lockys96 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 i know this has been talked about so many times, but i still try the online quote and the only mk4 supra they can match import wise, is a supra turbo auto, does this even exist? i thought they are just twin, the reason being i have a good quote on the jap turbo auto import 93 onwards, im just wondering if i should ring up and quote the reference i have been given and just ask to change the car to twin turbo import, not single turbo, simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 the mk4 supra twin turbo is quite commonly known as the "supra turbo". e.g. look at parts catalogues, used car price guides etc. I wouldn't take that as meaning they had mixed up the mk3 and mk4, although I know this has been said of Elephant.

Faye Brother Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Admiral have Twin Turbo, Twin Turbo Auto and Twin Turbo IMP (import) categories on their online quoting system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/7848/quoteadmiral8xu.jpg as above. i wonder what they will say when i say twin turbo? maybe this means i should look for one with single turbo conversion si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 the twin turbo import is up to 93 and not after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 confusing. Anyway, that is definately referring to the MK4. As I said, it's a "turbocharged Supra." so it's a "Supra Turbo". yes it has two small turbos, but they don't need to say that!! Besides the 7M-GTE was 2954cc, not 2997cc (2JZ-GTE) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 looks like supra import turbo. if the supra was only made twin turbo then that cant be wrong, at least u will know its the mk4, my quote was at £1386 for that, which is for standard car, 12 months policy with cat 1 alarm, social only, 7000 miles and garaged, with me being 21 with 1ncb, no points, good post code with my mum added to take 300-400 off, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockys96 Posted August 15, 2005 Author Share Posted August 15, 2005 i rang them up to confirm the car as it states turbo auto import 93 onwards and not twinturbo import 93 as soon as i mentioned the word rz twinturbo he said he couldnt insure me, i kept him on the phone and tried to explain that this was the the twinturbo supra and they didnt make a single turbo one!!! he said does it have any other features, so i said no, anyway he amended the car details to twinturbo import, and i stressed to him was it the older model, and he kept saying no, you have put 93 down i dont think they understand, they only go by whats on their screen, ive checked my quote back online and it is listed as the twinturbo import and under the model comes 90, hmmm but then under the cc comes 2997cc? i think this is still right, anyway 21 with 1 ncb with bodykit, wheels, exhaust, filter, and lowered declared came to £2,219 12 month and £1,919 10 month. me thinks this is the best ill get on a jap spec one.

stevie_b Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 My advice is to make sure ALL the details are correct: 2997cc sounds right for a mkiv, but try to get them to add "RZ" to the quote. Don't be in any doubt about it: if you get your wires crossed with your insurer and you have a prang, you don't want to be sweating wondering whether they'll honour the insurance or not. That's a whole world of pain that you just don't need! Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted August 15, 2005 Author Share Posted August 15, 2005 funny seeing as the link given in this thread admiral service down, you can select the RZ, SZ AND GZ or whatever it is online, i should tell them its on their downtime quote system and they have it listed, ive tried the link and submitted my details that way but now quotes back, just get emails saying technical problems, funny that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
