Edwards Lees have a Supra coming in that I have the auction sheets for. The weird thing is, they have listed the car as 0kms on their site, in carsales and on gumtree. I wonder why.. ?

Ill reveal the Information I have when they reveal the Kms on the car.

Congrats on your newly updated website! Seems this new one allows you full control over the VIN/chassis number field. Fortunately I have some screenshots of the old one - not GTR's but some interestin

How would "you" feel if you were an emigrant

> shipped out from Japan

> your medical records were lost

> washed and dried instead of being examined

> arthritic rust covered up with cream

> given a face lift instead of a liver detox

> sold off as a virgin slave who's never done a marathon

Wasn't referring to you Chris :)

Strongly recommend the black 1999 "vspec 2" currently at Edward Lees, complete with epic front end hit and home made vspec 2 sticker.

Great buy.

There will be an 18 y/o that will buy that. Same as my customer bought a manual GTV ( think about that for a second) as they were all auto.

Lol, don't buy an RX7 from Edward Lees either....

http://www.edwardlees.com.au/stock/1999-mazda-rx7-type-rb-3041.htm

"Mint Mint Mint and totally original and stock standard RX-7 . Rare, unmolested, unmodified – Travelled just 56,000 kms this car is like new inside and out."

Rare, unmolested, unmodified.......apart from the aftermarket exhaust, gear knob, turbo timer, strut tower brace, pedals, stereo system.....what a dick head. Judging by the wear on the steering wheel and seats I would say that this car has well over 100,000km on it.

Wow

I've been referred to as a tarted up import and a lemon, all in the one topic.

Last time I bring in an immaculate GTR with 256,000kms and sell it with 33,000.

Kidding!

Name change to nightmare car city perhaps?

I am so over the constant clipping of kms. It has a negative impact on everyone involved, from dealers to buyers. If I was buying again I think I would only go with a car that has had one trusted australian owner with history and NOT bought from dodgy dealer or import again myself.

This Supra is for sale somewhere. Do your research, find out where and then know not to buy your GTR's from there. Or any other car for that matter.

:)

That is shocking. Plus it looks like its got some serious accident damage history with the entire panels from one side and the boot replaced. That shouldnt have been complianced!

It needs to be compulsory for imports to be sold with their de-registration papers. If they cant supply dereg certificate, go somewhere else!

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'd want an even MORE side on view. More or less you want to make sure the outlet is actually square with the outermost part of the bumper. Or you end up getting soot all over your bumper from your hektik exhaust. In any case, it looks pretty close. I think the way to fix this is probably more of an overhaul at an exhaust specialty shop if you want tips that are rounded off or sit nicely with the bumper but have proper clearance and don't move - Probably more of a redesign than a quick fix. I've pencilled in my own exhaust with its own various problems, pinholes, PITA fitment, and other issues and can see myself going to a shop and saying "JUST DO THIS BUT BETTER?"  Which is gonna work better than any more small fixes. I'm gonna chime in here officially with "from an outsider perspective this exhaust looks fine so this is self OCD probably" (which I also suffer from)

      It be 40°C outside lately. 10W60 is a good idea here. Well, certainly 10W50.

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I just did an oil change on my daily which used oil that is probably 2-3 years old. Normally I try to follow exact viscosities, but my LS400 is fairly tolerant. Dumped something like half a quart of 0W30 Mobil1 ESP X2 in there, followed by 2 quarts Pennzoil 5W30, followed by ~1.2 quarts of liquimoly 5W30 LL04 spec oil. Then the rest was QS euro 5W40 which is actually so thin it's basically a 30 weight oil. All this is to say it doesn't matter that much. We aren't talking about brake fluid. For an RB I would recommend a high ZDDP oil because it doesn't use rollers in the interface between the cam and valve, but a 5W30 or 5W40 is fine to use for street use. The 10W60 guidance really only applies if you're getting it hot and pushing the engine hard.
