Help replacing nut and ? on gear oil
Hey Guys,
During the 90k service that I did last weekend with my brother, I dropped a nut somewhere, couldn't find it and had to borrow one from the valve cover gasket. I went to the Toyo dealership and they couldn't help i.e. they don't stock it and don't know the exact nut to order. Does anyone know how I can get a nut to replace it?
During the TB replacement, I was planning to do the gear oil change but the toyo dealership doesn't sell the GL-5 oil. I went to the parts store and bought some universal oil that meets spec for GL-3, GL-4 and Gl-5 gear oil but I'm hesitant to use it because the oem book says you should use only toyo GL-5 oil as incompatible oils may cause your drive-shaft to seize up over time. Any recommendations?
Thanks,
Ken

I once asked the Lexus guys for a bolt to help hold on the skid plate. They told me to go to the hardware store since they don't stock those in-house. I took their advice, found a nice stainless looking bolt of the same pitch and size, and installed it. All's well. I would suggest you just get a suitable replacement from Home Depot.

You can definetly get something from the hardware store in a pinch and you'll be fine. That being said, I order nuts and bolts all the time from the dealer, for some projects it just makes more sense than spending time in the hardware isle. The parts people definitley dont want to look for it though, but if you go with a part number they are happy to just order it.
Not sure what you need, but find the part number here and order. And yes it won't be in stock most of the time but normally they have it very quick.

I just used http://lexus.sewellparts.com/accesso...X470-2003.html as they have diagrams online to help identify the exact part your looking for.
The diagram didn't show the part I need but i did find 3 other part numbers that might work.

I called local toyo dlrship and its on order. Hopefully one of them is the right one. If not its only $3.50 and I'll make my way to HD to find a nut.

By the way nice Supra!!! I owned 3 supra's ('85, '84, '88) before the family came...would like to get a garage queen someday. I'm still in love with the '90 - '92 models and would get one if I can find a clean unmodified one with low mileage.

Thanks, yeah luckily my family is just now coming, so since its paid for it doesnt bother anyone.
My neighbor had an 85 growing up, I still think those are awesome looking.
clean and unmodified is becoming a bit of a unicorn....and starting to pull major coin. They are out there tho...
