Ok, since i crashed the porsche and its been repaired, im leaving it in the garage and buying an NA Supra.

I found one yesterday, good price, 1993, black, good system, tint, exhaust and wheels...

Does anyone know anything to look out for with the NA? Like common faults that i can check for? As far as i can tell its clean as but id like to be certain...

Also, what are these like for insurance? Just cars was closed when i got home yesterday, so if anyone has an idea about what it will cost that would be great...

Thanks Guys , Matt.

Yeah id love a twin turbo one, but insurance is the biatch!

man u should have got a 32 in the meantime!! :) insurance aint that much for it... im 21 and it under 3k

i love pulling up next to ultra riced up supras that arent turbo yet have all these stickers and kits on em thinking that makes em tough and go fast and embarrasing the person in it with my stock 32 :)

if i was going to get something heavy and non 4WD id get a 300zx or a soarer.. they are all boats to em :D

well seriously the n/a supra's do make a bit of power, more than my n/a rb25 r33. about 15rwkw more or something, but as lots of people have said before, the price u pay for a non turbo supra would get you a gtst. but if its an insurance thing an n/a supra could be cool to get, but then again why pay so much for an n/a car when u can pay less for an n/a r33, or even an r32 with an rb25de in it

just my tree fiddee

N/a supra's are ok jsut check to make sure ithe body is ok is it a manual or auto If its auto its probably had an easy life manual tend to get hammered you can mod them up to 450hp in N/a form so there not a slug alot of work has vbeen dpon in the us.

jsut make sure it has reasonable klms drive and enjoy it .

btw if they had a back seat that was usable I'd be sitting in a supra forum now I nearly bought an N/a supra.

yeah they are cool.

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
