Supra Noodle Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 The time has come to reinsure my Supra, which had just been converted to a TT. My insurance are requesting the engine number which i can't seem to find. Could anyone point out it's location as it is doing my nut in.

Swampy442 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 As you stand at the front of the car, the engine number is on the right hand side, towards the front of the block near the sump. Its got the engine code 2JZ cast, then below that a row of numbers. Ive got a pic at home but Im sadoly at work now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garethr Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I didn't think any imports had the engine number on the log book. Not one of the imports I've had have, just says unknownIt's almost impossible to see a JZ engine number with the engine in the car. Soarers are the same.

Supra Noodle Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 On your V5 if you have done things correctly It wouldn't be on my V5 as i have had a TT conversion done, which means i've had the engine changed (it was an NA). It may have been on the donor cars V5 but i don't have it. Another reason i need the engine number is to get my V5 ammended so it is done correctly.

Supra Noodle Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 Found it! What a pain in the ass to get to. Anyhow, anything to keep the insurance brokers happy. Cheers Swampy i wouldn't have found it without ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam1983 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Apologies for the thread revival but had a big problem trying to find the engine number earlier today. Car finally arrived in Cyprus and I went down to the port to collect. Customs guys were having a lot of heated discussions over the fact that my V5 had not known in the engine number box. I checked this site earlier to try and help me find the number but even though I think I was looking in the right area (front right area of the engine block) I just couldnt find it for the life of me. Is it possible to find without lifting the engine? Engine undertray is still attached so wasnt able to look from underneath the car. Is it easier to see it if removed? I will be taking it to an MOT centre out here either tomorrow or day after as they have to write the engine number on some official documentation so I can take back. Was a happy and stressful day rolled into one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Ok the pic above shows it's near the passenger side engine mount, so it must be behind/beneath the oil filter when you look down from above. An angled mirror poked down that way might do the trick? or reaching down with a digital camera and keep snapping blindly til you get it in the frame?
