Ian Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) Hopefully this one lasts a bit longer than my previous 2 attempts 1993 Toyota Supra RZ 3L Twin Turbo 6 Speed Manual gearbox Gash Volk Wheels (If anyone has any idea which ones they are that would be nice ) Even worse steering wheel (OEM one being refitted on import) Boost/EGT gauges (Being relocated to a-pillar pod on import) Black paint Carpets being dyed black on import Only done 94K KM so roughly 58K miles Front end is being resprayed on import along with a few other bits & pieces as part of the UK prep process. Should be here in around 10-12 weeks (by which point I will have "owned" it longer than the R33 and 350z number 2 put together ) Edited May 30, 2013 by Ian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattross1313 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Nice dude! Engine bay looks clean, love the gear knob Not long sold my supra before picking my new zed. Twin turbo's really are something special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmanji Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Looks nice, how did you find this? Is it a Japanese car dealer? What sort of money do they go for? I've always liked the turbo supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiingsi Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 One of my all time favourite cars, would love to own one at some point looks like a good example. And most importantly manual and a twin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dblock Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 What happened to the 2nd Zed?? I like the Supra but what is the RZ spec? Rz is the twin turbo good one. I think SZ is the slow N/A one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 What happened to the 2nd Zed?? I like the Supra but what is the RZ spec? 2nd Z, I lent to my brother to see if he liked it & I couldn't get the keys back off him I drove it 3 times Looks nice, how did you find this? Is it a Japanese car dealer? What sort of money do they go for? I've always liked the turbo supra. Its throught a Japanese Car dealer, being brought over by JM-Imports for me. This one is coming in at £10.5K OTR Whats the plans for it Ian? No idea, I know very little about Supras I have much to learn Someone's nicked your stereo mate. Thieving Japanese bastards, they stole the one out the R34 aswell Love Supra's but I cant see you keeping this long with your track record matey. If it gets past the 18 month mark, then its a keeper Only car I've ever kept longer than that is my original Z. If I could get back my original Z to exactly how I had it then I'd have it back in an instant Nice. Always liked them. Is Jurgen importing it for you? Yeah Jurgen is bringing it in, I figure that in Supra circles hes the most reliable source to bring one in is this the half way house till the R35 No R35 for me yet, it just wasnt realistic financially unless I saved every penny I earn for the next 18 months Who's jurgen, wouldn't mind finding out how to go about finding a similar car to import, how does it work from seeing to receiving Jurgen from JM-Imports. Pretty simple process. Let Jurgen know what your looking for, pay him a deposit & then he starts searching dealers & auctions in Japan for what your after. Once he secures it, you pay the cost of the car. It then gets deregisterd & sent to port for shipping, couple of months later it arrives, gets prepped for UK & then you pay the final installment on collection.

Flex Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 What's the cost difference in importing vs UK cars or is it just sometimes you cant get a particular model over here. Sorry for the dumb ass question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shab Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Clearly changing a lot by the time it gets here haha looks great mate, im planning on one next actually and with 58k miles itl hopefully last you a bit too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the dumb ass question In this case its purely down to rarity. Theres one black manual Supra (Does have a big single turbo though) for sale in the UK, every other Supra for sale seems to be an auto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what history its got, my R34 came with a folder full which is pretty rare for a JDM import. I know from translating the dealer page though that its got a new clutch & no accident history which is nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
