Comments / Modifications:

Car is like NEW all round

-Fresh import from Japan, just been complianced and registered for 12 months. Comes with 12 months Australia-wide warranty.

-The car is by FAR the best I have seen of any series 2 Supras, condition is like new. Kilometers (84,800kms) are genuine as evidenced by the immaculate condion of the car.

-97 series 2 supras are the last supras with non-VVTI engine. As these non-VVTIs are arguably much easier to modify than the VVTIs, this makes them ideal to start as base for a highly modified supra- you get the awesome looks of the series II, including the front updated clear headlamps with black background, updated tail lamps (looks much nicer than series 1 when lit), clear front indicators, rear bumper side lamps, new dash, the reliability of a newer supra and the most recent non-VVTI engine for the big modifications to come. The stock auto transmission has very good response,usually capable of handling 300+KW. A shift kit (MV Automatics among some others have kits for under $500 fitted) should see the box handle some serious power.

-HKS coilover suspension, adjustable.

-3 inch exhaust with 4 inch tip.

-Front head lamps fitted with HID, much better vision than the stock supra headlamps. Matches with the series 2 newer look.

-HKS intake with pod filter recently fitted.

-Blitz turbo timer

-Brand new tyres on stock 17inch wheels.

- Serviced recently as per compliance, including fuel and oil filters.

- Supra TT bigger brakes (stock).

- HKS front strut brace.

- Aftermarket sideskirts.

- Supra mats (new), carpets look brand new (black).

- Driver and passenger airbags (series II feature).

-The car drives like a dream. VERY QUICK in the fairly stock condition it is in. Exterior is immaculate, engine bay and interior looks new. All electricals including power windows, retracting mirrors, power drivers seat, dash lights, climate control air con work perfectly.

- Ideal for anyone looking for a non-modified engined supra to modify to own taste.

- Any inspection is welcome, as it will come out flawless.

- Genuine buyers will be able to assertain the quality on viewing the car. Photos do no justice.

-Car was purchased with views to my wife driving it as well (she does not like driving manuals), however she has decided to get another car, hence I want to move onto something in manual.

- strictly no joy-riders please. Genuine buyers only.

- The Beauty is in Adelaide now. Price is $25,800. I will sell the car with 3 months South Ausie rego and number plates to SA buyer. NSW buyers are welcome to grab her with the NSW plates and rego. Please contact me on 0433136391 if genuinely interested. Cheers.

    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts
