Kearney Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Hey lads and lassies. I haven't been on the forum since 2010 as I had to sell my Supra for medical reasons and looking at all the nice cars was torturing me Anyway, I'll explain the story... I bought the car early 2009 and I was the first owner since it was in japan. I had to sell it to a friend of mine towards the end of the year because I had to get surgery on my left ankle and the doctors told me I would never be able to drive a manual car again. I was gutted. I sold it to him and after I got the cast off I discovered that everything was better but unfortunelty I had sold the car I ended up buying a really nice stock R33 GTR Spec 3 instead and have had that since. My friend still had the car over the 8 years but for the last 5 it had been sitting up. I always dreamed about getting it back I absolutely loved the car. I got money together this year and I convinced him to sell me back the car! delighted!! I got it back, gave it a good clean and hope to get it back to its former glory soon. Poor Gtr is kicked to the kerb for the minute haha. I look forward to getting a few bits for it now and possibly heading across the pond again to Santapod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of going down the 1jz route with it but looking at a vvti 1jz! Btw did you ever sell them wheels? The Weds? Still have them. Always will with my p1ss-poor sales technique! Yeah a 1JZ is the smart option, especially in Ireland, seeing it costs less to tax. I wouldn't know much about the newer lumps but hit me up anytime for a chat on whatever you think I might be able to help you with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be, I managed it! I thought the non vvti was supposed to be easier to tune and tougher built, but I may mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
