Guest Terry S Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 There are loads right down to a different boot lock mechanism! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogmaw Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 What are the main differences anyway? Can someone list them please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYmark Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 if you buy a blitz turbo timer and turbo timer wiring harness it wont fit to facelift ignition. i found out after i bought it. also the TRD 10k tach does not fit the facelift supra, more money wasted.

Guest Terry S Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 the quality on certain VVTi bits is dubious. Lots of VVTi's have problems with the boot release. I changed mine to a non face lift, and hey presto, perfect. Door panels are another, I have change mine to pre VVTi ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Terry S Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Keith when you pop the boot, go to the rear of the car, you have to put the key in again as it doesn't disengage properly. I spoke with Matt about it and he said every VVTi they'd had in did it:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because she doesn't know her own strength when she's had a few. ...or do you mean the car had a load of beer in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
