So you just poked a bolt down through here: and put a nut on the underside here?

yeah and it doesn't help that its actually quite awkward to see past the fins when you're jacking it from the rear. I took some photos today while I had the car up on the lift so will update the original post in a minute to add some pics and highlight the correct areas

Seen a few people asking about lifting points for this car (and someone saying you shouldn't jack from the diff), so just to set things straight here are the official jacking points from the Toyota workshop manual. Full manual can be downloaded here: https://gofile.io/?c=ncDuuU So basically...

People in america running 600 bhp with meth injection and upgraded turbos etc, so I can't see why the stage 1 litchfield map would be an issue for the gearbox. I emailed them the other day as well so will see if they get back to me this week

The service manual calls for 0w20, so going up to 5w40 is quite a bit thicker than that and its an oil designed for diesel engines not petrol. Not sure I'd risk it myself, especially knowing how tight some of the bearing clearances were on previous BMW engines. If I remember rightly people did...

Yeah it is definitely a can of worms like you say, but all of the articles I've read suggest that it takes several months/years for the brake fluid to absorb moisture and get to its "wet" state. Supposedly around 2 years before your average brake fluid will be at its wet boiling point figures...

Found a copy of the workshop manual in PDF format with bookmarks and everything: https://gofile.io/?c=ncDuuU

You can jack from the diff and from a section on the front. Screenshot taken from official Toyota workshop manual

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. Any reason you didn't go for the RBF660 stuff? That's what I was going to use. Has a higher boiling point than the RBF600 stuff (when new anyway). I hadn't considered the pads just not being up to the job to be honest but that is a good point. Doesn't...

I know most road cars suffer from brake pedal going soft and spongy after a few laps on track due to the brake fluid boiling. I'm doing my first track day in the supra next weekend and thinking it might be worth preempting that problem and putting some better fluid in it, but just wondering if...

brakes get pretty damn hot, won't normal printed stickers just melt? or at least just come un stuck from the adhesive heating up? I assumed would have to be some special high temp thing

Picked mine up from the dealership today. They didn't mention anything about breaking it in gently... so I didn't

Just going through the workshop manual and although I'm slowly turning it into a nice PDF anyone can download and browse easily, that might take some time. So for now I thought this list of various fluid capacity figures would be a useful thing at have posted here for people to easily find...

As for the original question - I've been ignored by Litchfield before when I had another car I was considering getting them to tune, so I'm not particularly keen on giving them my business now. I'm still waiting to hear back from Ecutek about how their ECU flash is coming along. But if that's...

I thought that originally... but just seen two guys in the USA be denied warranty on steering rack issues because they had the car mapped (well one of them didn't even get it mapped, they just had it on a dyno to get stock figures). Pretty ridiculous. Full video explanation of both cases here:

You say people wouldn't like that, but that's exactly what people do for other cars I've worked on. The PDF version of the workshop manual for the GT86 and 350Z I worked on recently were over 1000 pages. Yeah its not always super easy to find stuff, but its better than everyone having to buy a...

Ah nice, thanks for that! I didn't find that post before as its in the Wheels/Tires section. Funnily enough I actually asked my local Toyota dealership if there was any online service like this and they said no. Told me I'd have to ring them up whenever I wanted to know the torque specs for any...

Yeah I made my own manifolds for my twin turbo 350Z so this should be relatively easy in comparison like you say :) Thanks I'll send you a message, my name on there is ChrisDrift_IG

Ahh thanks, that explains the confusion then. Yeah I'm tempted to make my own manifold (or whatever we're calling the little bit that joins the turbo to the head after the stock internal manifold lol) so I can have whatever turbo I want on it rather than being forced to go with the Pure...

Can anyone explain what is meant by "they switched over to DME tuning"? Doesn't DME just basically mean the same as ECU, so "DME tuning" is what all of these flashes are doing no? My local tuner here in the UK has suggested going for Bootmod3 to get more options than we would get with a...
