Or more so going and then stopping. Tires weren't even turning as pads and rotors were fused. Pretty sure driving would have broken them free but would rather make sure the pad and rotor contact would come free compared to pad breaking free off the pad backing. And of course need the side to...

I opened up the brake system only to find out there where a lot of problems. Pads were fused to the rotors. Rear driver caliper lower guide pin was seized. Driver e-brake shoe material broke off the shoe and fused to the rotor. Passenger top guide pin is bent and spins. And seemed like the...

Yuppers I did!! Also drilled out the j-tube.

halle freakin lujah the beast runs. Got everything back together and she runs. Buuuuutt!!! As f00g00 stated the walbro pumps doesn't have a built in check valve. So I need to buy and external check valve and figure out where to connect it. Anyone have any ideas on setting up a inline check valve...

Got the pump installed and in the tank. Will have the tank installed hopefully tomorrow. Then got to drill out the j-tube and then fire her up. Fingers crossed!!!

Sweet got my walbro pump in today. Question, I had ordered another cheap Chinese pump and it didn't have oil on it. I get the walbro pump and it has an oil on the pump. Is that normal to oil the outside of the pump? Should i clean the oil off?

So this means its getting power all the time as its venting to the air?

I'm so eager to get this pump and get it in and get her running. I do need to clean up my brake system as i see tons of surface rust starting to build up and wheels dont turn by hand. From what i see under the supra looks good other then some kind of oil leaks. After she runs, going to do a...

I did bypass it and it was the vsv that was the issue. The vsv tested good off the car but when plugged in doesn't open. Once I get the pump and install everything I will see if it works right after that if not got some more diagnosing to do.

Ordered the walbro pump. Should be here by Monday hopefully. But I still need to figure out why the fpr vsv isn't letting vac through after I get everything back together. Could the pump being restricted cause the vsv system from not kicking on? Maybe a safety feature toyota added?

"shalom" then break a glass cup.

Might strap some fireworks to it as well and shot those off as I'm driving. Post a video of that. Yeah it took some time and a ton of tools purchase to diagnose it. Also did swap a bunch of bad parts in the process. And learned a ton in the process. And this will help others in the future as we...

Ok pulled out the pump this morning. It has a newish SEP pump. Is this a good company? They also had a foam insulator around the pump, what would be the benefit to that? Good news inside of the tank is clean as hell. Will be ordering my walbro this weekend. Will also be checking other things...

Ok pulled the gas tank out today. Haven't taken out the sender unit yet as it took me time to pull the tank and clean to top of the tank of the dirt to prevent it from falling in the tank when I open it. I did realize the pressure line from the fuel filter to the sender unit was pinched. That...

Ok I got back into town yesterday. New fuel pump did arrive to my place. I will start dropping the tank tomorrow and swap the pump. Will keep you guys updated. I'm guessing it still has the original pump but won't officially know until I pull it out.

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm a bmw nut myself. I've owned a few myself over the years and loved the he'll out of them! My concern is the fact that owning bmw's I know how expensive repairs are and constant issues they face compared to Toyota's history of reliability. My older brother had a sc300...

I'm getting conformation on the s500, but what about the s320 caliber on stock rotor theroy? Is it true? I might buy just one side to test it out! Of course after i get the car running first!

I've watch that video a couple of times. I've read on another forum that he should have used the s500 or r350 rotors instead of the 350z rotors. Ive also read something about evo 8 calipers and sti rotors on the rear but requires modification to the rotors

I personally would post this thread on a bmw forum as most of the platform will be done by bmw as in engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, ect as they say. Toyota is only providing the body/frame of the vehicle again as they say. Also body looks a bit like a cross of GTR and LFA. Is it...
