Supradan Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Have had my supra for about 4 mths and i was very dissapointed in the performance so much so i was contemplating trading it in for an mr2 turbo. Got so pissed off with it today as it seemed to be getting worse that i spent about 20mins with my head under the bonnet and guess what i found.......... The bloody throttle cable adj nut was working its way back down the thread .......ever since i have had car i cant of ever had more than 2/3 throttle its now down to half!!!!! so i tightened nut up and dabbed a bit of loctite on thread took the car out for a spin ......WOW now i know why you guys love em so much what a difference its responsive its fast and i am now very happy so happy in fact i am gonna reward myself by getting it fully de catted lol:ecstatic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chiefvinso Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Didnt you think it was odd when you bought the car - I would not have bought it if it wasnt performing. At least it is resolved now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilli Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 lol that's excellent, just think, if you'd have traded it in then you would never have known what you were missing out on, enjoy it be carefull of you newly found bhp on the slippery roads though!

JohnA Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 If you think that adjusting the throttle cable made such a difference, imagine having a turbo from 2K-odd rpm:eyebrows: Then imagine *another* turbo kicking in at 4k rpm:drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supradan Posted January 11, 2006 Author Share Posted January 11, 2006 Well have just ordered 1st and 2nd de cat pipes for my revitalised supra.Cant wait to see what difference it makes.How easy are these to fit, ihave no ramp i would be working under axle stands,brrrrrrrr.

chilli Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 can be done at home, in theory it's just a few bolts but the end by the turbo can suffer from studs that snap off - doh, I prayed when they did mine and they were ok. You could just ask a local garage to do it, mine charged me £50 for the whole fitting and TBH it was worth that not to crawl around on the floor under axle stands. This is one job a local garage can do (if they are any good at all) - no special knowledge needed. It will transform the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 but the end by the turbo can suffer from studs that snap off - doh, I prayed when they did mine and they were ok. If he finds a turbo he's going to be well chuffed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 lmao, ooops sorry didn't see that bit - yeah that would be a turn up for the books wouldn't it! step 1 - get full throttle from only 1/2 throttle step 2 - fit de-cat and find 2 turbos nice...
