Just Bought A Supra

[autoshop.com.au]

Hey Guys,

Just found this forum on Google, and had a few questions about a Supra I just bought. I haven't actually seen the car yet. Its still in Japan, will be Australia next month. I'm from Australia. All I know is that it's a Black 1989 JZA70 1G-GTE. I don't know what any of those codes mean (I have a Nissan Background). I bought it for AU$6500.

Could anyone tell me about the engine, the performance out of that car or if it was a decent buy?

Thanks in advance guys, and nice meeting you all.

errr... you should've asked that question before you bought it...
it's a 2l engine i guess?
btw is the price the total cost of bringing it into australia, or just the FOB price of the car?
i'm looking for MKIII now, but still not sure if i should go Japan way
when u get the car tell here how much it cost in total, and if you are satisfied with the company u delat with
maybe i'll go that way too..

Just got it from contacts in Japan. Total cost of it in Aus would be $8000. Came here through contacts.

$6500 after its in Aus. $500 - $1000 for compliancing under the 15 year rule. Under $500 for registration + Qld Transport Bullshit. So the car on the road here will be a bit under $8000.

If this buy works out great, I'll try to get hold of another similar and sell one of them off.

hey

it would seem you have one of two problems... you need to find out if it is a jza70 or a ga70..
ga70 = 1g engines
jza70 = 1jz engine

but as previously posted the info is in that other thread

[Strannik]

if you find one with 1jz, manual, black , in good condition, under 12000aud i'll be more than happy to buy it from you )

The engine is a 1G-GTE. They had these in the TT soarer's didnt' they? I was kinda worried earlier, it may have had a soarer engine transplant into this supra.

haha. we did find that, with a targa top, 1992 model. but couldn't find a place to compliance that (because of its age). Someone else has that now.

I'll tell my friends to keep their eyes open.

the jza70 mk3 supra is a 1jzgte... original.. not transplanted from a soarer
so since you know that it has a 1ggte in it.. then the chassis is ga70 and not from a soarer either hehe... toyota did throw around the supra engines into quite a few other chassis tho
