Guest neilsupra1 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Hi I bought my Supra about a year ago being advertised as a GZ model. It also says on the V5 that it is a GZ 1996/1997 Twin Turbo. So its got full leather, air bags, air con but does not have active front spoiler or cruise control or heated seats. Could someone please enlighten me as to wether it is still a GZ without the active spoiler and cruise control ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) Im sure theres a guide on here that tells you how to read the vin plate il try snd find it, its possible that someone removed the active spoiler and cruise control as its now a fairly old car http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=28844&d=1140111389 Is it a manual? Or auto? Edited November 16, 2012 by safcdixon (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Paine Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 On home page of forum open mawbys supra model guide and on page 3 of the guide it shows you where to look on the vin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) sounds like an RZ, but saying that its a lot newer than mine so you never know the japs are a funny lot . by then they might have started running out of things and left them off Edited November 16, 2012 by peter richards (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darragh Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Did the heated seats not come in the uks only? If it doesn't have the cruise control then it's not a gz as the active spoiler can be taken away , I could be wrong but deffo sounds like an rz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 my seats are heated but dont work as the rear fog light had to be instaled , but the cruise is there the active spoiler , flippy mirrors, as for the seats well i think they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neilsupra1 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Thanks for the reply but I cant see where it says where to look on the vin on page 3 but probably not looking properly. On the vin Model E-JZA80-ALPVZ ENGINE 2JZ-GTE 2997CC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 acording to the vin chart yours is an SZ or RZ-s but obviously it isnt an na. so it must be a RZ-S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neilsupra1 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Yes seen it now on the vin. Started looking through the paperwork I got with the car and looked through the Jap service history and spotted RZs in between all their squigles. What a donut! Should have done my homework before buying the car. But as usual I bought something with my eyes shut. Although I bought it as it is unmodified and in near new condition throughout. In with the paperwork was the original advert that the guy I bought it from had put in from Jap Village as a GZ and he advertised it as a GZ. Never mind does it really matter ! The reason for asking for help with this question was that I am going to sell it and wanted to make sure of the model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 nice post mate , great to think that you have done your homework and honest to the next owner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neilsupra1 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Ok thanks. Any thoughts people on its value ? so RZs 1996/97 not sure. Gunmetal grey MINT Looks new Unmodified 52500 miles Fog light intergrated, full leather, air con, 5 dials, full uk service history, and Jap history, never driven in the wet, kept under bespoke cover, done less than 1000 a year. £ 1000 s worth of sounds. Traction control snow mode. Lexus gs300 alloys quite rare wheels I think. The guy I bought it off did 6 miles in 3 years and kept it garaged and covered. It is MINT once again. When people ask me how old the car is they cant believe its condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
