JohnA Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Do you know any UK Supra owners. Race them. I hear J-specs are slower! With all the missing leather, plastic headlights, smaller brakes, missing coolers etc they're probably lighter though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 You know, you could just check: 1) the emissions diagram stuck to the underside of the bonnet 2) the tyre pressures note stuck to the inside of the drivers' door shut 3) the note on the passenger sun visor If they are in Japanese, you have a J-Spec -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samurai446 Posted April 24, 2005 Author Share Posted April 24, 2005 All sorted. It's a J-spec, searched the car for clues. Underside of lid on centre console box has jap instructions in it. Cheers guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 and lastly.. it doesn't have the UK spec 'Toyota' badge on the left rear, but then neither does my UK spec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menghini Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Do you know any UK Supra owners. Race them. I hear J-specs are slower! As I understand UK/Euro/US and the Japspec got the same 0-60 time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 As I understand UK/Euro/US and the Japspec got the same 0-60 time. I think RedM was baiting the J-Spec owners... trying to wind them up. Officially they have the same 0-60, although 'officially' the J-Specs only have 280bhp. In reality they have pretty much the same 320bhp as the US/Euro specs. J-Specs have more low-down torque, but a little less higher up. Or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, and the turbos spools up a little bit faster then the UK/EU/US spec....I am driving a japspec we imported from UK right now (gonna deliver it to a customer soon), and it's impossible to drive without boost ....
