Question Where to get MKIV Supra front clip these days

Hi I m looking for a few 1993-1998 Supra Turbo front clips for a SC300 and a Supra 2jzgte conversion.

I have been searching on this forum and the web and I am getting sick of searching.

Anybody know any websites that I can get them from. If someone can help me get them form Japan would be great also.

Finding a U.S. front clip is just pure luck. They sell real quick. as for JDM, I know streetimports.com had one a while ago. If you are serious just e-mail the major importers and they can get them for you.

For me it is. I only live a month a year in Florida the rest of the time I am out of the US. I know there have to be places in Ca.

I need some help finding some place up there in Ca who can order them for me. Websites, phone numbers anything.

If I purchased a JDM GTE would the transplant to the sc be the same as if I bought a USDM engine?

No, do a search and youll find out why, It has been discussed many times in the engine and transmission forum. Thanks

Theres a guy out here in Chicago who just crashed his 6 Speed MKIV, it has damage but i think you could easily part out everything out of there, if you want i can get you his info, or you can go onto Supraforums.com and look it up under the for sale section

you dont want JDM Supra parts. The USDM engine is better. Has bigger turbos/cams/injectors. There are some other differences i think, but its not worth it. If you dont find a wrecked USDM supra, look for salvage titled ones or just buy the parts new. There wont be much difference in cost from what i have seen.

If you're gettin a 2JZ-GTE from japan, it may be tempting to get a newer motor. but do not get a VVTi motor. They are garbaage when turbo'd. They don't hold as much as the no variable motors and are harder to tune
