Good to know people like the product before putting them in. Similar feedback from Australian users :)
I did them under the car by myself on my MA70. You're not wrong about close tolerances / difficult to install - never again.
Posting a couple more parts that are waiting in the wings..
New front emblem :)
Big thanks to Hybrid, APEXi Power FC ECU - plug and play for JZA70.
A 415-A003 Power FC boost control kit also ordered and on its way
RonnieK bushing kit I've had for a few years.
Steering rack...
Small update, yesterday I painted my faded and rusty rear speaker grills. Due to the above mentioned seatbelt installation, water had dripped on them and they got messed up over time.
JZA70 rear speaker
Thanks Dan.
Due to the challenge in finding interior parts, I've researched this a bit. The 'deep red' colour appears to have become available approximately the same time as shadow grey. Unfortunately, for me, it seems to have been an RHD option colour only for the JDM market, and only on...
Maybe that is where I found the photos. And yes photos are still on their site - after seeing your armrest I ordered colour samples from them :)
My research for Australian and Japanese cars found the second letter correlates with base trim level.
For those markets it seems to relate to things...
Ah sorry the x in Lx32 was the trim level which I left out as it is very car specific. L is leather, 32 is the colour.
I saved some seat pics from your first post :)
Removed hatch rubber bump stops. Took a lot of force and heat to break the loctite.
Polished up headlight / foglight plastics and chrome
Purchased new side indicators. Comparison with old shown
Just realised that I had previously saved pictures of your interior as a reference for my build. They came up in a google image search :)
Do you mind me asking your interior trim code? Interested if it's Lx32 or Lx33
Also are they Redline Leather Goods handbrake boot and gaiter? Can see...
Thanks - they will come up :)
So I've found some cracks under the quarter glass windows. Both sides are the same.
My previous car had similar cracks in the same location.
Jumping to 'a' potential cause here, but both this JZA70 and my previous MA70 were fitted with stiffer than stock...
For reasons unclear to me, compliance workshops were required to replace all the Japanese seatbelts before the car could be registered in Australia. For the rear, they accomplished this by bolting pointy head-height brackets with NEW holes in the drilled through the chassis and quarter window...
Hatch had rust in it. Once the extent was confirmed, it was easier to buy a used (relatively) rust free item.
And all new exterior trims
Except for the LHS window ventilation louver. If you have a new one to suit hardtop, or a pair, please let me know!
Curt Aigner from Elmhurst Toyota, great service and very good prices as a bonus.
Here's another photo of the gear boot, it looks OEM and better quality in my opinion.
Not a Toyota item, though it looks like it might be. Full grain leather from an ebay seller from Surrey in the UK. I bought the same gaiter and handbrake boot from him in 2007 for my previous Supra, and they were in perfect shape 5 years later when I sold the car (daily driven).
Pool ball shifter wasn't really... my thing. Also bushings etc were completely flogged out. So I bought a new shifter, bushes, gear knob and leather boot.
And a C's shifter
Being a JDM only model, the JZA70 came speed limited to 180 km/hr, also maximum indication on the dashboard...
Wheels are not to my taste either.
Photo from previous owner sent as the car was loaded.
Car arrived with an aftermarket steering wheel, pre 89 indicator stalks, and 23 km put on it by the shipping company.
Also a radio wiring rats nest
So I bought a OEM pioneer radio (JDM period...
Hi all. I have some Australian supra owners asking about my car, so here goes.
It is a white manual hardtop JZA70 with a build date of April 1992. JZA70-BLMVZ. I purchased it from an interstate seller, sight unseen in January 2014. The car was registered, but was sitting for a period prior to...
