I have a 1997 JZA80 non turbo 5 speed Supra for sale. The car is in immaculate condition and drives perfect. Even being a non turbo it is still pretty fast, faster than most stock Skylines at Wakefieild Park clocking a 1:15 at a recent track day with an average driver. The car cannot be registered. Ring for more details 0419277774. It comes with standard Supra wheels not the wheels pictured. Asking $12,000. Open to resonable offers need to sell, otherwise will wreck.

The car was stolen and recovered, it was deemed a statutory write off due to major stripping not accidented or damaged. The car has now been put together and is 100% legit but still listed as a write off. If you had some pull with the authorities maybe you could do something, I tried and couldn't. Somebody could do a body swap if they have a major damaged car allready. I have receipts for everything, no funny business.

Talk of doing a body swap (i.e.: rebirth) is hardly legal.

Can not understand why a non-damaged body will be hard to re-register. My mechanic bought a front damaged GTiR, that was written off, has fixed the damaged body, and is about to register it legally. If the car was not structurally damaged what is the issue?

They don't let them get reg'd again so it stops people going out and stealing another car and stripping that to put the origially stripped car back on the road. I was asking a wrecker yesterday about it.

That's exactly right, but if you had a crashed Supra and you showed the authorities both cars before doing anything you would be allowed to rebuild the crashed Supra using the good shell and they would then issue you with a new vin number. It was all too much work for me and I don't have a crashed car nor can I afford to keep it just for racing.''OFFERS CONSIDERED''

    • Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?
    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
    • No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.
    • Does anyone know if this is off centered? Looks like it, when I indicate to go right, but turn my steering wheel slightly left it cancels (was always like that even before I started messing around with it) was wondering if anyone else has the same issue?
    • Nothing photo worthy since last update, lots of little plumbing bits for the AAC/Cold start valves, and unfortunately I still need another couple of parts for the brake booster line and the AAC into the plenum. Otherwise it all looks good to start up engine wise, onto checking the electrics/interior
