How does speed Academy not have 1+milli subs is beyond me, from the quality of the videos, the cleanliness of the shop, to the enthusiasm of the guys and banter. Also the CARS!!! The line speed Academy line up of cars is literally the best on UA-cam. I would really love for you guys to do a $1000 cheap car challenge though.
6:43 according to the map, the car was from Chikushino city in Fukuoka Prefecture. From the south of Japan, so there should not be rust issues on the car.
Attention internet experts: Torsen LSDs behave like an open diff when there is no load on the tires, like when 1 or 2 tires are in the air. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
Which really only matters in an offroad vehicle. Some of the best handling sports cars and track cars ever produced came from the factory with a Torsen diff. As well as the H1 Humvee. But they've got individually controlled wheel brakes to solve the tire in the air problem.
So depressing looking at the JDM market now. These cars use to be fairly obtainable in Canada a few years back before the Americans came into the market. 45k CAD for a RHD TT 6 speed with 150k, a burnt clutch (or worse), and needing engine work is insane.
I remember looking at an GTR34 in lightning yellow for sale here in YVR back in '15 or '16. If I recall correctly he was asking for 75K cad. Fast forward to present day, I'm seeing local gtr34s asked for a minimum of 130k cad :((
A buddy of mine in highschool got his r32 gtr in highschool for 17k NZD, this is in 2013/2014. These days you can't find one under 50k. Almost JDM manual rwd/4wd cars have doubled in price over the last ten years, it's super depressing knowing I missed the window by getting into cars late. Thanks burgerland
I’m holding a 98’ supra for a friend of mine who’s in the US that can’t bring the car over. Came from Dubai and already has a BC title. Car has an ugly body kit, a bit of rust but is an original v160 TT car. He’s given me permission to sell if I can sell it in Canada. Lol any takers? Poor thing is withering away in my front yard
I’m American but I’ve travelled in and around the Caribbean all my life so I’m very much used to JDM cars. The market has absolutely been ruined since we’ve been able to import them.
@@dasteraw These are among one of the few cars that can get away with this ridiculous handle of a wing... this is quintessential mid 90's Toyota styling, to get rid of it would be like burning the Library of Alexandria, I'm not saying there are ways to do this car without that wing that look unique and have their own presence.. however, 99.9% if you don't do anything this wing works on these cars! It was ridiculous in 1993 and a bold statement of styling which made it a benchmark and a trend setter.
That funky wiring on the windshield is an antenna for the JDM navigation system. You'll struggle to reseal the oil pan with the engine in place. Combined with the clutch job, it'll probably be best to drop the engine, gearbox and front subframe out altogether and then split the engine and gearbox to do the clutch and refresh the engine on a stand.
7:51 For the reverse there is a little metal plate when you take off the top plastic panel and remove some of the layers of the shift knob underneath. You’ll see a square panel with a little L shape on the right side facing up (if it’s not bent all the way over or installed incorrectly). I don’t see a part number for it from Toyota but if you look up “reverse lockout panel JZA80 Dewla” it’ll be the first picture that pops up. I’m sure other places make it too👍🏼 @ 9:18 mine has the subwoofer too!
Thanks for explaining how the diff works, definitely learned a new thing! I like that you guys don’t call people stupid for not knowing everything. I think a lot of us who commented about the open diff didn’t know that it was a Torsen diff instead of a clutch type diff
Glad you called me out in your video IN DIRECTLY ... THANK YOU ... i just checked with my buddy with his 97 Supra ALSO with the AO2B "lsd" written on the VIN and when we jacked the rear end up, he spun the drivers side and the pass spun with it in the same direction. So not sure what is going on here.
@9:10 all Supras I've ever seen come with that sub woofer. Mine is a USDM 6 speed turbo and it has it. @11:05 you will need to lift the engine to get to that oil pan. Valve stem seals are a common issue on the 2jz. I just did my valve stem seals on my car along with general maintenance (water pump, timing belt, tensioner, thermostat, etc) and no more smoke. Overall, that's a solid car you have there.
I am CONSTANTLY bombarded with ads for crypto and share trading apps and get rich quick schemes right now. When every market is tanking.... Except cars.

This is wicked! So happy that this has started. One of my favourite cars of all time. Did I see an MR2 easter egg?? 5:30 into the video.. I'm pretty sure it is
The sideskirts come stock on JDM cars, the trunk shade thing stays on the strings, does not retract, not 100% on the AN line in the trunk could be for fuel damper bypass WING: I would go TRD wing since you have those rear spats and sideskirts. They go very well together
@@ghostpimp Overrated yet holds every import record in history. LOL 😂. Quickest, fastest, most powerful, quickest manual, quickest rwd, etc. in the import world, which also includes all European cars. 🤣 It is the only import, along with the GT-R, that can compete with the massive- displacement American muscle cars. That's why it's called the King of Imports. Yes, of course we're talking about the modified game.
That wiring found in the a-pillars and windshield belongs to the Pioneer Carrozzeria head unit. I had identical wiring in my GT-Four from that system, which is surprisingly invasive!
The orange sealant on the rear diff is oem. Yes the engine has to come out in order to change the oil pan. When resealing the oil pan, make sure you follow the Toyota TRSM manual, and use Toyota FPIG sealant. Valve seals are pretty easy to do. Use a dab of the Toyota fpig on the front of the valve cover gasket - per the TRSM manual. I’d say to do cams, as you’ll pick up a lot over oem. Gsc s1 or hks 264 are a good choice.
Guys I so badly wanted you to convert the black one to a manual and twin turbo original setup. That would have been a legendary series. I feel like you took the shortcut, not that the red car is an easy fix but still the black one could have ended up with so much content. I respect your decisions, may be it’s the budget, timing or you just wanted to do it this way. Anyway, good luck and keep up the good work!!
Down here in Middle Earth, I fix JZA80 Supras and JZX100 Chasers every week. Doing a clutch on a 6-speed Supra is not fun. Your options for getting that massive gearbox to clear the tunnel and the flywheel at the same time are twofold: either rotate the gearbox 180 degrees after undoing the bell housing bolts and remove it from the vehicle while it's upside down, OR reach in through the inspection ports on either side of the bellhousing and unbolt the pressure plate and friction plate so that they come out with the gearbox. I recommend option two.
Pull the engine. Investigate any issues you can’t see. You guys are good. You’ll do things right, even if it takes some more effort. We are all appreciative of your work…! My favorite quote is “There’s no such thing as free school. Every lesson will cost you some for of tuition. Embrace the knowledge you have acquired.” My “tuition’ is watching you guys do things I wish I had the time to do. For this, I am grateful!!!! Cheers guys!
Man I've spent so much time around JZA80's, having owned one and being part of a Supra club... Always interesting to see what mods people do to them. I sold my JZA80 and bought a late model JZZ30 Soarer with the 1J Vvti. I ended up fitting a Supra 6 speed to it, but I'd still love another JZA80.. sadly, that boat has sailed now with prices climbing quickly.
I would like to see a 5 speed vs 6 speed time trial at TMP with this two, twin turbo vs single turbo as well, I think it would be great. Fantastic content guys, loving it.
Check Lowcals channel when Jessie built his supra to single turbo, you can just run the oem ecu without a tune, if the fuel and boost balance is there. Just for info.
I'm definitely not a Supra expert (or any kind of expert), but I'd suggest pulling the motor of the red car to do work. With the timing belt, valve seals, clutch, probably swapping out the twin turbos, etc. I would think it would be easier to just pull it out for that. It will also give you an opportunity to look more closely at what you have and spot any potential issues sooner.
The wires on the windscreen are from the Japenese toll and traffic update systems from their motorways. I have an Evo 9 Wagon and had to strip a good 20m of excess toll system, head unit, gps wiring out of it
Use FPIG to reseal the oil pan. You need valve stem seals to solve that smoking problem. Had to do all that along with the main seals when I got my poopra.
The valve stem seals must be really really worn, because it was smoking during idle. When my old engine had bad stem seals, it would fill the cylinders over night with a little oil, and would only smoke for 5 seconds after and it’ll completely go away. Sweet car but not digging the color, but it’s a good thing it’s in good condition
I would love if you guys could do a comparison of the mk4 Supra and the sc300. Nobody has done a direct comparison of these two cars on UA-cam (at least to my knowledge) and it would be awesome to see how the two compare, and I know you guys would do an awesome job in this comparison. I hope that you guys are able to!
Extra work especially preventative maintenance means more content. A win/win for you guys & us viewers. So without further due, take the engine out please
Oil leaks, valve seals, blown clutch, pan gasket and pulling the engine.... there's that amazing Toyota quality DP. The reliability!!! Sounds very much like your BMW comments.... haha. Great series guys, keep it up! PS - lose the rear wing, it looks like a shopping kart.
That stainless line is a fuel line to bypass the fuel dampner. And that sub...there may be a sub in there...there may nit I have had both. But yes it was an option. Also, there is no oil pan gasket... Toyota FGIP silicone. And yes, to remove the whole pan, engine out or K frame out.
I’d keep the original wing…glad the trans is not pooched…too bad the seller hid the worn valve seals. Looking forward to seeing what you do with both of these cars.
i did an a02a to a02b swap on my car, torsen just acts as an open diff when it's not loaded, if you wanna make sure you have a torsen just do a burnout, i did 2 just to be sure and it is a torsen, other way to check is the sticker on it, on the a02 M59 sticker is open diff and M58 is torsen.
Red Rtv silicone is only used by the factory, you can't buy it off the shelf. It's so you can tell if something has been taken apart by the manufacturer or by an unauthorized mechanic. Warranty stuff I guess.
I drove my 98 Supra OEM for 2 months. It hurt each and every day. Finally got down and did the basic bolt-ons BUT ... Kept every single nut and bolt and panel and part even the side mount intercooler ... i mean every oem part that i removed, i still have ...
Beautiful car guys, very good score! I own a few myself and I can fill you in on a couple of things. To do the oil pan rtv you will need to pull the engine out (at least that's the easiest option). Your diff in the red car is a B03B (the big diff) which is a big win for you. The factory subwoofer was just a tick box in the original option brochures, another decent win. Unfortunately all the worn interior trims have been discontinued other than the shifter surround, which luckily comes with a new shifter boot. The only other part you can buy is the drivers window switch surround, but it's from a s2 facelift model and is a different colour. Once again great buy and I'm looking forward to this JDM legends series! Edit: The rear cargo blind can also be purchased new as of a couple of months ago when I got mine.
Doing the sump with motor is is possible but difficult. Would highly recommend pulling it out Also check to see if the leak is from the front main as that’s a common one with non vvti 2jz. Mint car though 🤘🏼
Wingwise depends on the plans for the gtr! I think the two cars should be pretty matched in terms of aero and aesthetics, so if a z-tune kit is in plan for the gtr than something more agressive should be done to the supra too (ridox??)
Might bee good to yank the motor.... get better eyes on everything. Specially around those twins... reseal the whole thing. Maybe do a headgasket as well... gotta do a clutch and valve seals anyway...
Sorry to tell you guys its an engine out job for the oil pan leak. I guess you could hoist it up a little and not take it fully out since you guys have equipment but normally engine out. There is an upper and lower pan technically. No gaskets just black RTV silicone.
I guess i got lucky. 98 Supra 6 speed with 30k miles, original and in mint condition for $40k .. Grandfather purchased it new in 98, had a bad stroke in 2000, passed it down to his son, he had a massive stroke in 2010 and passed it down to his nephew which sold it to me to buy a house back in 2020. Family kept car and never modified it, even the nephew at 25 yrs old that had it for 10 hrs and NEVER modified it one time. He said he knew its value in stock condition so he left it as is.
nah its the same mk3 to mk4 to change the oil pan gasket you have to pull the motor or drop the subframe, and dropping the subframe a little doesnt help at all either you have to dorp it all the way.
So... Here in Ontario and you just posted a widely viewed video showing you have no catalytic converter... Obviously you have to add one before you can put it on ANY public road or get plates until you get rid of that goofy dryer vent "exhaust". Unless of course it is going to be a trailer to track toy? (in which case looks don't matter LOL)
@@speedacademy all cool... I only mention it because I have enjoyed watching you build cars that you do indeed plate and drive! This obviously can't be plated without reversing some of the rice.
TRD wing, hands down. The OEM wing is nice and plays off the curvy, jellybean styling of the MK4 but that TRD wing really brings some structure to that otherwise ROUND ass.

The silicone could also be for shipping purposes so that coolant does not leak during transport due to some strict EPA regulation

I drove my 98 Supra OEM for 2 months. It hurt each and every day. Finally got down and did the basic bolt-ons BUT ... Kept every single nut and bolt and panel and part even the side mount intercooler ... i mean every oem part that i removed, i still have ...
You get that black Supra back to OEM and I'll make you an offer!! 👍👍
Even though my original love is, and always will be, the Silvia S14!! 😍😍
Dave, I always thought the duck bill was the cleanest look on these Supras. It really is amazing how much these are selling for today.
The silicone that bulging out of the hose is also a common sight in Malaysia.
Same here in Brunei as well
Beautiful car guys, very good score! I own a few myself and I can fill you in on a couple of things. To do the oil pan rtv you will need to pull the engine out (at least that's the easiest option). Your diff in the red car is a B03B (the big diff) which is a big win for you. The factory subwoofer was just a tick box in the original option brochures, another decent win. Unfortunately all the worn interior trims have been discontinued other than the shifter surround, which luckily comes with a new shifter boot. The only other part you can buy is the drivers window switch surround, but it's from a s2 facelift model and is a different colour. Once again great buy and I'm looking forward to this JDM legends series!
Edit: The rear cargo blind can also be purchased new as of a couple of months ago when I got mine.
First thing I would do is bypass the clutch switch and always start it in neutral without pressing the clutch
Doing the sump with motor is is possible but difficult.
Would highly recommend pulling it out
Also check to see if the leak is from the front main as that’s a common one with non vvti 2jz. Mint car though 🤘🏼
TRD Wing!!!!! Looks the best !!
I love the red! So glad to see more comparable cars (condition wise) between the Supra and Skyline
8:27 I have those same little things on the window of my Evo as well. I have no clue what they are for, maybe an alarm system?
Wingwise depends on the plans for the gtr! I think the two cars should be pretty matched in terms of aero and aesthetics, so if a z-tune kit is in plan for the gtr than something more agressive should be done to the supra too (ridox??)
Might bee good to yank the motor.... get better eyes on everything. Specially around those twins... reseal the whole thing. Maybe do a headgasket as well... gotta do a clutch and valve seals anyway...
Please do a trd wing...love it
Some ppl have no supra, few ppl have one, speed acedemy has two that were both a steal!! How can I find friends with cheap Japanese classics?
You can do oil pan gasket in car but you will need to raise the engine a bit. Aristo is just as bad if not worse
Great episode, like the investigations. Beautiful car, Red is my favourite.
Sorry to tell you guys its an engine out job for the oil pan leak. I guess you could hoist it up a little and not take it fully out since you guys have equipment but normally engine out. There is an upper and lower pan technically. No gaskets just black RTV silicone.
All the stuff stuck to the windshield and the wires there were cut are all for the toll system.
I guess i got lucky. 98 Supra 6 speed with 30k miles, original and in mint condition for $40k ..
Grandfather purchased it new in 98, had a bad stroke in 2000, passed it down to his son, he had a massive stroke in 2010 and passed it down to his nephew which sold it to me to buy a house back in 2020. Family kept car and never modified it, even the nephew at 25 yrs old that had it for 10 hrs and NEVER modified it one time. He said he knew its value in stock condition so he left it as is.
It won't be a SA build without removing the motor at least twice. Don't worry about that subframe.
nah its the same mk3 to mk4 to change the oil pan gasket you have to pull the motor or drop the subframe, and dropping the subframe a little doesnt help at all either you have to dorp it all the way.
What's kind of cool I really like supras but I'm a big fan of the Mark III so learning some things about the Mark 4 will be kind of nice
So... Here in Ontario and you just posted a widely viewed video showing you have no catalytic converter... Obviously you have to add one before you can put it on ANY public road or get plates until you get rid of that goofy dryer vent "exhaust".
Unless of course it is going to be a trailer to track toy? (in which case looks don't matter LOL)
These vehicles are used for video production purposes, they don’t see the roads and when they do its on a trip plate.
@@speedacademy all cool... I only mention it because I have enjoyed watching you build cars that you do indeed plate and drive! This obviously can't be plated without reversing some of the rice.
TRD wing, hands down. The OEM wing is nice and plays off the curvy, jellybean styling of the MK4 but that TRD wing really brings some structure to that otherwise ROUND ass.
My butt clenched when you revved it in gear with the door open like that right next to the hoist.
You need some mid-roll ads. This is quality content
The stock wing is great but nothing beats the TRD wing!
I think you should keep the oem wing on the red car. Never been a fan of the TRD wing.
