Beni supras are f**kin gay go to the supra forums

I can't wait to proove you guys wrong once I eventually save enough to buy a Supra haha.

ive got a 34R thinking of getting a 911 GT2 and you suggest a supra?....

what type of response were you expecting benji? haha

Lol, yeah but not just any Supra though, its Smokey's RB26 Supra which was made famous in Option dvd's etc.

If you like 911 and like track then go buy a 911 GT3 Cup car. They aren't as expensive as you might think, quite easy to maintain, and I don't think there is an easier way to lap a couple seconds off V8 supercar pace.

Supra- overweight and made for wealthy businessmen.

Supras only weigh about 20kg heavier than R33 GTR/R34 GTR.

You can easily minimise the weight of them.

Plus they were pretty successful in the JGTC series in Japan.

Orido "The Rodeo King" pilots a 500hp Supra for his daily driver.

Really?...

i thought a GT3 was a club/race version of the carrera and the GT2 was a club/race version of the Turbo.

The turbo being far quicker than a carrera, i would only assume a GT2 would be far quicker than a GT3.

I thought the body setup between the GT2 and 3 would be similar, but the GT2 has the bigger rear end and wheels and more power etc...

I dont know heaps about the the GT3, but thats just my thoughts.. may need to do some more research ha

Ah, your missing what I've said all along. Gt3 CUP car. It's the factory made race car to compete in the various one make series round the world. They make a road going version of the gt3, but the race version is obviously more hardcore. Go to my105 and look up gt3 cup cars. Obviously it's race only, can't be road registered. There are 996 and 997 versions, and you can pick one up cheaper than the Gt2. It's a trailer to track car, but they are the reason wtac bans rear engine cars, otherwise they'd win everything.

ahh right ok..

yea thats fair enough, not looking for an all out track car though. more just a fun weekend car that would see the track here and there..

and as road going ones go, i believe, in the 996 range anyways, the gt2 is faster than the gt3, but not hugely. but i like the idea and styling of the gt2 over the gt3 (always loved turbo cars).

Really??????!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll keep my fancy Datsun over a fancy VW thanks

HA yea..

Have a soft spot for 911s... And the one I'm thinking of i see as great value for a gt2.. I don't think I could sell the gtr though, so maybe just put off buying a house.... Again.... And have both haha

haha its the same weight as a gtr but its rwd? and its faster?? makes no sense.

no one cares about your supra your going to buy benji in 20 years when you finish uni, well all hve r35s by then, gtfo

hahaha ant buy a farkin house first ya knob!

I bet Benji goes on Supra forums and says how great his S15 is.

Actually Ant get house first and VW later

Okay....I am getting excitement quivers...

(Similar to the video below)

Why?

Well because the rear pads arrived today from the UK

soo brakes are going in tomorrow!!!!

(RDA Slotted Rotors, EBC greenstuff pads, New hardware kits, new silicone caliper hoses).

=D

Why the f**k would you order pads from the UK when you can get them local?

Good stuff benji, but i would throw the silicon brake line hoses in the bin. I beleive heat in the brake area will be to high and will potentially cause the hoses to soften - there only rated to ~100deg

Braided lines or stock rubber in that area.

They must have been out of stock in Aus....

Either that or they were cheaper from the UK (as thats where theyre made)....

I didn't order them haha.

Thanks!

Yeah, not sure if theyre silicone...I think maybe theyre just rubber, not 100% sure.

I didn't get the order organised for the brakes.

Having read this post for your own safety and everyone else's do NOT use the silicon hoses

Yeah, I think I must of got mixed up with the silicone hoses thing...I assume they'd just be rubber.

Not even sure whether they make silicone hoses for calipers..(dont think they do)

So I'll find out tomorrow.

Hey Matt

Got your message and have passed it on

Thunderbirds are go fr Thursday

Thanks man, appreciate it!!!!

Benji real cars fit Pads and Rotors..... Wtf is a hardware kit? Are you fitting a bench vice to your control arm?

Thanks!

Yeah, not sure if theyre silicone...I think maybe theyre just rubber, not 100% sure.

I didn't get the order organised for the brakes.

Didn't know if you just ordered off the shelf silicon hose line or a kit...but yeah... never heard of anyone using silicon hose for brake lines.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
