Hi good to hear you have your car going. I've been following this thread for a while. I know owning a supra is not a cheap car to have but still good to hear you are still working on it. Cheers

Hi, I just bought a 2nd hand drop tank with sender. I would like to know do I need to install an external pump and dampener to the tank and where can i get the power to the for the external pump. Cheers.

Before starting the engine light should turn on then off to tell that there are no errors in the ECU. If the engine light is on while running then you have an error. The error could be anything from a bad o2 to tps you need to short some of the pins in the diagnostic port or a tech1 style cable...

if you want power get a custom grind cam made from wade without geting an aftermarket ecu, heavy duty valve springs, extractors, shiftkit, LSD with higher diff gears, stall convertor to match the cam and diff gears (approx 2500rpm stall), larger throttle (65mm from the V8) improves throttle...

NGK Iridium are mainly for cars which have hard to access spark plugs (ie plugs facing to the firewall and a intank over them) and they don't need to be changed as often as the normal plugs (60-100k for iridium and 10-20k normal). Just stick to normal plugs as there are no real increase in...

condensation from the exhaust means that the engine is tuned and there is nothing to be worried about unless its blowing blue or white smoke.

It would be the CAS if the car is hard to start when the engine is hot.

Browns springworks in thomastown might compress springs for you. Not sure about the price. A few of my friends have there springs compressed using ultra low's but I haven't done it personally. With compressed springs the springs would have no major effect if done properly return back to its...

You can goto Suspension City in North Melbourne or GT suspension at Flemington. Cheers

The genuine GM tranmission cooler uses the same as B&M core. It aids mantain shifting quality as if the tranny is cold and it would prolong the life of the box. I have fitted a genuine tranmissoin cooler and it's bolt on modificaton and it's worth every single cent. Cheers

Road Tax would be around $520-530 in geelong as it's cheaper then cars from Melbourne as it doesn't matter the type of car it is as they priced it by area. As for insurance third part fire and theft would be under $400. Just car and AAMI has a quote system on there website.

First is to remove the fuel pump fuse and start the car until the car stalls to remove excess fuel in the lines. Then just unbolt the fuel clamps and take the filter out.

It all depends on the drive style and what rotors and pads you have to get that much wear. I've had ultimates with slotted/xdrill rotors (GM disc with aftermarket machining) did under 50-60k on the disc and the pads about 40k on ultimates and 20k on QFM with the VT setup. My brother car has...

It could be the throttle spring. open and close the throttle and see if it returns quickly or slow. Also you have the cruise control on when you do the kickdown? Another way is to disconect the cruise control module cable and see if the throttle stick when you drive. Cheers

They are different. The V8 is double diaphram where the car would have some braking power with a cam (where there is nearly no vacuum at idle). The V6 has a single diaphram which is no real different for a stock engine. But if the car has a cam with the single diaphram the brake pedal is spongy...

I'm running greenstuff with DBA x-drill slot rotor all round with the VT front setup for over 6 months. Definatly better then the ultimate pads in dust and braking and slightly lower rotor wear (got brake fade after 4 hard braking, greenstuff none so far). QFM is good pad where it doesn't...

Have you checked your tranny fluid? If the fluid is full take it to a transmission specialist to determine the problem.

The main reason is that the wheel geomertry has been altered to minimise camber which minimise tyre scrubbing on the inner side hence the increase of height. Also a strut brace does fit with the bearing plates. Cheers

It's all upto you to decide which one to buy. They do totally the same purpose. If you have money to spend get the SS induction. If you are on a budget get the VS S/C intake.

I've had vs stateman horns fitted but changed them to hella. Sounds like the modern BMW and Astras

Pacemaker extractors , 2.5' carsound (magnaflow) hiflow cat, 2.5' Redback system

Just cut the wires and join them if all the colours match up.

It depends on the concentration of the coolent you use. For concentrate I would use 5-6litres and the rest is water.

I'll go stright gas if I use the gas injectors also if I'm rebuilding my engine specifically for gas. Cheers

VT brakes can be used on the 1' master cylinder which can fit the standard booster on the car. The double diaphram booster would be used if the car has a cam (no vaccum on idle). I've had the VT conversion for 4years and it better then the standard brakes. If you do not have the money get the...

The fuel pump is having its last legs. if the pump doen't prime when the ignition is on then your pump is dead. If the car does not idle the pump can not supply enough fuel to the engine.

It sounds like you need to change the entire handbrake leaver. Get a manual and it would tell you how to change it.

The tranny cooler is quite good for cars with shiftkits which I found when tow heavy. I found holden cooling kits uses the same cooler as B&M and the pricing is simular. I saw on repco having the pwr cooler and reasonably priced.

Goto holden the pricing are identical to ebay for normal rotors (when I did pricing 2weeks ago).

Yes Koni's yellow are worth its money, Koni yellow are fully adjustable while the specials have limited adjustments but does not have the sports valving and damper oil. I've got them because they are rebuildable (about 90 for regasing or 240 for revalving and major repairs) and the ride can be...

Bilstein and koni are the best types of shocks going around unless you are looking for coilover. Bilstein and koni's are rougly priced the same the only different is that bilstein have thicker shafts but not adjustable like koni yellows (sports). The specials are normal shocks which are...

That is ture because all issues with the car would been sorted long time ago. My car has never have serious issues (3 water pumps, 2 thermostates and 1 fuel pump, p/s pump and hose in its life) also I service the car regually. Cheers

I like to know what plug gap should I run 1.3 or 1.4? Thanks

With the denso iridiums from toyota I got told they would last for 20000km. They told me that the OEM ones (comes with the factory engines) are the to go for as the last upto 150000km. I don't know much about the NGK type. But the spending $100 for plugs which last 20000km I think spending $15...

Since when my dad bought it new in boxing day 1990. Looks new and still going strong

As for the cabling connecting the lights stright up would melt the wiring over a period of time. For connecting the lights use a 20amp cable and power to the relay.

Ideally driving lights should go though a relay. You have to find which connection of the switch power which would be the trigger (86), then a main power (30) can use 15-20amps, (85) would be the ground and (87) would be connected to the driving lights. I give you advise the holden relay in the...

I've been going to them for quite a while. They are top blokes and they are very understandable in what you want. They fitted my extractors on the spot and there is no waiting/bookings. You can't much service like that anymore... Cheers

Try autosol or mothers metal polish

Tighten the links up till the bushes are tightly fixed. Too remove them the best way is to loosen both sides and fit the links to the control arms first.
