ANYWAYS... since i got this car at 98K and i dont know if the car had a 90K service so i decide im gonna do it anyways before i go back up for school in buffalo. I HAVE SOME very specific questions so can you please help me out! Thanks. I will do these all by myself with my friend (mechanic)

1)Oil Change : What oil brand and where to buy
2) Tranny Oil: What brand and where to buy
3) 6 Injectors: what brand where to buy
4) air filters: what brand where to buy
5) How do i know whether or not i need to change my timing belt, if so where should i buy it
6) water pump?

also when i drive on a silent street (w/o stepping on the gas , just lettting the car roll) i can hear metal spinning from one of my wheels... anyone know what the problem is? rotors?

GS430V8

overall looks great, are those 6000K fogs?

could be your brakes front or rear there or just a dust shield behind the rotor that is bent and scraping on the rotor. easyest way to find out is to take whe wheel off and look lol.

I used all OEM parts and fluids for my 90k service. You can't go wrong with that.

Why do you need all 6 injectors? Do you have a misfire dtc?

That scraping noise might be your brake pads hitting its sensor on the rotor, warning you, your pads are getting low. Get them check out before its too late to resurface your rotors!

isnt there six injectors b/c its a 6 cylinder engine? lol im confused im kinda car noob

Yes, there are 6 injectors but you don't need to replace them. unless one has failed which is very rare. If anything, go to a reputable service facility and have a full fuel service done to get all the gunk out as well as make sure you only use premium fuel.

i thought when you do a tune up you are suppose to change brand new injectors especially if mine are at 98K . I just wanna make sure i dont want any mechanical problems when I get up to buffalo. I dont trust the techs there!

You *can* but no one does and there is no real reason to with these cars. You didn't happen to own a Ford or anything before this did you? Your in the world of Toyota now

sUpErMaNGS

oh thanks for the information. I thought i had to change b.c my friend specializes in honda/acura and whenever he tunes up cars, he gets new injectors so i was just wondering O_O heh but how bout the motor and tranny oil got info to help me out with?

sUpErMaNGS

i dont know how many K are those i got them from the previous owner if anything ill find out

oil is a personal preference. me personally i been running 10w-30 FULL synthetic mobile1 and a mobile1 filter for years!
tranny oil.........go oem!
injectors....can get numerous ones........go with oem or the supra's oems
air filter......again a personnal preference! i have the k& n in my 430 but im fixing to get the hks!
water pump........most would say oem but on my 90k i went aftermarket as i found a kit on ebay with the idler pulley,bearing, timing belt,and water pump for like 150! it may have been cheaper but i dunno! personally i would get the trust (greddy) timing belt for yours.......they dont make it for mine unfortunately! also do your rear diff, and acc belt at the same time! oh and check the cam seals. i also did factory oem plugs, and radiator service!

DO NOT use Supra injectors among other reasons they are not the right size and your car will run like ***. There is no reason to replace your injectors unless there is something wrong with them, trust me.

instead of injectors, you might probly just change the sparkplugs.
