3MZ-TFE no shit?!

Does your registration have the VIN# and say supra?

 

[IJ.]

Mine weighs about the same

Nothing wrong with my VIN. The Toyota EPC decodes it correctly. What did you's guys's say?

So who's going to break the news to our poor cars about their identity crisis.

 

[mobes]

Hell a Land Cruiser with a 3MZ might even be lighter!

I don't think too many MKIII Supras are going to be used as fleet cars any time soon, so there care factor is non-existent I'm sure.

This decoder is used for newer types of vehicles (like late 90's and newer), not older ones. Toyota doesn't do VIN's like they used to back when the Supra was made.

Well... That changes everything. Thanks for setting the record straight.

 

[noah89t]

according to what yall posted, your cars have an STD, at leat 1:biglaugh:
shouldn't be sleeping with the celicas:nono:

 

[suprabad]

Stock ride height is about the same.

 

[tbcmorris]

I have a point to add....when I added my new mkIII to my insurance I had a bitch of a time because they said the vin was no good. I wonder if this identiy crisis stuff with them coming up as land cruisers has anything to do with my insurance problem?

 

[RazoE]

mine said the same shit...

 

[DegreE]

Where do you look up the VIN to see if mine is a 'Land Cruiser'?

Front drivers side lower windshield.

Front drivers side lower windshield.

I know where the VIN is on the car, I'm asking where are you entering the VIN to get this info?

Doubt it.

Also, the only reason Land Cruiser comes up is because in the newer VIN's if the 8th character is a J it's a Land Cruiser. In the MA70's VIN, that character is used for if it's a Targa or not, so it has no relation.
