first off why does it always seem every question or idea i have, bleedspeed you already tried or asked it lol

but anyways im looking at going 1.5jz hopefully ill find someone with a blown 1jz lol
just go to a junk yard man and find a w58 there, maybe even a r154, those things are kinda like a dime a dozen here in vegas, always see atleast 1..

no offense but supraforums, and clublexus always seem to be expensive to me..
try and check out zilvia.net..believe it or not i found some good stuff on that website my man

great minds think alike
i have scoured salvages for sc parts in htown and never seen a single 5speed. all autos. this city is full of import tuner guys and its hard to find any sc in the salvage. and then they wanna price gouge on parts anyway. the only way to get a good deal here is self service yards and sc's get picked clean fast. i called about 20 yards looking for a pair of door panels and only 1 had a pair. i am about to start traveling out of houston to hicktown yards though might have better luck.

U can. See from the pic any a01b will be fine. Or any 10bolt 8" centre and u swap it in ur existing casing keeping ur own crown wheel and pinion which will retain the currwnt diff ratio. Its not a 30min job but neither is the headache of goint auto to manual.
Incorrect. You need a JZA80 LSD. The more common JZA70 LSD don't fit.

Open differential was standard for NA Supra's. LSD was optional. You'll be hard pressed to find an NA diff with LSD. The turbo's are all LSD but the prices are steep. Minimum 700 forum price and this person on eBay wants almost 1400.

so lsd is way down the line. i dont want to get ahead of the game i signed up for.
#1 5 spd swap
#2 suspension
#3 exhaust
#4 paint
#5 wheels

LSD is really important. Watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWkTkfrkv44 video and found out why. As the video says an open differential only puts power down to 1 wheel, a LSD puts down to both wheels.

The LSD Centres are one thing. the differential casing itself is another..
finding a Differential may be hard, but in many cases the torsen unit is much more easily obtained.

This is what is inside your Differential.
The picture is MY open centre that i took out of my differential when i put a torsen centre in.
As you can see its a 10bolt...

so unless someone here thinks they need the 12 bolt...
here is a centre for under 400.
just make sure it looks like the one in the ebay picture if you ever buy one.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-T...item20ba155450


Center vs. centre

There is no difference in meaning between center and centre. Center is the spelling in American English; centre is preferred in British, Indian, and Australian English. In Canadian English, centre is the noun, and center is the verb.

So my apologies on your headaches, It was not my intention to hurt your brain.

LSD is per differential and not transmission. That Kaaz LSD will work on all the differentials besides the Supra 6 speed.

If you want a fun to drive vehicle I would go with a manual swap, LSD and suspension.

Exhaust will do very little power wise.

Wheels/Rims and Brake kits are a double-edges sword, they'll give you better handling and better stopping but with such a weak engine you'll feel a noticeable power loss.

@soarer93 your spelling makes my head want to explode.

best way to answer your question about a Kaaz LSD is to understand that it is a variation (type) of Limited Slip.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited_slip_differential

Torsen is another variation. so its neither Better or worse, but different and suitable to different driving styles and needs.

"If you want a fun to drive vehicle I would go with a manual swap, LSD and suspension." this really sounds like what i am shooting for. not over the top power just fun and a good road hugger. sounds like solid advice. any ideas on where to mount the rocket launchers?

drilled and slotted rotors are rice. less metal means you get less friction and less stopping power. prone to cracking. wear out your pads faster too. only time i'd ever consider using drilled or slotted rotors is on the track.

stainless steel lines are amazing. night and day difference. Techna-Fit is really high quality. they use teflon with stainless steel and an extra layer of pvc for protection.

bbk or bust

oem torsen diff is good but you'll need to buy the whole pumpkin just to get it at a reasonable price this makes Kaaz a better buy for the price unless you plan to go turbo.

yeah if anything na-t down the road. i dont yet feel the need for big power just want sporty and quick. i can see where drilled rotors would wear pads and crack. good point. this thread is getting expensive lol eyes on the prize.
