Gear box problems......nope had a slight leak in the gearbox from a leaky seal. and the car has been on jack stands for ages cause he is doing some work to the body work to the front spoiler was too low..... and just got the spoiler resprayed, and the wheels will go into the body shop for a coat of pearl bluey purple paint. (the one that changes all different colours!

anyway that is wat has been happening to the Supra look very sad with no wheels on it no front noise and on jack stands........a classic Toyota! will look sweet when back on the road!

yeh they guy i bought it off said he would do it cheap, cos the colour can't be matched up and it would look dog ugly cos the pearl will not be the same.. so he has offered to completely repair and respray the whole car... AGAIN

Latest things I've seen here (which may or may not have been here for yonks) were:

-JZA80 supra with crazy heavy metalflake flip paint,

-a nice silver JZA80 with some veilside style stuff and white rims (and no F&F rice like some other Hobart cars...)

-white S13 silvia with black/polish mesh SSR or volk style rims, very drifty looking, maybe a trust style front bar (currently seems to have none)

- and the best the one that makes me drool every time I see it, Passage GTS (4dr pillarless R31)down here, black/charcoal, late R32 ECCS motor and box, twin plate clutch, greddy FMIC, HKS oil cooler, 'mechanical' LSD, JIC damper adjustable coilovers, cusco castor/camber kit, massive exhaust, Bride black/grey drivers seat, sabelt (IIRC) harness.... It came from JMS.

The Black 33 isnt bad looks the goods, except the wing, looked out of place, but very nice all the same.

Steve's supra is gonna look mad when its back on the road, not that it didnt before. Hmm, I heard it was having gearbox problems aswell, cant remember who told me

hehe, ive been offered one 4 free, but i really don't have the time to frig around with all the custom oil feeds to the head, and i am not too confident in many ppl down here working on my cars, tend to do everything myself, but there is only so much u can do.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
