Sorry guys, no particular reason for posting this. Just feeling really good right now and feel like sharing.

Had a few drinks, heading out tonight for a friend's birthday, just finished exams and best of all: picking up my new car tomorrow - a '94 non turbo Supra.

Carsales pictures are terrible, but this is basically what it will look like (same kit, and no spoiler):

Only mine is bright yellow with white wheels. To be honest, I don't know if I like the kit, but mechanically the car was top notch and the body/interior was mint. Cosmetics are cheap to fix.

More pics will come, promise!

Man you finished exams already? lucky you. i still got two more to go next week. Good timing to get your car too. I reckon i may have gone the supra route if i cuold have afforded a twin turbo model at the time. I reckon you are better off sellin the UNR34L plates to someone with a 34, n get a new set of customs for your new ride?

Have fun man, enjoy the new car.

man - i still have a soft spot for supras! Looks good man.

i remember i was sooo close to buying one - and then i drove a gtst - couldnt afford a TT supra or a gtr, so went for the gtst (couldnt go back to an NA after it)

now after seeing your pic, im thinking if i should go test drive a few twin turbo supras :(

Try an NA one, they pull surprisingly hard. They're something like 130-140rwkw.

As for the kit, I didn't like it much at first either, although it is growing very quickly on me. I'm doing a hobby spray painting course with a mate of the next few months. So we plan on whacking a subtler kit on and giving it a fresh respray.

As for the plates; they only held on to the grill by those zip lock things. The previous owner only put the bar on it a month or so before I bought the car and hadn't bothered to mount the plates. One of my mates is already working on a bracket to hold the plates in place.

BTW, if you don't like the kit you should've seen the wing that it came with. Seriously, it puts Evos to shame.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
