Well some fooker painted them silver, and yours are black........with nice Supra logos on.......so no. lol.

thanks And thanks for all the help guys, supra dan lives only 30 mins from me, so popping down there tomorrow after work, if his are a different type i will give dude a shout. Thanks a lot guys. I was a bit at the start of tonight and felt like having a but you guys.........well so now am away to have a

Only pic i have,but you get idea..........so what am i looking for guys ? A smaller J-Spec 2 pot yeah ?

Will post a pic of mine in a sec............hold on.

Feck.......this is gettin complicated now lol !! What about part numbers ? Are they stamped into the caliper anywhere ? I believe the J-Specs are only two pot and the UK are four pot ? So as long as i get a two pot caliper i will be ok yeah ?

Oh right i see ! Thanks Bobbeh I know that the UK bigger ones have "Supra" on the side of them and the smaller Jap ones dont, so is there any other way they can be different or is that it ? Michael

Oh great lol Any ideas what years they had bigger brakes from ? Can anyone shed any light on this ?

I would get someone to do it for you mate, like a garage, either that or make sure you have easy access to a spare set of calipers, cos it didnt take much for mine to crumble !!

I just did this job today, and while taking a pathetic 4 hours to get it all out, and only 1.5 to get it all back in lol, it is indeed a straight forward job. I have a set of suspension for sale if you need. I have 4 shocks and springs from a 1994 Supra N/A, two of the shocks are KYB and Two toyota. The springs may be lowering springs as the car sat really well when they were on, but i am not 100% sure on this. Let me know if you need any of it. Michael

Hmmm not a bad idea !

Woohoo ! Thanks very much mate ! Michael

Cheers for all the help with the caliper sourcing tonight guys, can someone please confirm for me if the J Spec N/A and J-Spec TT calipers are the same please ? Thanks a lot Michael

Common problem indeed, i believe its happening to a lot of people ! Its actually pretty scary as well considering how brittle they seem to be ! Thanks for the replies guys, PM on the way !! Michael PS......This forum yet again proves its worth in Gold. Superb.

Ok seeing as how i was fitting the Teins to the car this afternoon, i had the car up on axle stands and decided to do the brake fluid while it was in the air with the wheels off. One of my mates is a mechanic and he helped me, got all the way round the car, to the last caliper, the front passenger side, (nearside front) and went to unscrew the bleed nipple slightly. No stress whatsoever, and the whole bleed nipple AND A MASSIVE CHUNK OF THE CALIPER completely crumbles and shears off from the rest of the caliper !!!! So now i am stuck with my car on axle stands, which am not too happy about, and need to find a caliper as soon as possible. Can ANYONE at all help me please ? The car is a 1994 J-Spec N/A and its the Nearside front caliper (passenger) that i need urgently. I dont need the carrier part, just the centre caliper section with the piston etc. Would be VERY greatful to anyone who can help me out here. PM me please, or email me at michgellie @ aol . com (without the spaces) Thanks in advance Michael PS.......I am actually quite shocked at how easily this thing crumbled !

PM emin on the site, he is the main man to do this and doesnt charge the earth. Think his username is "Supra TT Meister" (spelling !?) on the forum. Michael

Sounds good, anyone got any pics ?

I think it looks pretty good ! Even with those 3 spokes, i dont like them all that much but they suit that car in silver ! Spoilerless is dependant on the car too. On this one i think he gets away with it without it lookin too stripped , looks good. Very sleek. Hope to see you at some meets this summer Grazer ! From one scottish member to another

Cheers mate !

Worked fine for me !

Jet wash is probably better........the one we have here is 1500psi rated and hot water..........you wouldnt believe the cack that comes out of folks arches lol

Very good point made there........... ..............then you can all come to me and have the outside made pretty too !

Or............. You could go for a stripped out, race prepped, bad ass 800bhp, T88 Trust Single Turbo MONSTER !!! Jap Drag Supra

Evening folks Just wondering if anyone knows if Tein Shocks are serviceable. Basically if so what can you do to them ? I dont know much about this, but for the price you pay for them, surely if one of them was playing up you would be able to do anything to it rather than buy a whole new set of struts ? I.e. Can you change the bushes at the bottom of the shocks, or regas them or anything like that ? Cheers in advance Michael

Best Wishes............hope it all goes spot on.

Hmmmm i wouldnt count on the South Park stuff selling for much Rosie lol folk will probably expect YOU to pay THEM to take it away hehe I used to have the entire collection of ORIGINAL star wars figures, darth vader carry case, millenium falcon, x-wing, and a few other bits...........sold them years and years ago..........now they are worth THOUSANDS for a set in mint condition.
