car in bangor belonged to an old customer of ours. Full BPU and in very good condition. He owned the car for round 4 years before selling it last year. Paint work was a bit bad in places hence its new respray. When it first arrived in the country it had an incorrectly fitted AFPR from another garage which resulted in a few melted pistons. Bottom end was replaced with a built block. Car was always serviced and was a summer driver only, hence why it was sold on.

FT1 = Toyota only project New Z4 = Bmw and Toyota Joint partnership - the link just posted

Was the car fully up to temp when this happened, i.e. system bled and thermostat fully open? Already some good diagnosis advice been given here. i have seen this on a few occassions. 1. Engine Oil cooler fubared - Oil under pressure will pass into water passage and so into cooling system. Bypass coolant pipes and turn engine over - dont start (remove efi fuse) as were assuming just water contamination. Oil will pass out off coolant outlets on cooler when cranking produces enough oil pressure, 2. Auto oil cooler in rad - again bypass cooler and loop pipes (they are not under pressure), Flush rad before checking again. 3. Very rare case of Turbo housing Coolant channel fracture in which oil passing from centre bearing into coolant channel. Yet to see this on a supra though. Would there have been a very very very small remote Possibility that Oil made its way accidentently into cooling channel on block when engine was being worked on, a full coolant system flush after checking above may be worthwhile. Other than that its going to be a head off and inspection

Hmmm i know that car from somewere

Miles..... it was a "rebirth" of the AE86

Correct, Ft-1 Design concept is totally irrelevent to the Z4 story. Bmw/Toyota partnership involving the Toyota Hybrid System II is over 3 years old now, and without doubt they will release a vehicle but as said countless times in the press and media, and by toyota themselves, this will not be a replacement for the Supra. Dezi Nagaya said in an interview regarding the GT-86 that any new true toyota sports would be powered by a gasoline engine and not a hybrid when he talked about the 3 future vehicles - the small sports car, the medium (gt-86) and the larger. On another interesting note, back in 2007 there were 2 concepts commissioned by toyota from Toyota's Europe Design Development ED2 and Calty Design (FT-HS) - Toyota eventially took its styling cues from Calty for the the ft/gt-86

Ok Toyota, thank me later, just get it built https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1/1016360_823209957696513_48144146_n.jpg

They also say the concept is sized 110% to make it more dramatic looking, so at 100% the wheel size and stull will come down

2010 saw the IS-F go to a true mechanical LSD as they ditched the "intelligent Diff" or 'just apply brake pressure to left or right wheel' due to customer feedback. So toyota know a true LSD is the only way forward. Transmission via stock ecu control has been holding up well in Nitrous applications, it was also the transmission used (in standard form) behind the TMG650

As said earlier, this is the 2urgse engine and aa80e trans also found in the IS-F (and our project supra) , which is currently toyota's most modern and powerful power plant (apart from the l-fa engine) and latest technology transmission. Now, Toyota Motorsport GmbH (Those who were behind the Toyota formula 1 development) have already taken this engine to the next level via modern turbo technology, and built the TMG650 to showcase their development work in production cars. the 650 stands for 650bhp..and was showcased at Essen last year Merge these 2 toyota devlopement projects togather...and bingo

maybe this Vid which shows it driving confudled me lol 5:00

From all the Vids at detroit, engine uses dual intakes which are usually favoured in modern twin turboed V applications

All generations of supra had a hate or love reaction about certain design aspects, even the mkiv front design was seen as ugly by many at the time being 'Renowned for its ugly headlights and laughter inducing spoiler'....seems that the love hate trait carrys on with this and be it love or hate it generates interest

have said its the Classic front engined rear wheel drive layout

they keep hinting and mentioning the classic Straight 6 layout, maybe they have taken the 2JZ-FSE design principals forward with todays technology...

If its the Current line of v8 UR high compression direct and port injected engines, then the tuning end of things is covered before it even comes out

I agree, as TMG developed the 2urgse in twin turbo form last year and it met both Euro 5 and Euro 6 standards, also, the images ive seen, there looks like 2 IC's behind front bumper intakes with front facing fans, or they could be rads..

well at least the good news has filtered through 1. Front engine Rear wheel Drive 2. Gasoline powered only 3. powerplant is NOT linked with toyota and bmw's partnership which involves hybrid technology

ShineAuto also do rears

I send Airbags, pretensioners and belts into Europe and the UK everyday mate, just parcel it up and send it Marty

yep, i know the GRMN Sports Hybrid Concept II was hailed as the "new supra" but being mid ship, lectric and 4wd just went against any Gene the supra carried. The gt86/fr-s development at the time was also rumoured to be based on an existing platform, and it was in the end a ground up build. Tetsuya Tada said in a interview quite lately that it takes a 5 year timescale on a ground up design when being asked about the 2 future releases, which personally makes me think it wont be based on any 'existing' design. It just a waiting game i guess, and what ever the outcome..if the DNA is right all will be good

Alex that Partnership is Soley to do with Hybrid technology...the New supra will be a 'pure Gasoline' engined car, It will be a "ground up" car

Lexus IS-F powerplant (2UR-GSE) more than likely as this has been the "performance" engine for future development. Lotus worked with the powerplant for a while, and a healthy 620hp - supercharged So think of the pricing for this model in the AMG range only applied to an IS-F

wont fit a 2jz/1jz unless used with a modified single manifold as Its a replacement bolt on for a mk3 supra 7MGTE CT26 (simialr to the GT4/Mr2 unit) problem is the stock CT26 shaft cant support that wheel, and its been proved countless times - biggest reliable seems to be 57 or 60 trim.

"I think current hybrid technology is not good for road sports cars,” FR-S chief engineer Tetsuya Tada said during an interview with Top Gear. The Scion FR-S has reminded the buying public that Toyota can make spectacular sports cars. With the limited power and small footprint of the FR-S, there is a tremendous opening in the automaker’s product line for a larger and more powerful sports car. The FR-S features various references to the classic AE-86, this hole could be filled by a car with an even more important model name from Toyota’s past: the Supra. Tada does mention his “next sports car.” When describing the next car he says ”I want to make a big… ‘wow.’ I want to give the world a shock.” When asked directly about a new Supra, Tada says “Of course, anything is possible.” Yoshinori Sasaki, another engineer associated with the FR-S said, “It’ll be a different avenue of sports car from the GT 86.” He is adamant that this new Supra will use a pure gasoline drivetrain. Sasaki also stresses their support of the Supra’s traditional front-engine rear-drive layout, ”rear-engined, rear-driven cars – and even mid-ship designs – are OK. But if you want to make an enjoyable sports car, it should be front-engined, rear-drive.” The UR generation of engines with some form of forced induction are a likely candidate IMHO
