The Official Australian WAITING FOR MY SUPRA Thread

[lucky phil]

I got the tow hook relocation kit, been waiting for about 11 months almost 12. I got the same email as you on the 31st of august and once I got the email the sales person was able to give me a vin and a ship name about a week later.

Which colour and spec did you order?

Red GTS manual for me no Alcantara. I'll wait for a week and see what the sales guy has got for me in the way of shipping Details etc. Looks like late Jan 24 for me I guess.

I got blue GTS manual no Alcantara.
Are you in Vic if so as soon as your ship docks start making noise about that front bracket.

Finally!!

Considering it, however there are a few other parts already on the list for when the car arrives. That BMW G8X steering wheel looks mighty fine also.

Keen to see some more photos of the Adro kit so if you can put some up once installed that'd be great. Did you get it direct from Adro AU?

Fitted it yesterday, pretty straightforward install although prepare to destroy some of your original front lip as it doesn’t come off too easily, I might have done it the wrong way though.

I came across this video and well.. if it is correct, wouldn't it make all valved after market exhausts essentially useless in Australia?

Does anybody know anything about this?

Wow, OK. I'd be really interested to know more also. This vid is a few years old. Is it still the same on 23's?

How do all the Aussies find the stock exhausts compare to the vids online?

I guess this is where something like the XForce Varex and Smartbox system would come into it's own. It would remove valve control functionality from the ECU and allow for direct control via Bluetooth. No need to mess with the ECU or add additional warranty issue risks either.

I picked the car up, they did a great job on patching up the holes on the front.

Saw this advertised, could be an option for those who'd like to run a valved aftermarket exhaust.

LHD model only at the moment, RHD in development apparently.

Interesting. I personally don't like these after market add-ons and additional button presses. I've opted for an AWE non-valved solution in any case which hopefully bypasses any nanny's our Australian spec has built in.

hey guys, I’ve been driving my supra for a bit now and I don’t feel a difference between normal mode and sports mode.

we also own a Kia stinger and that’s what I’m comparing it to, so on the stinger when I change it to sports mode I can feel the suspension stiffening up however on the supra I don’t feel anything.

Is there something wrong with the supra or am I comparing apples to oranges and to the people that have their supra is it the same experience for you?

I have to concur. Admittedly I have coded my car to start in sports mode (ASD also disabled) so I hardly drive in normal mode.. but the truth is I can't feel any difference.

I also find changing the individual sport settings makes no real difference either.

I was hoping that the suspension got stiffer compared to normal mode, I’ve coded the M-menu however i’m unable to select the drive modes or enable the M-hud.

I’ll probably do the same and code to start in sports mode

It's the same in the '23, I tested mine when I saw the vid. Pretty lame.

The stock exhaust is pretty quiet from the cabin imo - still sounds alright but its mostly the active sound design making the noise

It took a while before I could feel the difference between normal/sport suspension settings. You really only notice it if you throw the car around a bit. It should be more responsive / less body roll in sport.

I haven't heard anyone have much luck with coding any HUD changes. My understanding is that we can't get the rev counter because we're missing physical modules.. but I'm not 100% sure.

This would really be the holy grail of coding.
