dandan Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Hi all, Just a quick one, How do you tell if a Supra is a GZ or an RZ, the bl@@dy owner does not seem to know! It has recaros, front spoiler, lsd, sideskirts, 2 airbags.... it's Nreg, 1996, but funnily enough when i put the reg into an insurance database it gave the year of manufacture as 2000! Is this possible?? Any ideas folks....pretty important as Im trying to sort out insurance!! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesG Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 This page tells you which bit of the engine plate to look at to identify whether it's an RZ or GZ: http://mkiv.supras.org.nz/specs.htm Insurance databases often mistake the year of manufacture with the year of importation. Most insurance companies reckon mine is a 1997 model so I have to correct them. James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 If it's definately a facelift it will be RZ. When the facelift Supras came out you just selected the options you wanted at the time of purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 Whats the difference between facelift and non facelift?? Thought all the mkiv's were the same from 1993??? Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 It should also be on the SVA certificate import papers, if the seller hasn't got one of those then walk away. Insurance companies do get confused over Supras, I very much doubt my insurance has mine down as an import, but it has RZ on my insurance papers and that's good enough for me and the courts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that you are obliged to declare things that may affect the premium. You might save yourself a few quid now, but it could get mighty expensive later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 I only suspect they made a mistake, due to the cheap quote and price I now pay, if £800 is cheap for a 32 year old with massive NCB? Anyway in truth if it went to court I'd lose. MODS and points will be declared this year, honest guv ........well maybe see what renewal I get first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
