I have this switch when its turned on my car moves quickly... when its off not so quickly

Been kinda MIA a while, cool thread

okbobbo · 09-20-09, 10:28 PM

Bought the car in May. 174,000 miles. Dealer maintained until my kids bought it. Replaced rear struts and boots, one was leaking. All suspension is stock. After two months noticed the car is 1/2 to 3/4 inch lower on driver's side, measured at the top of the wheel wells. Don't know if it was this way before replacement.

Was told this was not uncommon. Also, read that early models, being designed for the home market and right hand steering were biased for heavier weight on driver's side (right).

This is a daily driver, runs and rides very nice, just sits funny. Would like an inexpensive fix.

I'm almost sure the spacers will eliminate the rubbing issue in the wheel well and should still not rub the fender.

I'll double check the clearance on the harness. 15mm spacer is very tempting but it will not clear the fender (at least i don't think so). Here are some pictures i took just now. Keep in mind that I took the pictures from the bottom pointing up to show how far it is from the fender. The tire is tucked in if you are looking straight through at the fender level.

I don't know what you want to consider a inexpensive fix ,but anything with suspension related components won't be cheap. Since you have over 100,000 it would be a good idea to replace your suspension parts other then the rear struts. The springs have most likely have settled and possibly leaning to one side. Depends on driving conditions and whoever drives it. If you beat the car up and bend parts you will have a lean and alignment pull. The question is it it worth replacing the parts if your not going to own the car for much longer?

A 62-65 is close in size to a gt35r. Also may wanna check out a gt35r hta

John, need help with a wheel off-set. Would a IS off-set fit a GS? Thanks

turbo size right now is irrelevant until we know how much power you want to make

Before you answer this question keep in mind a couple things....

1. These cars are as heavy as a small country and need at least 450+whp to move nicely.
2. Sizing the turbo TOO small for sake of response will bring up a dynamic compression problem, which will really hamper your ability to make bigger power down the line.
3. Fuel requirements
4. How high is your credit card limit

Glad I found this thread.. Had a couple wheel questions?

Where can I find some hub centering rings for my Sevas wheels to match the Lexus center bore.

I have a set of Sevas 3 piece wheels that I'd like to refinish. Can I removed the centers without removing the tires?

No Credit card will be used to build My Car!!! LOL Seriously. My question exactly was Which turbo was very similar to the GT35R. No need to know what power im aiming for right now! Im just parting together a setup where i need a turbo that has the relatively same efficiency as the GT35R!

Answer to the 1st Q. bring the wheel to SAT and I'll check the center bore for you free of charge.I might even have the size you need ..

2nd Q. No !! I wouldn't the pressure of the air in the tire will definitely split the barrows .Just take them apart it would a lot easier in the long run..

Could I use a GTE intake manifold on a GE? Im asking this on behalf of my friend I didnt know exactly so i figured i asked her! If not where could i find a intake manifold that does not cross over the top of the motor?

No, the GTE bolt pattern is different than the GE. If you really wanted to I guess you can Fabricate one using the GTE top and weld it to the GE runners but I don't think it would be worth it. There's some aftermarket ones that were made for the GE; Hypertune, Virtual Works, and FSM. There's even some people over on the Supra forums that have designed their own from scratch...Good luck!

I disagree...a power goal is always the first step in sizing a turbo.
