if the guy lets you, take the intake piping off the turbos to check for shaft play and to check if theres oil in the intake, check if the gears grind and listen when not pressing the clutch and see if theres a winding noise that stops when you do press the clutch (transmission bearings) cuz w58 transmissions seem to be prone to leaking. Those are pretty much the things that are specific to his setup that your gunna need to check, the rest would be pretty much regular inspection stuff like on any other car.

Thank you for that info 93.5 JDM
Now I have a couple more stupid questions. where is/how do I take off the intake piping off the turbos, and what does "shaft play" mean and if there was oil in the intake, is that an easy fix or is the engine no good anymore? When I test drove the car, The gears did seem to grind a bit, but I did not listen for the winding of the transmission when not stepping on the clutch. I will do so and get back to you about it. |

Shaft play is when the shaft in the turbo moves side to side And the turbo is bad and oil in the intake is from the turbo it must be leaking

ya exactly, oil in the intake means that the turbo seals are leaking, it doesnt mean anythings wrong with the engine, the intake piping is on the turbo side of the engine where you see the heat shield, well your going to have to take off all the rubber hoses and aluminum pipes to go the turbos to take a look at the compressor wheels of the turbos. Also for the winding noise in the transmission, you have to listen when your NOT pressing on the clutch, then press the clutch to see if the sound changes, its quite noticable, and odds are that if the syncros are grinding, then the bearings are also damaged. Its all due to a low transmission oil level. Feel free to ask any more questions, its a pleasure to answer them!

You guys are both right. I am trying to get tips on buying this car, but at the same time I want to know what/how to do certain things to look kow what I'm looking for, but I buy the car.
I thank you for all the info, it helps me tremdously when going to look at the car and know what to look for, listent to, and take some small things apart to see is there were oil leaks. So none of the postings are useless Oh, and to answer your question PWPanas, I don't have a supra, I've been looking at one I wan to buy, so I'm asking these questions to know what to listen for, and look for before getting myself into one. Thus I don't have a TSRM. Last edited by pwpanas; 08-15-2010 at 03:14 AM. |

Two great Supras are before me, I need to make a careful choice on one of them. I know I want the '93 RZ 6MT but, can't turn a blind eye to the '95 SZ-R 5MT because of the (more) very, very expensive aftermarket parts that it comes with. The '93 is perfect, no issues whatsoever there - original Supra RZ 6MT with great aftermarket parts and in beautiful, near brand new condition. I can already see myself with the '93 but, just need to get my head around the '95 and what it offers.
Thanks for all your feedback so far. I will keep you posted about my final choice and yes, I will set up a thread for you and I to discuss the future plans for my Supra  P.S. thanks for the brake info... Last edited by pwpanas; 12-06-2011 at 03:05 AM. |
