need advice about fuel rail
The lower plenum is also different. You need a newer style lower plenum or get your one machined out to take the new style injectors as far as I know. Am sure someone will confirm that has done this :)

budget tyres
I would avoid part worns - a lot come from crash damaged write off vehicles that may have had damage to the tyres when the vehicle has locked up or slid into something!! There was a report saying that many tyres sold as part worn were not fit for use (even though they looked physically good on the outside)!! :oops:

budget tyres
Falken are a very good mid range tyre but may be a bit more than £70 (made by Dunlop) Budget wise - next one down is Matador ( made by Continental) or Kumho Nankang or Primewell ok as budgets go but dont expect too much from them LOL!

Who has knowledge on supras and skylines?
Personally I would go for the Skyline - I dont really like the look of Supras but thats just my opinion. The other thing to consider is the GTST is going to be far more tunable than a NA Supra so if you want to start tweaking it the Supra is going to be very limited being an NA compared to the Skyline

Cheap piggy back ECU!!
A friend of mine has seen this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ECU-Master-Digital-Ecu-Tuner-III-MAP-Sensor-/290656283043?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item43ac76e9a3 He's looked into it & seems quite popular in Poland where it is made. £158 including a 4 bar MAP sensor!! Anyone seen or heard about these? Hes probably going to get one for his Celica GT4 so will be interesting to see how he gets on! Bargain if it works well

200mph
Top end speed is largely determined by the final drive ratio. Most 6 speed boxes will have 5th gear as a 1:1 drive & 6th as an overdrive - just with an additional gear up to 5th for closer ratios. Some do have 2 overdrive gears but mainly its the final drive that will determine this.

If you can find somewhere that has an off car lathe then yes - like this: http://www.boschdiagnostics.com/TESTEQUIPMENT/WHEELSERVICE/BRAKELATHES/Pages/BrakeLathes.aspx We have one of these which only does on car: http://www.procuteurope.eu/?gclid=CK69ioSm7q0CFYELfAodg0IO6A The first link is a Bosch unit so may be worth phoning some Bosch service centres.
