Hey guys, i currently have a 33 gts im gonna get rid off, but before that i wanna set myself up with a decent supra, ive always loved supras since i saw my first one, I'm just wondering After i sell my car i wanna set myself up with a decent model like i see all these models and i was just wondering how i would go about getting a 2jz-gte bad boy dropped into one ? Is there any sites that could help out, I'm pretty keen to know as i've never been involved with any of this stuff before and i have no idea?. I live in perth atm is there a company anyone knows of that could possibly fit a 2jz-gte into supra body i've looked everywhere but no one is selling a supra with a 2jz already in it. Would it be a cheaper option to start from stock and whatnot? Or whats the best way to go about this. Cheers

F*** me this section is delivering teh lulz lately. OP been watching too much F&F...is surprised at the idea of finding 2JZ engines in MK4 Supras...

Aside from all that.. You are more interested in buying another engine and transplanting it rather than flying over and picking up a car with it already done... wtf..

Like I said I'll explain it to you for those who can't read I'm new to this stuff . I havnt got a clue on how to buy a car from over east . Who sets up the shipping ?, buyer or seller , do I have to run it over the pits when it gets here I obviously will have to get it licensed for w.a and yes i probably could research but why do that when I could get a more simple and quicker explanation from people who know what they're talking about and have possibly experienced this before

I'm not just interested i'n planting a motor i'n one if u read correctly I said would it be a cheaper option to do so . What would be the best way to go about it. Starting new and dropping an engine i'n importing buying straight-out etc so please read and understand where I'm coming from before coming i'n here and trying to troll thanks.

why research when you can ask and get told?

because nobody will spoonfeed you, this has been asked countless times, and you're not even willing to search for yourself.

We're not trolling, from your posts, the only thing i can understand is that you are a lazy person who relies on being spoonfed and refuses to do any research himself. If i'm wrong then I apologise in advance, otherwise, use the search button on the forum =)

Dude sounds like ur making a rite cock of your self mate, do some research on supra's then ask questions..

People dont like wasting time on responces when ur question doesnt make sence..

you find a supra you like over east.. then pay me the thousands you would save if you researched and called you're state transport and a few transport companies.. and I will sort it all out for you.. sound good? has less hassle for you..

also you never asked about cheaper options in your OP.. you mentioned a swap and then said what's the best option..

Do you even realise the factory engine for a Mk4 Supra is a 2JZ?

That's why people are taking the piss outta ya. Why would you want to "transplant" a motor that is already in the engine bay?

:ermm:

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
