Agreed of course to hitting it with things if those things are softer than the rotor (and you plan to keep it). Will mention 1) PB Blaster is legit, it does get into stuff and free it up, and 2) If you really go to town be sure about how you have the car up in the air and don't knock it off a...
What are you guys doing for the bolt that holds that damper which is in the way of getting to the plugs in the diff? Looks to be 28Nm / 21 ft lbs, but says to replace it (there's a dot by it in one image, and step a for getting it back together says to replace it). I find that odd. No way it's...
I use my turn signals, I swear it! LOL. Thanks, but I'm still embarrassed. I mostly snoop to get info that relates to the Z4 but occasionally know an answer to something, or at least think I do. Next time I pay for TIS access I'll have to have a look at the Z4 for this. I did find some PDF's of...
Sorry, 15 years on the BMW forums and having done the RSFB's myself. Not once has anyone mentioned TTY on these. To answer the question.
Also I certainly don't mind being beat up. Exchanged info needs to be accurate. I strive for that and hate to give bad advice.
I definitely stand corrected...
REALOEM would almost certainly have them under the G29 Z4.
In all the years of people swapping these bushings they've never mentioned TTY but you could be right. If you can find a Supra repair manual online, and they float around with links on this forum, you can check the torque specs and if...
Yeah I see that now. I read it as being bought with 5000 miles on it. There was a comment before mine that suggested the previous owner tracked it, so I went with it. I think they deleted their comment LOL.
I'd look up the procedure to bed-in brakes, and give it a try. It's free and it's worked for more than a few people I know 1st hand, and for me as well (in Colorado renting a car that had been driven in the mountains and had this same issue)
There's always a little pad material on the rotors...
I have an unopened bottle of this stuff in the northern side of the Twin Cities, MN. I don't want to sell it, nor do I want to ship it. But if you live in town nearby and want it (for free), let me know.
Small changes to the geometry of that pedal arm. They could relocate where the slave cylinder attaches so that a little less pedal travel is needed to do the same job. Metal bushings supposedly to reduce freeplay. I doubt I'd notice the change in freeplay if any, and it's entirely possible that...

I occasionally check their site for something like this, and there's now a page for it. Currently unavailable but I emailed and they said end-of-February for an ETA.
I found a Supra assembly...
You could try disconnecting the wiring at the amp. If another fuse doesn't blow, it could imply that something is up inside the amp. If another fuse does blow, it would imply that there's something up with the power wire between the fuse and the amp itself, maybe something pinched it in the...
Are you able to pull the codes? It'll tell you exactly which sensor is at fault.
It might be a rear sensor and it is near or actually behind the diffuser and isn't happy about the cover. The front ones are just inside of the tow hook for my Z4 and then of course equally placed on the driver...
I'll share a post on the BMW boards I bookmarked a while back. The gist is that the two coolants that you are describing can be mixed:

Supposedly they're identical except for the HT-12 addition, and of course the dye for...
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You have to get the ones you think look best.
If you want opinions though, the VS-5RS does look better, but that' sonly an opinion.
Apex sales come and go over the year, you should contact them and ask when the next one will be. Black Friday is always a...
If it's like BMW: Find your driver profile settings, export it to a USB stick, stick it in a Windows machine and open up the exported file with Notepad. It should say in the first few lines.
Thanks for the amp installation details BTW. I'm sure I'm not the only Z4 owner lurking around learning...
I had a reply in mind but it's related to coolant temps not oil temps. But I can't delete my reply so I guess I'll suggest filling the coolant and trying again.
There's a bleed procedure to run as well. Not sure the Supra steps but in BMW land it's a couple of things turned on, then you set the...
Sustained, sure. But for the first couple of minutes on a very cold day, I want that setting as high as possible to warm up the vent as well as the air in the interior of the car. Location may be a factor (MN, here). Personality too - I may live in the cold but hate being cold.
