Admiral Donuts Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Hey bud that GTR sounds very nice. I'm also on the look out for a manual TT Supra. And your right there doesn't seem to be to many about. Check out this one I found and tell me what you think.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOYOTA-SUPRA-TWIN-TURBO-MANUAL-NOT-SPANISH-LHD-SPAIN-EVO-DRIFT-MODIFIED/151680727223?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131017132637%26meid%3D90999ae0a690401a875c7f720a6ce87d%26pid%3D100033%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D151680727223 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downimpact Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 As always go on condition/history more than anything especially as these are getting on a bit.

Chris Wilson Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 You will find *MOST* MKIV's do not rot anything like as badly as the 32, 33 and 34 GTR's, and the build quality is far better. The Getrag is a strong box, very similar to the R34GTR Getrag, and just as agricultural. The engine has a more robust bottom end than the RB25 / RB26, but lacks throttle bodies. The oil drain issues from the heads of the RB26 are gone, instead you have potential oil pump seal leakage. A LOT of MKIV's have been butchered and tinkered with to the point they look like comic book cars, finding a nice one is getting harder, as someone else said, by solely on condition, forget year and indicated mileage. A fresh import 93 may well be a lot nicer than a doggy 98 car that's been fiddled with unsympathetically, been clocked and seen many salty UK winters. You'll need to modify the engine if you expect decent performance if you put all that *#~4 in the boot that you put in the R32 It's just as easy to make them as intolerably noisy as that 32 must have been, so no worries there either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 No worries, I have a couple of R33's, a brand new 33GTR shell, fully FIA caged, awaiting building into a race car, and an R33 GTS-t with some track orientated mods, and an all steel GTR engine, so I should have noticed what it was, shouldn't I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
