Hi guys
Moving the Supra on to get a 6MT. The Auto is fantastic, I'd probably keep it, if all my other Supras weren't manual.
13,000km
Only mods - yellow painted calipers
In fantastic condition - never washed by the dealer, ceramic coated at 14km, no marks at all on the interior or exterior...
The fact that the Z is based on the Z34 platform, that was based on the Z33 platform, really ruins it for me. I didn't enjoy the driving experience of those Zeds at all.
Plus retro styling never dates well. You're always better off with something evolutionary.
Lack of stereo is a slight problem, I'd want more kg lost for lack of sound haha
Regardless, us Aussies won't be getting that option.
Speaking to the dealer today, it looks like the 6MT will be offered on our GT and GTS grades.
Very close!
There actually was no A70 = NA, A71 = turbo, but it was a confusion at the time.
A45, A46, A47, A55 = 1st Gen Supra
A60, A61, A63 = 2nd Gen (There was a turbo model in Japan, MA63 with MTEU engine)
A70, A71 =3rd
A80 = 4th
A90 = J29= 5th Gen
But generally, you just say A40, A60...
I found even with stock power, the car is a completely different animal (in a good way) with all the VSC and TCS off completely.
I am experienced with high power RWD cars though, not that a stock A90 is high powered.
I still love the ZF8, it's fantastically good, even with 3x other supras with MT.
I will drive a 6MT A90 before making my decision. The ZF8 is that good.
In Germany/Europe, it is mandated that the rated power output (at the crank) is a minimum.
Hence why so many GER/EU cars make more than advertised (BMW and Porsche are notorious)
I think it's a lot more clever than initially thought. I believe it closes while driving in certain gears, in normal mode.
It also doesn't help that the muffler on the Eu and Au models is massive, so the open valve doesn't sound much different to closed - its is very quiet.
useable backseat in the A80 if you have no legs - i'm not tall (6'0") and there is 0,5" of room between the back of my recaro SR2 and the front of the rear seat
Hi mate, would you ship to Australia? How much to Ballarat, Vic, 3350?
I love the raspy sound of the decats, however, I want to remain catted for warranty issues (any mods can void it in Au).
How do these sound compared to OEM?
Thank you
I float around looking for news and rumours, that's about it these days. For me it's about deciding whether to swap the ZF6 for the 6MT version if it arrives.
The rear rotors are around 10-15mm smaller in diameter. That's it. Not enough to warrant caring, given the fronts are the same and do the majority of the work.
