Not a widebody. Boost may be a little high for stock turbos at 1.3 bar. Recommended max is 1.2.

If it didn't have the Lambos it would be worth a look at the right price.

Those doors don't look as if the push outwards before the lift, which means if the car flips no-one can get out.

 

All depends on price.

nice appart from bumper, doors and wing - like the colour. Boost wise 1.1 bar is fine, however 1.3 is reeeaaallly pushing it for (assuming) stock turbos, consensus says 1.2 is max boost for stock turbos

Looks nice. I like the colour.

Although I am no fan of the Veilside C2 front ... nor lambo doors ... I think its a clean car.

A said, 1.3 bar on J-spec turbos is a lot ... I had my euro-Spec running 1.4 bar when I was BPU ... but the steel turbos are a lot stonger than the ceramic one's. I think 1.2 is a max to go on j-spec and should give you around 400 bhp ... nice power

I've never seen twin filters on stockers before.

Especially ones that look like something from the Early Learning Centre.

 

I think that car doesn't look right, maybe it's been owned by a Japanese equivilent of a chav? It's had some money thrown at some parts (Defi gauges, nice bodywork) but then they've skimped on other more important bits (filters).

Are they the smaller brakes too?

Not a fan of VS but it does look in good condition i suppose it would depend on the price you could get it for.

No point blanking out the company logo, its obviously >>>KING BUYER

no guys its sitting at a brokers in japan, and its got nothing to do with that >>King buyer Something's not right here. Do you have any other, more recent, pictures? i.e. ones not taken at the King Buyer premises?

No one has answered my original question though- What is it worth?

Over here (UK) it would be worth, say, £8000.

I reckon It'd fetch £10,000 without the LameBo doors and with a less 90's bodykit.

Thanks Jake..are you sure that is this KING BUYER's premises? Who is this guy? I recieved a message from the seller last night and its a trading co. in japan, they have hundreds of vehicles listed.. I am currently organising a broker in japan to get a mechanic to inspect.. any other reason it doesnt seem right..last thing I need is to do my cash on something I should stay away from..

maybe I should just keep my NA... I dont drive fast anyway now they have these car confiscation laws...I just really liked the way that thing is setup (aesthetics wise)..and the color.. I never really liked lambo doors tho but I think they have grown on me..If I was gonna fit lambo doors to my NA which is the best kit, or are these summin to stay away from like I have heard they dont fit, u have to cut your car up and weld 'n' stuff...is there any bolt on kits that are quality?

 

Oh by the way thanks everyone for all your help and advice so far...peoples opinions and constructive critsicism is why I put this up...

add thanks to the guys who reply (see edit history)

Personally, walk away from this one and take a deep breath. It isn't a once in a lifetime opportunity to get *that* car. As for Lambo doors, well horses for courses, I think they look cool - on Lambos Not my cup o tea when it comes to the Supra. Play safe, car market is slow (well here it is in the UK), no need to make rush decisions - some real bargains to be had at the moment if you look hard enough here (can't be that different in Aus, in fact market should be better). Other than that talk to Jurgen for advice on an import of pimp quality (not sure he covers the antipodean portion of our subscribers) or check out any of the other trusted dealers here they all rock (if you are in Oz, ask Nic for advice on here, he wont steer you wrong!). If anyone pressures you just walk away - no need for pressure sales in this environment.

Thanks 'sdavies' ! I think the walk away and take a deep breath is prolly the best option too somehow...but I still want everyones opinion on this as I am learning from it all so keep the posts and opinions coming guys...and thanks again...

 

oh, yeh, how do I find Jurgen or Nic? and can anyone point me to some auction/ dealers sites for supras so I can compare and get an idea of what I should be payin..?

 

Thanks guys! this has gotta be one of the better forums I have been on.. helpful 'n' witty responses, a little humour and just the right amount of flaming going on...very nice if I do say so...

Nic (aka the import pimp ) or Jurgen - both very respected on the boards (as with most of the traders etc, as we have a reasonably tight vetting system in place!) and can hit you up with good advice, but in all fairness the advice you get from most here - filtering the usual funny banter is pretty good. Nobody here is likely to steer you wrong if you ask a sensible question - admittedly you may have to don your asbestos undies if you say something daft, or repost - but we are pretty good folk all in all... honest

Something's not right here. Do you have any other, more recent, pictures? i.e. ones not taken at the King Buyer premises?

 

Thanks Jake..are you sure that is this KING BUYER's premises?

 

Would this convince you?

as I said I am looking for advice...(wipes egg from face) I had no idea who king buyer was... Can you explain is it dodgy if it is coming from him..?.dont get me wrong I am put off this car now anyways but I am learning and all advice is appreciated..but damn I still like the look of this car

 

Thanks Jake and others for all your input!

Is it the look you are after or performance (tt)

 

the look can easily be achieved on your existing n/a for $$$$ or buy an un/lightly-modified tt for 8k then spend 1-2k on body work to achieve the 'look'.

i smell a rat

I want that look and a I would like a bpu turbo, but that said I love the reliability of the NA.. and that the fact that I dont even bother trying to drive it fast coz there is no point saves my licence.. My NA is in excellent condition (70 thousand km, absolutely pristine condition, almost same veilside kit and similiar wheels) but i would really love a warmed over japanese import similiar to this one.. but I am starting to think maybe I would be better keeping the NA..I just figure I could sell and upgrade for about 3 thousand GBP (I am in australia so i am quoting rough converted figures) I have been trolling this forum for a while now and I get the impression the majority of people on here know there stuff, so I am really looking for advice I suppose....
