View Full Version : Stock RZ 6 Speed - Genuine Car
Firstly I must say that I have used this car daily for the past 7 years, including commuting from Southampton to London and more recently daily to and from Bournemouth. The car is completely reliable and has never let me down. The only reason I am selling is the cost of the fuel Im putting through it :(
Ok the Spec with as much genuine info as I can think of:
1994 J-Spec RZ 6 Speed in Red
155K miles mostly M-way(mine since 35k) - odo reads 166, but I have a BIMTA mileage cert for swap to MPH
Mobil 1 thoughout my 7 years of ownership (although services done by me so no history)
Everything Standard, even the Jap speed limiter (fuel cut at 120mph ish), apart from SVA requirements.
Engine never red lined (6k max) during my ownership
Clutch good
Gearbox good - notchy when cold, smooth when hot in typical Supra fashion.
Engine good - no unusual noises
Turbos good - spools up quickly and smoothly
Sympathetic ownership in my time - no turbos until engine warm, and off the turbos for last few miles with decent tickover at the end etc
Recent rear wheel bearings
Recent stock exhaust (2nd hand from a member but in excellent condition)
Recent rear pads
Thatcham 1 alarm/immobiliser.
Now the not so good points, starting at the front:
Front edge of bonnet stone chipped and aluminium starting to corrode. Easy respray job at this stage.
Valve stem oil seals need doing - blue smoke on start up only - does not burn oil any faster than when I first got it (maybe 1/2l per 1000miles)
Heater Matrix blocked, and also over this last summer the aircon ran out of refrigerant (1st time its ever had a problem with it)
Heat shield on exhaust rattles at 1200 RPM
Stone chips and paint microblisters on roof and rear RHD quarter. The micro blisters were caused by a re-spray of the rear quarters due to panel damage whilst on the boat coming over from Japan. When I bought the car they were non-existant (although I knew about the panel damage) but over time have become apparent.
Cambelt due.
I think £3750 is a fair price and I am sure I would get this after showing those uneducated in the way of Supra what they can do, but would prefer to sell to member who might know a bit more about them and how to treat them ;-)
PM for more info, or to view.
Cheers
Nigel

I have been looking at cheap NA's at this price, could be one of the cheapest TT's to date ?
If I was still in the UK this was have been bought by now! :)

Bloody hell mate i would put another 2 grand on that asking price for a very quick sale, you must have lost the plot:)
sjeez, if someone will buy the car and sell the parts apart you can make a nice profit

6 speed alone would fetch £2500, I am very tempted just to buy this but instead I would urge the seller to think again about the price, it is way too cheap unless there is something else your not telling :)
hi would you sell the car to me knowing i am going to strip it as i wouldnt want to offend you when you see the parts on here for sale
It should really be double that price.
Whilst it's a valid point that the car is worth more in parts, i'm sure any true Supe lover would agree this should be saved and restored to it's former glory rather than being butchered and end up on the scrapheap!
If I wasn't looking to get my first property or if this was around when I get my bonus beginning of next year, would have bought it by now as it's a great opportunity to get the ultimate spec even if you did rebuild the engine and replace a load of bits and do a full respray.
Really hope someone takes this on as a project as it'd be a crime to strip it. :(
Good luck either way as it's a bargain IMHO.

Oh my god, that is cheap for an N/A especially if it was a manual N/A. Someone is going to get a really good deal (I think this is the cheapest TT I have ever seen :( ) unless the price goes up (which I and others think you should seriously consider doing)
I need your telephone number plz call me or pm me your number.. mine is 07872 397 207
I'll take it and cash ready.
Plus i will be bring it back to its former glory. :)
Pls PM me.

good price in fairness, ashbhp u buying this or whaaaaat?? :D
i would have thought being a car that money talks so first come first serve with the dosh ;)
half tempted myself LOL
Seems a far price for a rather tatty looking car. Unless you can do the jobs yourself it needs a lot of cash spending on it to bring it up to anything like what I'd call decent.
Those headlights look awfully clean for a 14 year old jspec.
I'd be cautious.

Yes
has any one herd from the seller. :d
Hi all
Thanks for the post Peter P, I am fully in agreement with your thoughts. I hope the the buyer does take it on as a project, (and if I had more time available and could put up with the costs of running it daily I would be doing it!!). I personally wouldnt have sold it to someone I knowingly knew was going to strip it.
Incidentally, it is now sold (unsurprisingly!!).
Regards
Nigel
Did it sell to a member off here?

I am going to pick this up on the 1st Dec when he gets his new car delivered, all being well with the car when I arrive I will own another Supra, just need to get my story straight for her in doors now, as the reason it was just too cheap not to buy may not do just before xmas :D
Thank goodness it didn't go to some idiot that was just going to break it.
you calling me an idiot
my dads harder than your dad
you calling me an idiot
Do you see your name in my post? But to keep you happy you're an idiot. :rolleyes:

Good news! Like others, I am glad it isn't being broken. ;)
Get a grip of yourself.
Let me know when I can let go.
Ps I have corrected your post.

If it all looks straight when I go to see it I will be getting it back to full working order but keeping it Stock thats for sure, one single turbo is enough, this will be the daily driver :)

Nice one. I was hoping whoever bought it would keep it in one piece :)
Agreed, no one wants to see a Sup slaughtered. Well done and good luck with the new project.

This seems a bit dodgy. Is the car stolen? There is no way anyone would be so stupid to sell it that cheap. Either that or it could be one of these gangs that get you to turn up with the cash then bash you about a bit and make off with your money.
Nah, it's got a zillion miles and needs a new heater matrix :shudder:

It is full HPI clear and has shown to be with the current owner for 7 years so is just a high miles bargin which needs a heater matrix which I have had done before so know what to expect :)

I never for one minute thought it was dodgy. Even with the miles and matrix, I reckon you have had a bargain there. ;)
i always fekin miss out :( anyone else got any bargins to be had?:)
Yeah this was a genuine bargain, well done Dean :thumbs:
Ive never had anyone think I might be part of a gang before, I quite like the idea
:eyebrows:
Dont forget to bring your crash helmet Dean
:p
Oh and TT Jim, I must be stupid as my replacement car is a fecking Avensis diesel!!!!
Utter bloody lunacy ;-)
Did have to succumb to the T180 though, which I beleive can be chipped :d
