Dunno if this is in the right section but I thought someone might be remotely interested:

This is what has consumed me for the past few years...

1984 MA61 Toyota Supra

1988 Supra Turbo engine conversion (7M-GTE w/ highflowed turbo @ 13psi, 550cc injectors, 2.5" flowed intercooler piping, Apexi SAFC2, 600x300x76mm intercooler, 3" cold air intake into guard)

Standard W58 5 speed w/ heavy duty clutch and flywheel

Truetrac LSD 3.9:1 ratio (looking to go to 3.5:1, 3.9 is way to short)

326mm Brembo front rotors w/ 4 piston calipers, 308mm front rotors w/ twin piston calipers

17x7.5" BSA rims, with Toyo Proxes T1R rubber

tokico shocks F&R

king springs F&R

whiteline adjustable swaybars F&R

RA60 front strut tubes (easy 2 deg negative camber)

Everything else has been reconditioned/replaced over the years... except the gearbox I think!

Black Interior swap from other MA61 Supra

Full respray and rust cut out in Black

And more stuff but it's pretty boring...

Everything engineered and legal. Does winton is around 1:47 but it was my first time on street tyres, I reckon I can get quicker with non-warped rotors :P. Also made 227rwkW at 12psi and 630Nm in 4th gear (equates to around 500Nm at engine).

Really hate the untasteful cars around nowdays, the aim was to create something that fit in the 80s but improved on every mechanical aspect. Stock power is around 138hp at the fly (SOHC 2.8 six), now making around 400hp at the flywheel (DOHC 3.0 turbo 6).

Handles very well, considering it was conceived as more of a big GT than sportscar (I've certainly turned that around). With the new tyres, LSD and neg camber I couldn't get it to understeer in a motorkhana :D

Doesn't have the solid "stuck to the road" feel of the GTR but almost feels lighter and edgier... dunno :blink:

I've got some R-Specs and a Haltech ecu there waiting for some funds to finish the car off. Hopefully with a bit of ignition control I can see 250rwkW.

When I bought it:

Anyway thats it! I've got an old V8 merc too that gets 20l/100km which is a pain in the arse

cheers guys. yeah it's a very different machine to the GTR, lots of fun though. Got any pics of your JZA80 N1GTR?

As for knight rider, i was bored and used my phone video editor to make a montage of clips of it to the knight rider theme... i thought it was amusing :cool:

as for pics of the merc, don't have many yet. it's a bog stock 1982 380SE in gold, with a lot of structural rust and 20l/100km. it's a south african one though, so it goes a lot harder than the aussie ones (no pollution crap, did the 1/4 in 15.8!!! :down:)

there are a few vids of it on my youtube channel, username ryleyma61...

thanks again :rant:

just search for supra under there ;)

it's still costing me money, gotta get myself an oil cooler now!! only thing is the 7M just doesn't have the manic howl of the RB26... :( more of a meaty vaccuum cleaner :(

but it is a hell of a lot of good fun to drive, pretty light and very nice chassis balance... springs are a little soft, which i will fix, and i'm going to try and adapt an RB26 strut brace to fit the supra :bunny:

haha

cheers,

ryley :yes:

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
