Hi everyone i`m about to buy my first zx TT and put my mk4 NA supra up for sale currently theres a very tidy gun metal tt for sale in Fife at scotland and was wondering if its possibly a member on here or if anyone knows the car, I've read over the buyers guide and aslong as the test drive goes ok everything should be alright, if anyone knows the car could they tell me something about it? or if anyone knows anything i should keep and eye out or watch out for? any help would be great thanks guys :whistling:

I've just had a reply from the bloke selling and he's told me while running the boost sits happily at 7psi... on the buyers guide it says that means it stuck in safety mode and should sit at 9 psi.. is that a serious thing?

you got a link to the add

depends on what is causing it to go into safety mode.

 

Mine was in safety mode due to the fact that it had the wrong thermostat installed and the car was running too cold. (new thermostat and problem solved)

 

Ask the guy if it boosts all the way when pushed hard.

 

as above - link to ad would help us give you more accurate opinions.

 

Check all the usual - particularly rust especially if it has lived near the sea.

It's my car that is for sale, just to clear things up. on boost the gauge sits on or just above the middle on the plus gauge and on normal driving sit at 0. I trust that that is normal and hope you guys can confirm.

 

Regards,

Thats handy! always a + with it being owned by a owners club member, were you able to get a photo of the boot?.. oh and ask for rust only a slight bit on the arch :D i already think the car is a bargain i`m just checking everything i can think of

Hi Mike.....

 

....on full boost the stock UK guage should sit about 3/4 between the middle and the far right. Middle = 0 and far right = 14psi; half way between middle and max is 7psi (safety boost) so it should hit the next marker along.....

 

.....that's stock. On a cold morning; or with minor mods like air filter and exhaust, you should see it on (or slightly above) the 10psi.

Just been out on a run to check the boost & goes upto to the level marker between half and 14 so running correct boost.

 

Got to say not keen on looking and the gauges whilst travelling at speed.

 

Richard Thanks for your help on this one.

No worries mate! I know what you mean about watching the guages.......

 

Looks like everything is OK then - good luck with the sale/purchase gents!!

 

Richard:thumbup1:

lol thanks for going through the trouble to check I`m trying the best i can to not sound like an a*se or be to cheeky with all the questions but everything so far is pushing me more and more for the sale and just selling the supe straight away :)

ask all the questions you need to mate, the car looks a very nice motor

its starting to look like a to good to be true kind of car but i`m getting excited over it, the missus is complaining about petrol but i dont think it can be worse than my supe as i have to be very careful in that to see 18mpg lmao :D

 

*bought to be driven not bubble wrapped*

Will it be possible to get some photos of the engine and boot please? :)

Peter,

 

I will take pictures of the boot and engine bay tomorrow and post them for you.

 

Please note that I have had an offer for the full asking price and awaiting for a holding deposit.

 

Will keep you informed.

 

Due to past deals the car is still for sale until a deposit is paid.

 

Regards

 

Mike
