The filter bypass valve does what the name suggests, it bypasses the filter media when the differential pressure across the media reaches a pre determined diff pressure. Even if it is jammed wide open or you left it out completely it wouldn't affect oil consumption. It would affect other things...

In my view yes. As soon as you have skin in the game it's extremely hard to eliminate bias, it happens unconsciously. The only true test is either a blind test or a means of measurement. When the engineering/physics doesn't support what you feel you are unconsciously biasing the result. Totally...

Nope. You won't get more torque delivered to the wheels due to a diff brace. Same as you won't get more torque delivered to the driveline with solid engine mounts. Phil

Nothing wrong with stock height. If you drive it in the real world of course. Phil

Anymore images of your car with those wheels. Like the wheels and the wheel colour. Phil

There is an overriding condition with regards to warranty here in Australia and that is "fit for purpose" Even if a component fails outside the warranty period the manufacturer can't just fob you off if it fails far earlier than what is considered a reasonable life. So the Supra oil pump falls...

As I said 2 posts ago the tail shaft centre bearing. Phil

Well not so fast. Did the issue arise after you changed the battery ? if not then change the battery again and keep fingers off the battery terminals and use a cotton but and iso alcohol to clean the key contacts. It's not that unusual for new batteries to be undervoltage or low on capacity...

He's discounted that in the original post. Phil

Ok I'd look at the tail shaft centre bearing. Phil

Look like tiling wedges to me. Available at any hardware store. Phil

A more accurate title to this thread would be a V8 "styled" Supra to compete in the Aus Supercar series. I mean it's hardly a Supra. Phil
