Yeah, I like the body styling, altho interior I suspect will be as bland as other Toyotas... Unless someone recolour some trim parts with other colours like silver or woodgrain... depends on which style they want..

the orignal version of that engine (mk3 supra and soarer) had the twin turbo's. in later model cars ie the jzx100 they dropped the two small turbos for a single larger one. its more responsive and less laggy aparently.

then, how come all the jzx100s listed at j-spec auction data are twin turbos???

I think the single turbos were pretty dam rare. The 92 supras had singles and they got vvTi as well. Most of the 1jz's out there are twins dunno why maybe they started concerntrating on the 3.0 2jz and gave up on the old tech.

Even on some supra lots of ppl modify them into a single turbo conversion, as it is far cheaper than buying two sets of turbo and a good single turbo will do the job well.

Alternatively, I think it won't be long until someone stick in a twin turbo charged 2JZGTE engine from a Supra into a Chaser JZX100... Dunno if that can be achieved as gearbox mount, driveshaft length etc could be different. But the engine bay suppose to fit as it looks larger than a Supra.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
