hehehe, I had one - thanks for the help Looking like a standard one for me at this time unless somthing changes my mind - like lots of history and a full description of the car and what its had done to it, and when!

Thank you very much for your help all. Im starting to wonder whether its such a good idea to go for the big turbo as a first car as I dont *really* understand it all as well as I probably should! Thinking the sequential standard setup may be a better way to go now... in fairness the guy has offered me some crackers but it was the low mileage (first) and the big single (second) that got my attention. Ive been looking for a low mileage supe (I know they go to 300k km!!) for 6 months now, so this was like all my Christmas's coming at once! Ive asked a few more questions about the fueling setup and whats been done to as regards engine mapping, but the more I think about it, the worse idea this becomes lol, and the better idea it is to go for one with stock turbos. At least theyre cheaper to replace if anythng goes wrong! Ive been sensibly advsied to go for a standard and do the work myself (well, pay someone here to do it) as I know who has done what, and where. I reckon this would be ideal, and if the car hadnt have had a big single already fitted Id have bitten his hand off on mileage alone, but as Supraguy says, I dont really want to buy other peoples problems. The car is from a dealer called "K's Auto" in Japan incidentally and the guy I am going through has a very good reputation, (he's sorted a few guys on here) and its not meant as a slight on him, more my ingorance I guess.

Hi Gaz, thanks for the help. Here is the spec: 1993 Black RZ 6 Speed Twin Turbo: 27000KM (16875 miles), ABS, LSD, Aircon, PAS, E/W, E/M, CD stereo, Leather rear seats, cloth RZ front seats. TO4R Turbine kit, front mounted intercooler, oil cooler, adjustable suspension, 18 inch WORK VS alloys, HKS exhaust. ALL IN PRICE £14000 I have been offered REALLY low mileage Supe's before, e.g. 19k miles on an L plate in an aution in Japan, from a very reputable importer down south - so I just thought this was another one of them - though in the past when Ive been offerd them I thought Id best wait for one with a few mods. Hindsight eh lol? I dont know about the power it throws out, havent really asked about that, was more concerned initially about history and who actually carried the upgrade out. Ive asked the person about the mileage already - i.e. can he check its genuine - and am waiting on a response. It does seem weird for such a low mileage car to have had ALL of these mods, but thats probably just the cynic in me coming out!

Hey guys, I wonder if you can help. Ive been made aware of a Supra avaiable, it looks all I want, and more, but Im a little worried with regards to the T04R turbine. Mileage on car is *incredibly* low BTW. "1993 Black RZ 6 Speed Twin Turbo, ABS, LSD, Aircon, PAS, E/W, E/M, CD stereo, Leather rear seats, cloth RZ front seats. TO4R Turbine kit, front mounted intercooler, oil cooler, adjustable suspension, 18 inch WORK VS alloys, HKS exhaust" Being my first supe, I obviosuly dont want to be bogged down with problems - and Ive heard so many stories of single turbo' d supe's either blow the turbos, or have been incorrectly regulated? I cant really afford 3-4k for a new turbo you see :-) Has anyone here got a T04R turbine? Whats it like as a daily runner? Or do you reckon Id be better off with the standard sequential turbo setup - being my first one and all that? Im well into this one, but there are others out there that are more or less standard and may potentially give less problems to me. Thanks for any help Paul.

Excellent work mate. Quite reassuring to know that someone on here is able to do that sort of thing was so much finesse. Quality!
