Rostr02 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 This first post will be rather pic heavy. I have been stationed here in Japan for a year and have been looking for an RZ Supra since I got here. after a few months waiting for it to be delivered, I finally had it delivered. I have ordered some parts that will keep me busy this winter, but my main focus has been cleaning up and replacing the pieces in the interior that were missing or broken. I am still missing the 2 pieces in the rear trunk area that re being 3d printed while I source OEM ones, hopefully. So if anyone has them please let me know 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4chrisbnvds Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 It looks nice, I have seen a similar wheel on 4wheelonline before. What's the recent update of this build? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I know you are looking for the rear panel trim at the moment, but have you noticed if parts availability in Japan, be that through Toyota dealers or third parties, is generally better than elsewhere? I often find things on the Yahoo auctions that are discontinued, but you would have to use a proxy shipping service to buy the parts as most people won't ship internationally.

What's the recent update of this build? Waiting on parts to arrive basically. Have some things here just waiting for more to come in for the build. Here are some of what came in. Glass euro headlights, facelift tails, PHR covers, breather, and power steering reservoir, Hypertune intake, poly exhaust hangers to hopefully stop the rattle, and some new oem plastics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been able to source some things from yahoo auctions thankfully. I was going to have the rear pieces 3D printed but found someone who had them for sale finally!! That was the last thing to get this interior back together. Im not a huge fan of the red seats but they will have to do for now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you post somethin similar a while back or has this happened to someone else who imported? It did not happen to me, I bought it with the things damaged and or missing. I was ok with it as it took me almost a year to find this one. I just did not know it would be so hard to find some of these things. But, I finally found the last 2 oem pieces I needed and should be shipped from the US in a couple weeks. I am debating going back to an oem front bumper as I really don’t care for fiberglass. But, it works for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Lovely looking car Never been a fan of the stretched tyre look plus it wouldn't last long over here in the UK until you had a blowout or a destroyed alloy with the state of the roads!

Well the shippers had to replace a wheel already as they curbed the hell out of it getting it onto the flat bed. They are new and they work for me, for now. I will eventually be changing them but that is far down the line after everything else is completed. I will likely need to stick with 19's as I do plan on buying brembo GT-S brakes for the front and rear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
