Is there any point of an induction kit on BPU Supra or would a remap be required to get a performance benifit

I taught you bought the White TRD one off Jurgen

Sure why not, what are the size of wheels on yours . Would these look too small???

I was goin to go with Volk GTC Face 2 Front 19 X 9.5 Rear 19 X10.5 Thais is as big as they go in 19"

My car is on way over from Japan so I didnt have a chance to look to see what is different to standard Supra, so I couldnt tell you how she is setup only Nic or Jurgen will know because thaey have seen a TRD built supra in the Flesh

Hi Nic Do know the offset of your car, I know RSE Motorsport have Replica TRD Supra in Oct Months Japanese Perofrmance Mag but unfortunately their are no offset numbers

Hi Guys Would the offset be different if you have the TRD3000GT body on there I want to get Volk GTC wheels Link for Wheels Fitment TRD Link: http://trdparts.jp/english/parts_wheel-sport.html

When you get a chance can you send a link please

I had a look at them but I find the carbon fiber would make a nice addiittion to the plastic interior plus I dont like the way you can see the screws

Does anybody have one?

Hey Can anybody recommend a carbon fiber Dash guage pod X 3 to suit Defi BF Series Guages? It sits over the gloove box. cheers

Hi I want to get a new set of VOLK GTC Rims, does anybody know the offset for TRD3000GT kitted Supra? Thanks

Just I am getting VOLK GTC Wheels and was told there maybe a custom offset required as opposed to a normal Supra because she is TRD. I just assumed it was due to the Bilstein, thanks for info though Have to do some reading up on Suspension so Would you know if yours is normal Standard Supra Fitment (Offset etc)

Fingers Crossed

It late man I was in work at 07.30 and still here, throw me a frickin bone

Thanks man, just go confirmation from Japan, my car was rebuilt by TRD Technocraft 5 years ago, she left factory in 1993 and was sent back to TRD Technocraft in 2002. In Japan the car is considered a TRD Genuine Car whether it started out as a TRD Car like your white Supra or was brought back to be kitted out to same standard as your white supra. Basically once the car has TRD Technocraft VIN and number it is the REAL Deal. Which makes sense as both cars have gone through same TRD Technocraft 3000GT program. So I am a happy camper But it looks like Jurgen sold his Black TRD built car too cheap!!! Hope you have loads of Pics in your garage, Does your Supra have custom built Bilstein Suspension as well, inother words custom offset for wheels!!!

I taught it is no considered a genuine car if retrofitted? even though I would consider it Genuine as both cars went through same process. I am also email trd USA, see what they say probably just ignore me

Hi Jurgen, Jake I was compared your white Supras VIN Plate to my VIN Plate, there are two scenarios The one I dont like Your car started off from New as GT3000 and mine was uprated later on OR The VIN Plates are different (JA800-0xxx compared to JZA80-xx) so TRD can differenciate between a TRD Technocraft (Japan) built car and a TRD USA Built car, which also makes sense I think we need to establish if you could buy a new car with the Kit on or where they all genuine TRD cars retrofitted by the TRD branches (TRD Technocraft (Japan), TRD USA), hopefully Jurgen can get some answers on his trip to Japan!!! But if your car is bought off show room floor with TRD300GT or is later rebuilt by TRD Technocraft does this make your car non Genuine, at the end of the day do the two cars not go through the same process, would the retrofitted car not be considered newer because it has newer parts? I think once your car is put together by TRD Technocraft or TRD USA they are Genuine cars, a non genuine car is one that had a third party Body shop fit the Kit.

Great work, now we are getting some where

When u say Factory, do you mean TRD fit the KIT or a third party tuning shop We will get to the bottom of this conundrum, I dont know about anybody else but it is starting to annoy me like when u cant remeber a name of something and its on the tip of your tongue

To be honest from what I have come across and I have only being looking on the web for last week, TRD Genuine Car 3000GT-- Is a car taken by consumer to TRD USA or Technocraft (Car maybe new or used) for an orginal TRD3000GT body kit to be fitted,TRD can fit any extras at a cost, plus you get TRD VIN Plate numbered (It would be interesting to see if your could get this as a factory option when buying the car but I really doubth it), as it was to pay homage to Japanese Race wins, so spure of the moment tribute and I think TRD is considered seperate entity to Toyota like Mugen to Honda, but like Mugen maybe you can buy the car directly from TRD, I think we only know by the quality of the car, you can always tell a car when it does not have a factory finish unless a huge over haul was done But if it was done by TRD, are not all cars conversions, because the car arrives at there shop in stock form whether it is new or 10 years old TRD 3000GT not Genuine Consumer purchases a TRD Genuine kit -- Gets local body shop to fit not Technocraft or TRD USA (It is harsh considering how price the Kit is) Question It would be interesting to know if I bought an offical TRD3000GT kit from TRD Technocraft if u get a TRD VIN Plate to establish the KIT is authentic or does the VIN Plate establish TRD USA or TRD Technocraft installed and supplied the kit If the latter (the VIN Plate establish TRD USA or TRD Technocraft installed and supplied the kit) we can safely establish a car is Authentic

Jurgen, I read the quote above as implying I am being taking for a ride, sorry if I took it out of context. I not worried about the autenticity of my car but I would just like to get backgorund about the car, just because I am curious how many where built, if just for bragging rights

Looks good But just looking at the SPEC my car has same TRD addons, TRD wide body kit TRD rear wing TRD headlights BILSTAIN suspension kit TRD bushes TRD break lines TRD Radiator cup TRD coolant TRD high response muffler TRD steering wheel TRD VIN Plate Are you sure nets on footwell/boot would identify a car is TRD, to me they are extras for the American Market Supra models? The only thing my car doesnt have is the TRD Tower Bar, but on TRD Website it states it doesnt fit with authentic TRD Bonnet, so as a conclusion it is looking more and more like my car is one of the genuine TRD Cars.

How many where built? Where they built same time as TRD2000GT? etc..

She is not in Ireland yet should be here in December but it will be cutting it close to Christmas, but it is my Christmas present from me to me abit like Mr Bean on the Christmas episode

This is the full text, as I read it it refers to both SW20 TRD2000GT - it is under this heading In 1998, Toyota Racing Development [2] offered an official kit body conversion and tuning program for MR2 owners to transform their existing SW20 MR2 into a widebody TRD2000GT kit replica car. This was to pay homage to the wins by their TRD2000GTs in the GT-C Japanese racing series, the TRD2000GT racing series cars were based on the SW20 floorpan. Toyota also did the same with their Supra Twin Turbo model, offering a conversion service to transform these cars into a TRD3000GT [3]. In order to ensure exclusivity, a high price tag was charged and total of just 35 factory car conversions were completed by Toyota Technocraft Ltd. Each official Technocraft car converted was made using lightweight fibreglass components (in place of heavy steel original parts: front fenders, trunk lid extension, rear quarter panels, gas door, front and rear bumpers, 3-piece wing) and re-classified as completely new cars (with their own specially numbered TRD vin plate riveted to the body to indicate their authenticity and rarity). Only 3 complete Toyota Technocraft Ltd. cars are known to have been shipped into Europe with only 10 complete cars allocated to TRD USA for the entire American market. This makes these officially built Toyota Technocraft Ltd. The car track width is extended and body dimensions dramatically changing the cars overall visuals, giving the car a "supercar" look, and also better handling and weight reduction. Very little is known about these cars outside of Japan. Puzzling Question Also another point I an puzzled about is the part Aero bonnet hood 53311-JA800 associated with the kit does not accept the TRD Strut Brace, this is indicated on TRD Website but I see cars on Web claim to be authentic with the Strut Brace fitted but why would TRD say it doesnt fit???? Just I was wondering why my car didnt have one TRD SITE : SUPRA JZA80 Front 2JZ-GTE exclusive 53607-JA810 H 26,000 2-point support, steel Can't install with Aero Hood (53311-JA800) Link: http://trdparts.jp/english/parts_towerbar.html And there is only one aero hood on the Officaial TRD Site
