Ok, since i crashed the porsche and its been repaired, im leaving it in the garage and buying an NA Supra.

I found one yesterday, good price, 1993, black, good system, tint, exhaust and wheels...

Does anyone know anything to look out for with the NA? Like common faults that i can check for? As far as i can tell its clean as but id like to be certain...

Also, what are these like for insurance? Just cars was closed when i got home yesterday, so if anyone has an idea about what it will cost that would be great...

Thanks Guys , Matt.

Yeah id love a twin turbo one, but insurance is the biatch!

man u should have got a 32 in the meantime!! :) insurance aint that much for it... im 21 and it under 3k

i love pulling up next to ultra riced up supras that arent turbo yet have all these stickers and kits on em thinking that makes em tough and go fast and embarrasing the person in it with my stock 32 :)

if i was going to get something heavy and non 4WD id get a 300zx or a soarer.. they are all boats to em :D

well seriously the n/a supra's do make a bit of power, more than my n/a rb25 r33. about 15rwkw more or something, but as lots of people have said before, the price u pay for a non turbo supra would get you a gtst. but if its an insurance thing an n/a supra could be cool to get, but then again why pay so much for an n/a car when u can pay less for an n/a r33, or even an r32 with an rb25de in it

just my tree fiddee

N/a supra's are ok jsut check to make sure ithe body is ok is it a manual or auto If its auto its probably had an easy life manual tend to get hammered you can mod them up to 450hp in N/a form so there not a slug alot of work has vbeen dpon in the us.

jsut make sure it has reasonable klms drive and enjoy it .

btw if they had a back seat that was usable I'd be sitting in a supra forum now I nearly bought an N/a supra.

yeah they are cool.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
