There have been 3 different relays that have used since 2008. see TSB link

I have the black fuel pump and the other 3 are green currently. The Blue replays replaces the green and the black one. Than there is the big grey relay as well. It's more of a $40 insurance / piece of mind thing for me.

I hope you still have your Supra??

Good choice on the car. Quite a bit different than what you are used to. Some ways good, some ways bad.

no, I sold it. I had a great 14 year run, but was looking for another blank slate to start with. The Evo has big shoes to fill.

Yes, this car is very, very different car from the Supra, but oddly still the same. Both are looking at going fast, they just get to the goal differently. I'm enjoying this new found thing called traction though

Grats on the pick up.

Keep an eye on your ACD fluid in the trunk. Get the t.case fluid checked before you drive it like you stole it (I still need to do this as well).

Have fun and enjoy the car

I would baby it for the 1st 1000-3000 miles to have the seals seat better. all my cars that I did this never got an oil leak even after 180k miles of use. you know that the 4B11T is not immune to the proverbial oil leak, just a word of caution. enjoy it anyways.

I wanted a Supra too (before Fast and the Furious thank you very much) because of the huge aftermarket potential for a factory turbo car (I came from the Honda world like most early 90's kids). Then I heard about this thing called all wheel drive as well and changed my mind. Now if I could only afford the best of both worlds: turbo six-cylinder and awd...mmmmm GTR...

Buying a GT-R is only the beginning,
Good luck paying for the oil changes lol.

I'm sorry to hear. I very much regret selling mine. I'd love to get another one, but just don't have the space.

Not sure if anyone with an '11 has had to get into the clutch and analyze yet. We do know there have been updates to the drivetrain on the '11. It's entirely possible the clutch has been updated as well.
