spec 1st decat UK turbos in my boot ready for the drive to Richard Bradley to fit them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashloys Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 Ok so after I was mis sold a Jspec decat as a UK Spec I decided to get one off Tim at TB Developments. It's on its way now, so the car should be back on the road next week! Looks extremely well made! Also I've got 2 Jspec decats for sale if anyone needs one now lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashloys Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 Also, a nice little package arrived yesterday from JapWest Mods. I've wanted a set of these for as long as I can remember and they're the exact sizes I wanted too! Enkei RPF1 18X10 ET38 18X9 ET35 They weigh about 7-8KG each too, extremely light!! I can't wait to get them fitted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashloys Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 Just got the car back from Richard Bradley's, 10x better than it was before. Car pulls much harder and for longer and just generally drives much better. Whoever owned the car before me had set the FPR up badly and was running too rich and there were a few boost leaks in vacuum pipes etc so that's probably why it feels so much better! Glad to have it back with the new turbos and I can now just drive it and enjoy it! Just need to get tyres sorted, if anyone has any Pilot Sports part worn they wish to donate, feel free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashloys Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 hi mate i just see you have done an r154 swap basically mine is finished apart from my prop i dont know what i need etc could you let me know what prop you used or what pieces for front and rear and how you got round the carrier bearing issue please its driving me mad just want to drive it home now haha Tbh I can't answer you 100% as I used an R154 from a MK3 Supra, not a JZX90! Personally, I used the rear half of an NA 5 speed Supra, mated to the front half of an R154 MK3 Supra propshaft (but I had to use the NA5 carrier bearing, it just bolted off and swapped over). In your particular case I'm not of any help. The only other person I know that's done an R154 swap used a JZX100 R154 which again may be slightly different? TBH what you're best doing is just measuring the length the front half of it needs to be and take it to an engineering shop. It'll be cut/welded/balanced and that'll be your best bet. It'll probably end up cheaper than buying several different props from used cars and find out that they don't work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarleyFDMD Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Looking very nice mate. I really like it with the stock 17s, particularly in that colour. Theres certainly something about it that just sets it apart from the rest. Less is definitely more i think in your case. I bought an R154 for mine today. Will be swapping out the W58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
