New 2024 GR Supra MT Yesterday. What do you wish you knew when you first bought your GR?

[Mibson]

I would like to know any tips and tricks for this car. Taking care of interior, taking care of engine, breaking in engine etc etc; basically anything.

I plan to drive mostly gentle for my first 1000km (620 miles). Vary rpms from 1k to 4.5k mostly. use all 6 gears. Get an oil change early, idk perhaps 1000km or 2000km.

I think you're soon going to wish you knew how to use the search function on this forum.

Search is boring, I could just use Ai.

So do that then. Answering the same questions over and over again is even more boring. Anyway, what oil do you use?

If I used Ai I wouldnt have you ask me what oil I use. The interaction is better.

Its new from dealership so factory oil is 0-20 I think right?

I found after ownership that it's a dood magnet...

Supposedly the car doesn't fully shut down power unless the car alarm is set. Also you cannot arm the alarm unless the hood is fully shut. So if you are planning on not driving a lot and plan on storing the car with a battery tender, which you should attach under the hood not directly to the battery in the rear, you need to fully close the hood and arm the alarm.

I plan on driving it very often and never letting it sit for more than a week at most, ty though.

Sorry if this is a bad question, I got the car less than 48hrs ago, but when I lock the doors I assume the alarm sets?

Yes Im reading the manual, but Im too busy driving it.

This is not true. I have accidentally set off my alarm multiple times in my garage with hood not fully closed over the years.

Mine sits for months over the winter, you are fine. People worry way too much about crap that isn’t actual reality.

Power and electronics shut down about 6 or 7 minutes after you exit the car, whether you lock your doors or set your alarm. At that point only things on are the always on electronics.

I don't drive often, after I park the car and get out, the electronics stay on and eventually power down. I leave the car unlocked in my garage.

Members on a forum are more inclined to help when you have done your research and mention things you've tried that worked/didn't work and you ask advice on what you should do or if you missed something. There really is a wealth of knowledge on here and reading it helps expand your knowledge base.

Straight up asking basic questions that have been asked over and over, such as what oil should I use? Should I do a break in oil change? etc are topics with many threads out there. Making a new thread about it just clutters up the forum. I get you want the interaction, but you'll get a better response if you find a thread pertinent to your question and add to the discussion there rather than make a new thread for the 11ty billionth time.
