the the opie oils site mate just put in your VRN and they'll have all recommendation for all fluids for your car. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/t-recommendations-car-or-bike.aspx

No mate my supra aint for sale for sale and its silver. Nothing bad ment by haunt mate i used to be on Clan japan quite a bit and you were always on when i was. You had a Colt with a FTO engine IIRC?

I just thought the TT autobox would be stronger than the soarer one esp if it gets near 300bhp. What sort of power will the soarer autobox take? I have all the TT stuff as i was originally going to do NA-TT but i like the idea of doing the V8 as its different from the norm. Thanks for all the input so far guys this is why i started this thread.

This needs stickied.

Ah in that case i have a flex-plate but i need bolts and centre plates. thanks again David

wht did you buy a supra drive it a few times then go straight for a manual conversion? What manual box you fitting? Id be more interested what garage in strathclyde is doing the work on your car mate?

dont you usually haunt clan japan forums?

Thanks David, I have an NA auto on the car and i have all the above except... centre plates and a flex plate???(unsure what this is) and the bolts (could come off the NA box).

You can pick up 1UZ engines for as little as £200 and there are quite a few out there where as GTE engines are harder to come by and get snapped up QUICK. Im not seeking BIG power in fact id be happy with about 300 which is achieveable with a 1UZ with a remap and improved breathing. It all jusr seemed cheaper as im DIYing

Hi David i wondered when you'd be along mate I was going to use a soarer engine, would that ECU be the same as the Lexus? If i lived nearer you id cross your palm with silver with help doing the hybrid transmition, however i still have your phone number so maybe giving you a call. I assume the TT autobox, prop and diff i have lying about are no good then?

Thanks mate, a hobbiest would be onto a fortune if they made plug and play looms.

love it, looks spot on imo

Im hoping anyone with experiences doing a V8 conversion will ad any general info to this thread, its an option ive been looking into for a long time but never had the bottle as i always thought a 2JZ-GTE would be a lot easier. Ive pm'd a few members that have done this and it sounds do-able apart from making/customising a wiring loom (this is where it would go wrong for me as my knowledge on electrics and ECU's is non existent). Am i right in thinking it would be cheaper doing a V8 conversion as opposed to 2JZ-GTE? (I say CHEAPER not cheap). Id be keeping my car an Auto and i have a TT autobox,prop and LSD sitting in my garage. Also the sump issue on the 1UZ engine am i right in thinking that on pre 93 soarers the sump was located to the rear which is ideal? Again any info that im likely to overlook or obstacles that are likely to take me by surprise in doing this please ad. Im not commited to doing this yet just looking at my options and trying to work out a budget? Thanks

was this it? http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?259091-My-Supra-Concept

nice pics!! did anyone else click straight on the pics with the girls?

silly Question maybe but is it not possible to do away with the VVTI?

Cheers chief, pm me your paypal details and price for signal booster posted.

Thanks mate, how much is it for the booster?

Done that also mate, however i thank you for your persistence.

Front: pre 95 - 296mm post 95 - 323mm Jspec, 323mm UK Rear: pre 95 - 307mm post 95 - 324mm Jspec, 324mm UK Am i right in thinking you are trying to upgrade toUK brakes? If so i think its about £600 for front brake kit and about the same for the rear...but dont quote me.

is it possible to order just a signal booster? ive got a terrible signal (works in wide open and high ground only)

Thanks mate everything is working fine and i understand the workings of it now, Im just left with the warning light issue...?
