I have had the car for some time now and after some carefull research I have started the mods. I am very particular with what brands I use, I am NOT into rice and only do things that will actually improve the car (stickers excluded :) )

Basically the next three pics are of the car on the first day I got it and next to it is the shot I took today, note also what a good digi camera can do (real colour)

Mods so far:

Removed fog lights

Tint

Black grill

Lowered (CUSCO street coil-overs)

Wheels (18 x 8)

Exhaust (APEXi 3.5" from cat)

Filter (BLITZ pod)

Lights (changed rear lights to later model items, this is my favourite mod so far)

Thanks guys, the car has the 7mgte engine....I doubt I will spend much on it, instead I will go for a 1J/2J sometime next year. Til then I want to get an LSD, later model front bar for fmic and the side skirts....OK, so maybe a little rice in your diet is good for you :)

Cam

Nice!

I'd like to have a chat with you sometime about it... hopefully if all went well you can see a pic of my Soarer in the avatar

Apexi S-AFC

Koni Shocks

Still working on it! i estimate that i'm getting around 160rwkw (was getting 142 on 5psi) It has the body kit you're after with spoilers etc.... i know of someone selling some too!

Send me an email! I had to join up here just to reply =)

INASNT...yeh the "Before" photo's were taken on my old Fuji 2800zoom (2mp) and the new ones were on my latest toy...Canon 300d (6.3mp) to give you a better idea of quality from this camera here is another pic at 1/3 size and jpeg8 comp.

Thanks Danners, I have been wanting to chat with someone who owns one of these....what is your email ??

blown a head gasket yet?

i'm sure you have done your research, but if not go to: www.supras.com and make sure you re re-torque the head bolts or the head gasket will let go.

this is coming from an ex-ma70 supra owner (it had the 7M-GE)

btw... love the car it looks awesome!

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • 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!
