Thanks mate well i kind of do, just that i have my p plates for another 2 and a half years which means no turbo :/ so i was thinking is it worth doing a 6 speed conversion and then being ready for a GTE to drop in when i get off my p plates or just to sell this after and get a clean RZ but i just think i will get heaps attached to this car for having it for three years. :/

  • 6 months later...

Hey guys and girls, Thought i would do a write up about my Supra haven't been on here since.... Well a long time.

 

Was stock as a rock besides some coilovers and some aftermarket wheels and also too a bloody pod filter.

 

So i drove up to Sydney to inspect it and had it looked over by a mechanic and it had some really minor things wrong, such as the brakes, boot rattling, pinhole in welsh plug, damage to the skirts and the boot plastics being scratched and it all being empty besides the spare Tyre with shit carpet on it, but i was happy with it all and talked him down to $7200. So i ended up driving home in my new Supra :hihi:

Was quite a surprise driving and being so happy at the same time and also to for it being a N/A it has alot of power compared to a commodore which i found out by going through a roundabout in the rain on the way home :/ and also to having a rock flick up and crack abit of the windscreen was not a happy thing to happen on the way home but overall i was just stunned getting home and having a supra in my driveway and i am glad to be part of the Supra community :)

Okay so another post for you guys.

 

Spoke to James Pogson at Gameon Motorsports and had quite a few chats with him on what to do and what to get for all the work I need to be done and knew that this legend of a bloke had to be the guy to do my work ! So I was all booked in with him to get all the work to my car done.

 

So a brand new Dual Mass flywheel and Stock 6 speed Clutch and a Brand new OEM stock 6 speed shift Knob were ordered for a great price :)

 

100k service parts were all ordered from Curt from Elmhurst Toyota :)

List:

1 x Drive Belt

1 x Timing Belt

1 x Fuel Filter

1 x Oil Filter

1 x timing belt tensioner bearing

1 x Timing Belt Tensioner

1 x Drive Belt Tensioner

1 x Water Pump

1 x Thermostat

1 x Harmonic Balancer

2 x Cam seals

1 x crank seal

1 x Rear Main Oil Seal

1 x Spark plug leads

6 x Spark Plugs

2 x Timing belt covers

1 x 6MT Seal, Input

1 x 6MT Seal, Output

1 x 6MT Seal, Shifter

1 x Speed Meter Sensor. O-ring

 

While waiting for them to come I got a nice lovely RBT on the way home from work. Knowing my luck was a female cop and she was not in a good mood with me being as nice as I could be after a 12hour shift, so anyways long story short after her checking under my bonnet and checking the front tyres (She thought it was a FWD :dunno:) I got a defect to be cleared withing 48hrs for No horn, aftermarket exhaust and car to low :rolleyes:

image

Next day visited my mechanic an just put in it for a couple of hours and free of charge my defect my cleared :wink:

 

A few days later came home from Tafe to see a slip at the door from the mail man and knew it was my 100k service parts :D Curt did a great job on packing it all postage was quicker than was surposed to be.

image

 

After that came I went down to the local Repco store to get all my fluids and then relised I had forgotten the gearbox fluid and needed decent diff fluid so a quick call to Castle Hill Toyota and they were on the way and arrived the next day :)

image

 

- - - Updated - - -

 

So after having everything I needed the car was ready to goto Gameon Motorsports. Dropped my car off on the 7th of Feb, it was a Thursday Afternoon due to having no other days early than that free to do so but I was happy with that :)

 

Fist James decided to do the gearbox first and do the rear main seal so after doing so I was left with this:

image

Looks like it has never been touched before and showing how bad the car was due for its 100k service.

 

With James Magic it was looking like new:

image

 

Then the flywheel was to be attached:

image

 

While James was doing the seals on the Gearbox he noticed the input selector seal was pushed in too far and had to rip open the box. Looks dam clean inside !

image

 

Getting ready to be put in:

image

 

Then got sent a picture that night showing how clean a brand new shift knob is:

image

 

Engine being all pulled apart for everything to be done:

Starting to be put back together:

On Sunday it was all done but I had forgotten the Rocket Cover Gaskets (Silly me) so they arrived on Monday and A quick trip to James and in no time they were changed !

image

 

The car was all done within a couple of hours just doing some finishing touches and helping me install the rest of my gauges to there sensors that have been put in place.

After the drive home thought to check the engine bay and noticed we hadn't of tightened up a clamp so a pink/red theme was added to my engine bay :p

image

After tightening up it was all good and has been for over a week now, but the top hose does need to be replaced.

 

But other than that I have been over the top with everything that has been done !

Big thanks to James Pogson, the quality work Gameon Motorsports has done and how quick it was done was spectacular ! Would recommend him to anyone who needs work done to their car. Top Bloke !

Whats the BIG 'P' on that car and yours next to the reg? Surely not provisional licence!? Learners in a Supra :-)

 

Yeah it's for a provisional driver :(

 

Where did you source the weathershields from? And how much are they? Been after some for AGES!!!!!!

 

I have a source over in Japan, I get a fair few goodies from :) and they are $270 AUD (pretty expensive) But yeah there discontinued and rare as hen's teeth.

Welcome to the forum! Liking that you are going GTE and V161 - good moves :)

 

Shame that the wind deflectors are so expensive - I've been on the look-out for a driver one for a while having had a passenger only for a while now! Though in saying that, I don't know if I'd end up fitting them or not? :)

Aussie drivers are restricted for a couple of years after passing their tests. I'm not sure if it's different from state to state, but IIRC it's stuff like no forced induction, no V8s, power to weight ratio limits.

 

Mods are also restricted in Oz, unlike here, hence the defect notice for the car being too low. I think the minimum ground clearance is 100mm (4 inches). There are rules about the difference in wheel size from standard, and on the size of engine for transplants (no SB Chevy engines in Fiat 126s), for example, and stuff like the car has to have engineering approval if there is more than one modification to the induction system.

 

We really have it easy (at the moment). :)
