Hi Everyone! Just got a Nocturnal 2023 2.0 about a week ago. Still real new to the car scene. Hope to learn a lot from you all here!

The local dealership wouldn’t let me sit in it and I was prime on the books. I’m glad they lost the sale.

Honestly, that's a never do business with them again event.

Good Morning & FNG here!

I was blessed enough to pick up an 24 GR off the truck & man this car is fun!

Currently waiting on TE37 Ultra M-Spec in Bronze and Rex Speed V2 duckbill to arrive.

Vehicle is fully wrapped with STEK Reaction PPF and all lights and emblems are wrapped in Smoke PPF as well.

I went with that brand since the installer I usually use was able to hook it up for dirt cheap compared to other places near me.

May I please get tire size recommendations for the Michelin PS4S, I don't plan on lowering my car or installing coilovers this time around?

The rims specs are 19x9.5 +23 in front and 19x10.5 +35 on the rear, don't want any rubbing or scrubbing or trimming.

Mine should be arriving this month, what PPF shop did you go to? Looking to do mine in matte/satin. I'm in the OC.

I went with my friend’s store Tint World in San Diego. If you’re ever in the Mira Mesa area I don’t mind meeting up so you can check out the full wrap and tint. They even ceramic coated my TE37s and calipers and PPF wrapped my Rexspeed V2 duckbill. Haven’t had a chance to take updated photos lol

Hello everyone! Glad to be a part of the Supra family, I just signed my papers on a 2024 Nocturnal Supra Premium 3.0 MT. Look forward to learning more about the car and meeting up with some local people who share the same love for this amazing ride!

Hello
I walked into a showroom and inquired on the first Supra I saw. Picked it up in mid April. 23 GR Supra 3.0 AT Premium in strat blue. Early May it got hit in the parking lot at work. Been waiting ever since for insurance to approve repairs. The first month and a half of ownership has been less than ideal but I’m thankful it still drives. I’ve been feeding her 94 octane and I feel like I could get well over 600km off of one tank if I ever ran her dry. Just inflating the tires up from where they were made a huge difference. A true driving machine in every way. I’m 5’11.5 and I face backwards and roll in when I get in. I utilize the auto stop and auto parking brake all the time. I almost never use sport mode. My favourite part of the car other than the instantaneous speed is the way it turns. It’s so tight and smooth. At first I didn’t like the seats but after playing around with it and getting the lumbar support going it’s like no driving seat I’ve ever been in. I find that because it is based off of similar architecture as the Z4, riding with the windows down is almost a must. I bought the wind buffeting parts from Verus but with the car being damaged I’m really just too bummed to even put them on. I was so slowly getting used to the car I hadn’t even taken any pictures of it before it got damaged. I never even test drove it, first time I ever got behind the wheel was the day I picked it up. I’m planning to drive it into the ground and I suppose I’m locked into that now that it still has new car smell but junkyard looks lol. At least I’ve lost my option of selling it back right? No looking back now.

How bad was it damaged? You can almost always get it up and running, good as new, unless the car was totaled. After it’s fixed, get it detailed, to make her look new again. Then you’ll be back at square one and enjoy the hell out of it. That is what you bought it for right?

Hi everyone. Waiting on my 3.0 Supra in copper grey I ordered a few weeks ago. Located in NSW, Australia. Looking forward to being a part of the community and driving the crap out of this amazing machine.

It’s not so bad. The car is really well made. Hasn’t changed the driving characteristics in any meaningful way that I can tell. The front driverside got clipped by the truck it was parked next turning right. The bumper started to “peel” and the (I’m so green I don’t know what the black part is called but that) detached from the car. But is still attached. The lights are untouched. The parking sensors don’t work anymore. I’m still working on lowering my 9L/100km gas mileage. Driving a fast car slow beats driving a slow car fast any day so I don’t even really care cuz when I’m driving I can’t even see the damage. Last I heard from the shop parts are on back order so, it’s just a matter of time now. Just hoping it’s done before winter cuz I’m in Canada.

She looks great! You get those things fixed and (again) will as good as new. Why sell and take a loss without enjoying her. The reason you bought it in the 1st place ?
