Hey Guys, i found a manual soarer, done 180,000kms

has been converted from a auto, it has a W58 and heavy duty clutch.

Also has Turbos from supra? CT12A? (any one share some light?) that have only done 50,000kms

over all seems tidy, going to have a look on saturday..

the guy said he wanst 11k but after looking at general prices and for the kms that seems alittle much.

any thoughts? Cheers

I'm guessing it's a Z30 Soarer?

CT12A means it's a 1JZ-GTE. Turbos are the same in the JZA70 Supra and the JZZ30 Soarer.

180K is getting a bit up there but if she's been taken care off it shouldn't make a difference. Those engines tend to last, the only thing that really lets it down/fails is the turbos after too much thrashing. They are only ceramics after all...

11K sounds a little on the steep side considering you can probably pick up a not too bad looking Z30 for around the 5K mark and then just convert it to manual...

yeah, i thought it was alittle steep, whats the main points and defects to look for on those cars? im alittle concerned about the turbos as he said it was running 15psi

Sorry forgot to say, it is a JZZ30

Just found out that it has a set of ct20a's instead of the origonal turbos, what are they like?

Would that be because you are a pussy and won't actually race when whilst the car is going? :twisted:

Bigger. So you should get a bit more *umphhh* out of it.

Nope, it was purely pointing out that JZZ30's break, and if you couldn't wipe the floor with me when it finally gets on the road there's something very wrong

I know that, i mean are they ceramic, or steel?
Downfalls?

by **Silent Knight** » Fri Mar 16, 2007 9:30 am

It's a Toyota turbo... so ceramic...

Downfalls: Lag, Higher Gas Bill, Potential to kill yourself goes up.

IIRC yours broke a wee while back as well!!
And mine didn't break... I willingly took it off of the road!!!

No where near as much as it should have broken though (I'll get round to fixing that stuff one day :oops:

) , plus it needed a new battery......damn people who don't put the biggest one that fits in

by **bbq1988** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 8:59 am

going to have a look today, im 99% sure ill be bringing it home :S

alil bit nervous because then ill have two cars.. and paying 200+ per month insureance untill i sell the curren

by **bbq1988** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 1:10 pm

ok, heres the story..
Bloody nice car, awsome to drive.. new WOF, but no cert for the adjustable suspension, makes me alil sus... also, on startup it puffed abit of blue smoke, any ideas? the breather are blocked and its running diesel oil so it may be that combo?

Cheers
