  2. Hi mate. Interested in the lower springs. Still available?
  3. I found the brackets. Now only the ceiling is needed.
  4. Thanks for the replay phobos. I have ask around and I can't find anyone that can fix it for me. I will take pictures later of the areas where they are broken. i know that it is a very difficult to find part but if I never ask I will never get an answer.
  5. Hi guys. I am wondering if it's possible to find a speedometer of a LHD 6-speed that is broken in the front or wherever but with an intact PCB (Green plate at the back. Picture for attention). I have a speedometer but this green item is broken at several parts. I don't know if this can be fixed. So if I can find one then I can replace it easily. thank you in advance guys. Cheers, Manuel
  6. Hi guys. I'm looking for the following parts. The rear brackets/screws of the targa roof in good condition. Both sides. Ceiling of the targa roof. The inner targa roof ceiling need to be in good shape. I can put a new cover if what you have is not good. Thank you in advance. Pictures for attention.
  7. hi guys. I'm in need of the following items: - carter pan GE engine mid sump (not front) - GE engine loom - skirts Thanks you in advance.
  8. Check youtube: Otherwise type Toyota Supra NA -Nur Exhaust on youtube. that's my car with the Nur spec on a NA. Now I have TT and it sounds the same but less louder. But the sounds remain lovely.
  9. Everyone's own choice, but i will not change the beautiful lights of a Supra for something like this. The oem lights are one of the most attractive parts of the Supra. And for LED's? headache will start when one is burned...
  10. Whyyyyyy????? :cry: /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_sad.gif
  11. It's not hate. It's dissapointment. Personally I'm really NOT a fan of the new Supra for one reason: it looks like a BMW Z4. Interior and exterior. Look at the shifter, the steering wheel, the shape of the car, without naming other items. And sure, all your arguments are really true and I share them like you do. But, if you want to build a car together with other car company, who is your competitor, please be at least exclusive. Specially about the legend Supra. It would be soooooooo magnificent and cool if the new Supra could be like the FT-1. Original, full of style and with no other car to compare with. Own futuristic style, own design, own blue print. Now we talk and ask...is it a Supra or a BMW? And that is a shame. But like I said, it is my own feeling, interpretation and meaning. BMW has really nice and good cars, but we are talking about a legend here. Lexus developed the LFA together with Yamaha (Intake system---> heaven sound to anyone's ears inside the car), but does the LFA looks like a Yamaha? Or does the Supra 6-speed looks like other car who also has a Getrag trans? Or does any Sky-line or GT-R looks like other cars? Not at all. So if Toyota can't build there own legend then let Lexus do it (LC - LFA - RC-F - GS-F) and keep concentrate on building economic and environment friendly cars.

    Advice Needed

    Take a Lexus GS430 or 460 and if you want less consumption a GS450h (my daily). Lower it, put some nice wheels and voilá. You will not regret it. It has standard 350HP so there is fun in it. Otherwise a nice cheap ISF
  13. One thing is let them build some parts in a country and other is late them make almost the fucking car at BMW, with many look a like Z4 components and parts. Some parts of the LFA, like the air conductor to the engine, was developted and build by Yamaha, but you don't see anything of the LFA that looks like something form Yamaha. In this case the new Supra has a lot in common with the Z4. Nothing wrong with BMW, and for sure I agree that they ahve some bautiful and powerful cars, but we are talking about a legend. You don't build a legend copy pasting another car brand. It's a SUPRA!!!!! .....for God.....
  14. Yes they are. During the swap I found out that the prop shaft was a little bit to long for the distance between the gearbox and the coupling disc on the diff. So I asked a friend of my to measure the length of both gearboxes (he had both in the garage) and the were the same length. I advice you to search for a 370Z. These are for sure the CD009 and if you are lucky you can also find the Nismo one. If you want a 370Z trans with similar package than contact Marcel Wittke on FB. He is a friend of mine in Germany. Good quality and good price!
  15. Hi Noz. Yes, right now I'm running oem power. However, everything is installed to increase the Boost up to 1.3 Bar. Boost controlled and Piggy bag (Apexi both) installed. Next on my list are higher flow fuel injectors and fuel pump. But first things first, the beauty need a fresh paint so that will be my very next step. After that I will tune her with the right parameters to increase safely the boost pressure. Regarding the anti-reverse items. I am measuring and drawing the perfect item for this. During Christmas I will post what in my case is applicable to secure the reverse shift. About the costs.... So I estimate, including transmission and diff oil (trans is very expensive €24/oz), trans+prop shaft+adapter+Flywheel+ TT6-speed diff+Tilton cluth+Zspeed slave cylinder+mount bushes+Dakota Digital instruments for reading the right speed+abs sensors (i didn't have them on my car)+FenFab shifter+quick shifter+paying my friend for helping me, around the €7500. But this was in my case. What I see now is that a 370Z trans went from €1300 to almost €2000 because they know that more people are looking for them. Also some parts I found were very cheap for me. So this is a roughly estimation of the costs. For sure you end having a package that can hold 1000hp without any problem. A friend of my in Germany, Marcel Wittke, is selling these trans with some of these components for the Supra. You can get to him via FB. Right now he has 2 brand new 370Z and one new 350Z gearboxes available. Also a couple of RHD headlights Facelift and Glass and even a Supra 2JZ GTE VVT-i with a R154 on it. So if interested in something just ask him.

  17. Hi Noz. Well, compared to the W58 I don't think there is a big difference between them, both shifts very smoothly. I don't know how the V160 shifts so I can only talk from the W58 side one. The shifter itself is good but you need to make some adaptations on it. If interested I can explain exactly what to do. Beside the FenFab shifter I also bought a quick shifter from ebay (cheap to try things out) so I can get the reverse shifting lock like the oem with a V160 ( you need to pull the shifter up to go to reverse). Right now I freak out every time I want to shift from 5 to 6 since there is no mechanical restriction on the shifter to accidentally shift from 5 to reverse. So I actually shift with veeeeerrryy care from 5 to 6. I need to build a kind of plate with a restriction nut on it to avoid making this mistake. The quick shifter will works like the oem 6-speed shifter. But in general, the shifter and gearbox works very well and I am very happy with them.

  19. Hi guys. As promised, hereby some pictures of how the shifter looks with the FenFab shifter on the Nissan transmission. Here you can see the part I needed to cut to give the shifter free movement. Next step is to cut the oem rubber shift boot to guarantee as low external sound and smoke as possible. Now is a hell of noise inside the car when driving
