    I'd say those definitely qualify.. That shiftknob looks mint.

    Anyone think of a good reason the 1j wasn't put in USDM Supras?

    I completely agree with the jump in Japanese sports cars in the early nineties (FC to FD, Z31 to Z32, MK3 to MK4, etc). The odd thing is that there didn't seem to be much of a jump from something like the R32 to R33 Skyline IMO. That seemed to occur more with the jump to the R34. If the GTE...

    Anyone think of a good reason the 1j wasn't put in USDM Supras?

    well, the JZA70 was ~31k USD in Japan in 1990, after entering that into an inflation calculator I have here, that brings us to around ~51k equivalency today. The MKIV was ~35k in 1993, and after the same calculations, the price would have been around 59k. I'd venture to say one could easily...

    Anyone think of a good reason the 1j wasn't put in USDM Supras?

    If the motor change was due to tax structure alone, then why did they release the 3L/2JZ as the sole engine available in the MK4 three years later? The JZA70 with 276hp and 268tq sure was underpowered compared to the unbelievably potent 232hp and 240tq of the 7M. You definitely made a good...

    Gauges, What's Your Opinion?

    They are terrific gauges.. I love the HKS/Apexi/Defi sets that use the control unit.

    The Tial and PT are probably even, but I'd do the Tial..

    well, the fronts were from a container unloaded there IIRC, the door panels and such were from Jarco, and the rear seats were from Sakamoto Engineering (CA).

    ah, okay.. I thought you were referring to something mechanical.

    Cap problem? Can you elaborate, I've never heard of this, unless it's referred to differently by some folks.

    haha, the ironic thing is that they originally came from SoCal.

    I envy your dash, mine is cracked, and is one of the points of frustration when I'm walking up to my car.

    thank you, I would have liked to have found a set of the RECARO TT-R mats, but at this point they are mostly worn out when one does find a set. This just seemed easier, and they came brand new.. In regards to gauges, I have two STRIs (boost/oil press) and Shadow Sports for RPM.. Sooner or...

    JHot is shutting down?! I believe they were shutting down the Ga location, but the one in TX was fine last I checked.

    ***The Black Supras Thread***

    Love that lip aside from the vertical rise on either side of the lip.. It may have worked in conjunction with the full kit, but it looks kinda strange IMO. (IIRC S2 fixed that issue though) Must be nice to have a newer mint mk3 ;)
