Q: What are the differences between a UK spec Toyota Supra and an import?
I was originally looking at getting a 93 Imported Supra TT, and then on my insurance i curiously selected the uk spec model instead and my insurance went down by £500!!!
Why do you think this is? The UK spec’s TT’s are faster than imports too!!

link tells you all you need to know about the differences.
A little taken from the link.
Models
In the UK there were 2 models released, a Twin Turbo and an NA (normally aspirated). Both had fairly high specification with leather interiors and cruise control. The UK TT version has a large air intake in the middle of the bonnet and headlamp washers which make it stand out from the NA and import versions.
Japan had at least 5 different models released, ranging from standard NA up to full leather TT. The SZ was the NA, the GZ was a TT with leather, cruise, active spoliers, the RZ was a TT with cloth seats, airbags and sometimes and active spolier, and the RZ-S was a TT with electric seats but none of the other toys. These defining lines are blurred when you realise that most of the models can have ‘cost’ options to increase the specification. Look at each car individually and dont expect any of them to have exactly what is listed below.
Q: how to modifie toyota supra supra engine?
hi i recently bought a toyota supra with the twin turbo engine and i am wondering what i can do to modifie the engine and make it better performence wise, leave advice
thanks.
A: The best modification is to put a Chevy shroud on it.
Q: What’s a good price to pay for a 1988 Toyota Supra w/ a small leak in the power steering hose?
I’m considering buying this Supra. The owner informed me that it has a small leak in the power steering hose and the AC needs recharging. It has a clean CarFax. If this is to be my daily driver, do you think these are easy fixes for the vehicle? He is asking 2000.
A: Mileage, condition, tires, maintenance records? All these things make it impossible to say if this is a good deal or not. The fixes you mention are pretty easy; might run you $100 at some shops. Get an estimate by calling a local shop. You may be able to use that figure to negotiate a lower price.
If you really like the car, then it is a good price. If you don’t, then no price is cheap enough. I happen to like that model and, subject to my first sentence, I would consider it.
Q: Would an infant seat or a child seat fit into a 1986.5 Toyota Supra?
I’m writing a novel in which a character drives a 1986.5 Toyota Supra. She has a baby. Can she fit an infant seat into the Supra? How about when he gets older — say 1.5 to 2 years old; is there a child seat that would fit into the Supra?
A: yea i think it would but it hads to be a small car seat or a small baby
Q: What would win between the Mitsubishi 3000GT and the Toyota Supra?
I’m thinking about getting me one of these cars. As my next car, I have a Toyota Celica GT-S right now. I love my car a lot that I have. However, I’m going to sometime get another sport car. I’m thinking about keeping it in the family with Toyota since I already have one.
A: stay with toyota
Q: What’s The Difference Between a 5 and a 6 speed Toyota Supra?
What would you recommend? and is it possible to change a 5 speed supra into a six speed?And how much would it cost?
A: The difference between a 5-Speed and a 6-Speed won’t make that big of a difference in most applications. Supras aren’t exactly the cream of the crop in drag racing, or autocross. So 5 or 6 gear transmission won’t affect you by a drastic amount in racing, drifting, or just general acceleration.
Q: Is it possible to put a v8 in a Toyota Supra?
Yes I know a Supra has a straight 6. I am talking about a fourth generation supra (93-98) If so give me the info
without retro fit
A: Yep,
I have seen Nissan RB26DETT Inline 6’s in Supras, Chevy V-8’s Ford V-8’s Toyota V-8’s Rotary engines. And of course most recently “Top Secret” has just finished their V-12 Supra, I will link a video to it. It has a Toyota Crowne V-12 a 1GZ-FE I beleive. You can put anything into a Supra, it just takes money, as far as I know there arent very many companies that sell a kit that would make it a bolt in installation, but that doesnt mean it cant be done.
If you need to pass smog some states will allow engine swaps if the engine is newer than the car it is being put into. Then you can put an exhaust that will allow you to meet those standards. However if you are like me, you dont have to pass smog, so that isnt an issue.
Q: Toyota Supra?
Someone plz >>>give<<< me a mk 4 Toyota Supra TT. I am in love with that car and never will be able to afford it. Just wishing apon a shooting star.
A: Those things were pretty awesome. The closed deck iron block in those things were so strong. But there are plenty of good new cars now too. But you are right, they are beautiful. Could always try Internet porn. They say the money is good. Hope you’re not underage. Sorry.
Q: toyota supra?
is toyota going to make another model of the supra, if so when, and where can i find some info on it.
A: The rumors keep saying they will. Toyota keeps saying they have no plans for a “Supra”. These have been going on for years. Toyota doesn’t even have a sports car still.
Q: toyota supra?
so… is the back seat of the toyota supra uncomfortable?
A: What back seat? =p
Q: Toyota Supra???
how much would it cost to go buy a toyota supra in japan n then gett it shipped back to the us how much would that all cost iam talkin bout a good toyota supra that has good features to it like tires, engine, brakes to drift, etc…and wat model should i get in the toyota supra
A: whats your budget my friends sells cars in Japan not rubbish ones high spec ones so i can ask him if he has any at your price range.With shipping etc.
Model wise the turbo version against the na,both great cars and would nt knock either but i have drove the mark 4 n/a engine a good few times .But to me the twin turbocharged 2JZ-GTE would be more fun.

A: well if your really good with engines id say go for the inline because they’re reliable and run smoother but if ur lookin for power with low maintenence get the V6. V8 is kinda overkill for a supra

Q: toyota supra?
im looking to purchase a twin turbo supra mk 4 within the next 2 months, Im 21 years old and have been approved for 25k for a TT 2JZGTE model, I got a few questions for people out there that know about supras engines and how reliable they are. If I buy a supra TT MK4 with no more then 120k miles on it, how long would the engine last on it, I dont plan on racing it or dogging the mess out of it, I know toyota has had the best long lasting engines ever but im just asking and am really curious, I wanted to at least save up 10k to get the beast boosted and all within the next 2 years, I was planning on getting the non TT supra and then converting but upon doing further research I see that it actually cost more to convert rather then just getting the TT MK4 all at one time, again I will not be dogging out this car or redlining it either, I love the looks of it and also the rareness of it, Im wanting to have this vehicle for probably the next 10 years,
not only that but I was honestly thinking to myself I want a vehicle thats going to last me for a long time and also that will be my daily driver, so I want to get the supra now and not worry about what car I want in the near future at the moment, I have so much respect for this car I mean who doesnt, exterior and interior are like no other, even the almighty 2JZGTE TT POWER IS AMAZING, I will be looking to at least to get the vehicle up to no more then 650HP, but I would really like long accurate answers thanks guys

A: Rayson-
Lets have a little chat here about the vehicle you are getting ready to obtain.
The car that you want is indeed a very good vehicle. But if you are going to plan on doing work to it there are a few things you should know.
The engine is only going to be one small part of the project. If cost is not object, then you are going to have your work cut out for you.
Lets do a little Automotive 101 here OK?
First, the engine has 120K miles on it or close to it. This means it has been driven, and most likely driven pretty hard. So the engine is going to need some attention.
Lets open this discussion so you have an idea as to what you are really going to be into. The engine is more than likely going to need a rebuild soon. This is going to consist of machining the block, (boreing the cylinders and hoaning them properly.
The installation of new pistons, piston rings, bearings and connecting rods. If the crankshaft is undamaged and within specifications the journals will have to be polished and trued.
The cylinder head is going to need some attention too. This will include new intake and exhaust valves, camshafts, rockerarms and followers, (if equipped).
The Turbo Chargers are going to also need service to include new bearings, and waste gate valves.
So at this point we have just spent about $8500.00 in machine work and labor, and we have not yet gotten to assembly of the engine, or the other required parts. This is going to include all of the following.
Complete Engine Gasket and Seal Set
Spark Plugs
Distributor Cap
Distributor Rotor
Coolant
Thermostat
Water Hoses
Vacuum Hoses
Cylinder Head Bolts
Air Filter
Fuel Filter
Oil
Oil Filter
Thermal Sensors
Thermal Switches
Now here is the additional work you are looking at.
Transmission Rebuild
Rear End Rebuild
Brakes
Wheel bearings
Suspension Parts
Tires
I want you to understand that I also build custom street rods, both Imports and Domestics.
The last vehicle I just finished was a 1990 Honda Prelude with a 2.5L DOHC Gray Market Import from Japan. This belongs to my brother. The engine was not an engine that was available here in the US. It was an engine that was only available in Japan in their SI models.
It started as a 175 Hp engine, which is pretty respectable for the car from the factory.
We had Spoon rebuild the engine for us because we could not obtain a new block or cylinder head. $6800.00 later we had a very nice Long Block to install in his car.
By the time we completed the project, the vehicle produced 294 horses, (dinoed) with no Turbo Charger or Nos.
But the cost of the entire project was to the tune of $23,000.00 because of the time and labor put into the car. If I had to calculate the billing hours that I could have charged my brother for the work I did, the total bill for that custom ride would be closer to the 50K mark!
If this is what you want to do, then by all means execute your dream car!!!!!!! But I cannot stress this enough. TAKE YOUR TIME! Do the job right and do it well. You will have something you can be proud of for many years to come.
Some of the other folks are going to rap me pretty hard about this, but keep in mind that you need to return as many parts to as close to new as you can get them. Especially if you are going to hop up that engine. If you don’t you will definately destroy some very expensive equipment on your car.
Good Luck with your project!
