Fair enough:) I haven't either, but there was always an outside chance that someone somewhere might have known a way. I'm grasping at straws now.
-
OK, the very excellent STT has sorted me with Chassis and Frame numbers for a car that came with these wheels. Does anyone know of a site where I can translate these details into OEM paint codes?
-
Thread Hijack! Apologies. Once flukey-lukey is sorted, do any of you have a full set of stock wheel nuts available?
-
The local Toyota place tells me that they can't help with a colour code as this colour wheel only existed on imports. Can anyone confirm/deny this? I'm not up to speed on Supra models.
-
The can says "acrylic lacquer".
-
OK, I'll try a different lacquer. Does anyone know the paint code for that wheel colour? I'll need to take that bubbled paint off.
-
Toyota AFAIK. I assume that this is the original paint. Did they not come in that colour then?
-
Wonder Wheels, then a good rinse, then Autogylm Interior Shampoo.

Picked up a set of 16 inch MKIV wheels this morning. First one got a good clean then I set about it with the lacquer. To my surprise it has caused the paint to bubble. As far as I know this is the original paint and I was using Carplan lacquer, which I have used before. What would have caused the paint to bubble like this? I don’t think that I have done anything different from other stuff that I have done and I have read threads where others have lacquered their MKIV wheels without problems. Could it be anything to do with ambient temp or humidity (it’s hot in Kent today)?

I bought one of those one-man bleeder kits but found that the adapters didn't fit my reservoir. Didn’t matter though, bled the brakes manually by placing the open end of the tube below fluid level in the jar that I was using and pumped the pedal. Worked fine, which was surprising as I had also read stuff on here about difficulties bleeding brakes and I was prepared for the worst.

D'oh!

Do you have the relevant information on the spool characteristics of those different turbos in comparison to your own? I'm guessing that the 4088 will be a bit different to the T61 for example.
-
That'll just leave the 17mm nuts then (the 21mm was for the wheels nuts). If you're lucky someone may have had them off the car recently and you might get away with it. However, if your mechanic is like some I know (there's no such thing as over-tightening - pass the air gun) then it's bloody knuckles time for you!
-
I'm looking for a set of 8J fronts and 9J rears. Are these still available?
-
Breaker bar, WD-40, 21mm 14mm 17mm sockets, 14mm spanner, copper grease for the sliders. Recently done fronts & rears on my Soarer and they the same parts as the J-Spec MKIV Supra.
-
Hmmmm. But MKIII wheels are cheap!
-
Does that mean too narrow? But that wouldn't mean that you couldn't use them in a MKIV would it?
-
Do MKIII Supra alloys fit on the MKIV?
-
Is this still on? I couldn't see any mention of it on the North Weald Airstrip website.
-
Did you get a chance to have another look? Any help appreciate here
-
Does your plan need to be that detailed? Who is the expected audience for it? If you use catch-all terms that cover preparitory activities as well as productive time will anyone know the difference?

Gav, At the risk of making myself appear even thicker than usual, from the wiring diagram below the 3 would be the 0-5v from the Emanage, the 4 would be ground and the 1 and 2 would form part of the circuit for the NOS? The 1/2 would be closed until a certain voltage was sent to 3? This is the diagram for the G3NA-205B.
-
Sorry mate! I looked at those items and there's a lot of electrobabble that's over my head. All I want is a relay that will switch according to an input voltage between 0v and 5v. Doesn't have to be scalable in any way, I just need to know what voltage the relay would require me to send from the Emanage. I would then wire the relay in with the NC as part of the nitrous circuit so that the voltage that I send will switch the relay to NO, thereby breaking the circuit and cutting off the nitrous. Can you advise which one of those would fit the bill?
-
Who is Gav?
-
Yes, I'd already thought of doing that but I assumed that I'd need something to convert the 5v signal to some form of solenoid control. Gav?
