Lucas Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Hi guys, Just quick question really. If you import a Supra and it has around 50k miles what is the kind of service you should get done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_SWZ Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 If your not sure about the cambelt get that done for sure its well worth spending a few pennies instead of alot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 If your not sure about the cambelt get that done for sure its well worth spending a few pennies instead of alot of money. may be true on a 300zx, but its not "alot of money" if the supra one goes..........

Homer Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Get all the fluids and filters done, here's the notes I made on my main service checklist, which should also be made for new imports: - Engine oil - Oil filter (use Toyota/lexus V8 only) - Geabox oil (V160 ONLY for the 6 spd) - Diff oil - Fuel filter - Air filter (if using stock airbox). If aftermarket, replace or source a stock airbox - PAS fluid - Coolant - Brake fluid (5.1 highly recommended) - Clutch fluid (if applicable) - Drain the fuel tank and replace with new optimax (new imports) - Reset ECU Initially I wouldn't worry about the cam belt unless its visually bad. Its no biggie if it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pabs Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Luke mate, sounds like you've got a plan I always like to get whatever I can done to the car as soon as i get it - that way I'm happy that its been done and that I won't have problems in the future. Don't skimp, as it'll cost you in the future (as I've found out - can't remember if I told you or not though ) Good luck mate, and let me know how you get on Me is v.jealous! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Well you learn something everyday. What damage does it do ? The stock engine is non-interference so no damage is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul_SWZ Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Had a quick look at my autodata CD and it say's the 2JZ-GTE is an interference fit engine and damage will be caused if timing belt breaks. Im sorry if this info is incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terawua Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Hmm... non interference AKAIK as long as stock (well less than 264) cams are in place - check with people more knowledgeable than myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
