Progress report, STAT! :)

STOP: Spin Tires On Pavement

Copy on the snap ring, I've only pulled the clutch twice so far with another install coming soon on my build... Newb :] Chutny: hmm i read large gap as not having slid the pressure plate rearward lol the starter is a pair of 14mm bolts and nuts, the upper bolt near impossible due to its access...

For the starter, it need to be fully removed, both bolts and unit. You have the r154, right? The snap ring on the clutch release bearing must be removed. First properly support the transmission and reinstall a couple bell housing bolts because you will be squirming around trying to do this...

It must be on a stand if he's use an impact gun...

HAHAHAHA I haven't boosted since september, but i think so. Maybe thats how the $20-on-the-dash trick works so well ;)

To anyone that doesn't already know, R compound tires don't talk as loudly as normal compound tires. Making R compounds squeal means your on a thinner envelope between having control and going into a slide since they don't change tone as noticeably, if at all before releasing grip.

This made me smile :) What material is ideal to use for the shimming of the pump? some washers?

Beautiful work and well thought out vision made reality, its been a treat to read your build thread!

Thank you for the correction on the circulation of flow from the water pump. I still stand by the thermostat being a valve nonetheless :) Thats a great reason to check valve lash if it the head really was that stripped down for removal during the headgasket change. How often/hard is it to fry a...

Some people have an abrasive sense of humor. What if he's stoking the fire of debate, or just a pessimist wondering what new fad will come of this discussion? Ask a smart question and you might get a worthwhile answer ;)

I've got crappy fast fading pads that need the assistance of engine braking if i'm going from illegal velocity to dead-stop ASAP. A serious downshift will buy me a couple lengths off the total stop distance, these cars can STOP. It would make sense the engine stops sending fuel during engine...

A lot of work went into the SC. Why would one walk away from that beautiful creation??? How does one in possession of a 1jz deal with smog in cali?

LOL I suppose is a half-full half-empty perspective thing. I drive her easy but lay into the throttle lots anyways. I just don't like to be all loud with the exhaust if i can help it.

Jetjock: Generally its the people that don't focus on the road who get into accidents which makes them the ones that can't drive ;) And i hate people that weave through traffic!! Crisp: Decelerating is all about what i'm doing in the car moment to moment. If I'm hotrodding around...

the shims' job is to correct valve lash from the cam lobe to the lifter bucket, they will not have an affect on spring pressure to keep the valves seated. Usually piston rings develop blow-by before valves start leaking. Try a bit of oil in the low cylinder to help the rings seal up, that should...

You don't need a return, just dump that shit on the ground and GO! VRRROOOOOM!! jk Here's a relevant link i searched for that took about a minute to find: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?93788-1JZ-Vacuum-Routing&highlight=vacuum+diagram

If the rad hose never softens when the car cools, your thermostat is installed facing the wrong direction. Fix that quick! The side with the spring faces into the water neck. The toggle valve should be at the highest point to permit air bubbles to pass. CUT OFF the toggle valve, doesn't do any...

Update the software to at least 4.68, that version cleared up the sputtering for me. You'll have to fiddle with the settings again as there are additional features. Newest software (5.22): http://www.fullthrottletech.com/showthread.php?t=3938 How to upload...

Instead of installing different pads i just turned the rotors as the machine shops likes me and only wanted $20 for the rears. Smoooooooooth like butter, very nice :)
