So since I found a cancelled order yellow MT,have to get my bumper repaired from the drilled plate mount holes. FYI it’s costing me $1200( smash repairs cited a complex shape and the need for plastic welding).
It’s at the body shop now and will head to the detailers after it’s cured for 3-4weeks for a full PPF and ceramic coat for $7500.

The wait continues, but I’ve shaved 10-12 months off it since my cancelled order. Not complaining since I’ve got my dream colour now.

Thank you to the person who cancelled!

This is why tracking is both a blessing and a curse! It'll get there!

For those who have received their cars,
did you get a Fuse pick and Fuse diagram(in car, not the one in the car manual) in your rear fuse box?
I seem to be missing those along with pre delivery documentation/checklist and a hazard triangle with my car.

The dealer told me none of those come with the car. I can understand the triangle but not sure about the rest.

it’s not a big deal but just thought I’d check.

I got none of these either. I honestly think we're lucky to even get all four wheels on the car the way Toyota Australia does business.

Hehehehe I got none of that stuff either Jed, they didnt drill holes in my bumper tho so happy about that.
Did my first track day in her on the weekend, took it pretty easy being the first one I have done on 4 wheels for a while (2 wheels only for the last 10+ years).
Had a great day but realised after I had tyre pressures completely wrong. Says 33psi front and rear but mine were over 40 I think for most of the day.
Gave her a wash and a quick run today and noticed that it even shows suggested tyre pressures on the monitor screen,dont know how I missed that on the day.
Oh well, will be even better next time when I get that right.
Those of you that have done them before in your supras, what pressures were you using??

Honestly haven't looked since taking delivery of it. Spending most of my car related spare time gingerly trying to get through the break-in period

I didn't look too close when the dealer showed off all the bits, but is there not a pick in the fuse box like this? -

 

[wilorichie]

Speaking of fuse boxes, does anyone know the main fuse type? For example Mini fuses or Micro2 fuses?

Update: Morning Peace arrives out the front of Brisbane tomorrow Looks like it docks Thursday. This wait...

That’s right, it’s missing the pick and the paper diagram.
again not a big deal… but would’ve loved for the car to be complete

Hi,

I see two main ones. Blade fuses and what might be a micro2 fuse.
please do correct me if I’m wrong, I’m quite amateur with auto electronics.

Had mine delivered last Thursday 17/08/23, order was entered 24/09/22.

Wheels, tyres, catback, intake - all on hand for post break-in install.

Just need to upgrade my crummy S20 Ultra to an iPhone 15 so my photos look better than this lol

Just took delivery of my 6 speed Matte White/Cognac Supra last weekend

Well... Was given an offer for a copper grey MT GTS that I couldn't refuse from a dealer that had it sitting on the lot for a few weeks. Cancelled my azure blue MT GT order that was due next April and picking up this one by end of the week!

Been frantically scrambling all week to organise my first qol mods like wind buffeting, dashcam and ppf etc

Only downside is this car has the front bracket already installed. Detailer for the ppf told me its risky to add aftermarket paint underneath ppf as it can peel off in the future when ppf is removed, so looking at bumper plugs instead of fill and repaint for the front bumper. Only problem is I can't find paint code D14 sparkling copper grey bumper plugs, think I have to custom order the colour!

Also, yes I am posting this at 5am as I haven't been able to sleep properly all week from excitement

Hmmm I was informed that after 3 weeks, the paint is safe for PPF.
What was the methodology for the hole repair?
Mine included plastic welding the holes, reshaping and a full respray. It’s at the retailer getting wrapped now in PPF.

I was ensured that this was the correct methodology by a few different sources.

I've been told the same. Repaint isn't as strong as factory. And there's always a risk of the paint lifting depending on how well the shop prepped the surface.
