Agreed, I've been unhappy with any of the bolt on turbo offerings. My Turbonetics unit wasn't any easier, although it did bolt to the exhaust manifold without a spacer.

I've never used the CRC stuff, but as long as it's sticky stuff that's high temp resistant and never really dries, it should do the same thing. I've used Permetex without the thin anti squeal shims before with good results.

Chamfer helps... so does the sticky spray on brake quiet. Spray the back of the pads before installation. I use the Permatex stuff, it's blue.

There are intrinsic problems with this as a strategy. The market for JZ / UZ parts *here* is very small. So small, you would never recoup your development costs. If you could appeal to their home market, you might have a chance... unfortunately, the JZ home market is SupraForums, and...

Are you talking about the recovering option that they sell? If so, it's really nice quality, a bit of a bitch to install, but ok if you have a GOOD set of side cutters and buy a pair of hog ring pliers. And a bunch of hog rings, of course. I did mine, they came out pretty damn nice. I...

Here's a useful reference, too... I use it as my wallpaper. :)

Different paths are a pain in the ass, but not impossible to deal with. I spend a fair bit of time on my Ubuntu box trying to remember where exactly something is located. I started writing it all down in a text file that I keep easily available. Once you've got that, most of the config issues...

Have you read http://viewvc.tigris.org/source/browse/*checkout*/viewvc/branches/1.1.x/INSTALL already? VPN is running Debian??? Blink... blink... Does that mean your linux distro is Debian?

Buying a clip was easy enough 5 years ago, but it's not so easy now.

Last summer. Only applies to parts that weren't originally available for the north american market.

I have the same problem when driving beside college co-eds without their shirts on. I'd rather we didn't ban that, either.

I've posted over there... http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?661856-Official-2012-PacNW-Supra-Nationals-Thread

The ability for coolant to inhibit corrosion only lasts for a certain length of time.

And *don't* turn the head upside down with the cams out, unless you really wanted to recalc and reshim the whole mess. Don't ask me how I know this, either. /me glowers...

Alternatively, post the car on Craigslist, and buy another one when you are ready to take it out of 'storage'. ;)

I've had this as well... in my case it was destroyed tires. Trying to get a little too long out of a set of R compound track tires...

You should add that to your signature so it's easy for my lazy ass to find.

I already pulled mine apart and replaced all the LEDs, the fact that some were failing, or had already died completely was driving me crazy. The new setup is certainly brighter than my old one was, however, there's no way to figure out if it's brighter than when they were new. I've been trying...

Ok, color me interested. I'd like the flashing to be significantly faster, though. A fair number of the big rigs around here are starting to convert to this type of brake light now, and I like it.

For a track car, what really matters is area under the curve, rather than rev limit. What you are looking for is something that produces a nice, flat, power curve over the widest RPM band possible. Mostly, this is achieved by engineering two main items - how soon in the RPM band you can build...
