Dnk Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 You still on the same bearings on them 19's Dnk Funnily enough Scotty they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 1800 euros EACH!! So unless your housings are cracked, it seems bonkers even if the seals do fail earlier in refurbed turbos......you could refurb them twice over and still have change. We digress though, I think the point here is that Toyota are about to lower support for arguably their best flagship car ever made. It's probably just the turbos to start with......but what's next on the list.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I hope you typed that quietly I have a customer on 300,000 on stock and unfettled UK turbos. They smoke a bit, but still usable. Engine is unopened and stock, still runs and sounds great. I think sometimes luck is with you sometimes it isn't, my 1st uk spec blew the 2nd turbo at 2 1/2 years old with 45,000 miles on the clock, completely stock car, no silly induction kits etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I would think they would slowly stop supplying lots of parts to be honest, as they run out of stock then thats it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 If anyone gets stuck I can probably still get them from Toyota Japan, provided they still have stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Well......... stone the crows mate They have done 50,000 + miles on the silly big 19's, had them all thoroughly checked at the last mot which was a week ago and there all sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 How many members have actually bought new o/e turbo's ? doesnt everyone go single or hybrid if theres a problem hence Toyota not selling any so why stock them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I've just priced the UK spec turbo's up and full retail here is £3787.10 inc vat + £230 inc vat surcharge on each turbo if you dont exchange your old units. My supplier here says he can still get them but didnt know for how long and hadn't heard any news on them being phased out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelboyne Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 cant see anyone paying that when you could have pauls bw turbo and kit for similar money, you would nnearly get a hks to4z kit for that money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 (edited) While I support the sentiment, I don't think Toyota will be in a position to do what is requested. I suspect this will be a decision from the top as Toyota have had a disastrous time with massive global recalls and impending law suits related to fatal accidents. I expect the global stock of Toyota parts will diminish as they try to decrease their assets tied up in stock. For a car as old as the supra it will be a huge ask to get them to change policy.

jagman Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 As the cars age its not surprising that Toyota will stop supplying parts - to be fair how many people will simply buy new parts like door panels etc ? and the jspec cars were for the Japan market!! the cars are now in the cheapy end of the market,the insurance companies more likely to scrap than repair . Which leads to the question are the premiums going to drop ? On the plus side there could be huge clearance sales of new old stock - complete interior £400?

Snooze Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 As the cars age its not surprising that Toyota will stop supplying parts Are the cars really that old? I though they were still manufacturing in 2002? 8 years doesn't seem that old to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
