These are very nice cars. Made from 1986.5 - 1993. There was an update to these models I'm not exactly sure when but it is around the 87-89 year. There is a few different models:

GA70 - 1GGTE engine. 2.0L, twin turbocharged, DOHC~210ps

MA70 - 7MGTE engine. 3.0L, single turbocharged, DOHC~230ps

JZA70 - 1JGTE engine. 2.5L twin trubocharged, DOHC~280ps

The 7MGTE engine is really a strong engine. All you will have to do is get a metal headgasket, and new head bolts and torque it down, some people tend to torque it down a little more than the specified torque. The factory torque rating was pretty shitty.

The 1GGTE engine, I had a mate who owned one of these and these are nice engines also. His was fitted with FMIC, Exhaust and a bit of boost and made 170RWHP. Internally these engines are really strong and will shine with a big single on it. There is also three different versions of this engine, the GEN 1 came with a water to air intercooler. GEN 2 ran more boost and an air to air intercooler. The GEN 3 engine ran more boost again and a more agressive tune, also an air to air intercooler.

The 1JZGTE engine, well these engines just have a reputation for themselves. I myself have owned two 1JZ powered vehicles. A JZA70 R and a soarer. The JZA70 R is the lightest of the supra's weghing in at 1550kg. There is other models which will weigh up to 1700kg with seat warmers, fully electric seat and stuff like that. The R supra came with bilstein shocks, momo steering wheel and knob, and also recaro seats as standard. I was very happy with my JZA70 R, it was drifted and held up to everything I could throw at it. The suspension was a bit soft for drift but as an everyday car it will be fine.

I hope this helps.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
