G'day from Tasmania, Australia, SN95 owners!
Long time lurker, but thought it appropriate to finally join, as I picked up my first SN95 this evening. (That's right, I'm living in the future
)
It is an Automatic, Deep Forest Green 1994 GT that has travelled a mere 58,633km (approx. 36,400mi) in its 30 years of existence.
Sold new in Japan, back in '94, It was imported into Australia in 2001 & professionally converted to RHD.
I'd wanted a pre-New Edge SN95 for quite some time.
I feel they are very under appreciated... And they're extremely uncommon to find in Australia.
Back in 2021, I sold a 1995 JZA80 Toyota Supra (which I'm fairly sure is now in the US) & almost took the plunge on an Ex-Jap 1996 black on black manual Cobra.
Unfortunately with the world the way it was, particularly Victoria - which is where I was living at the time, I was without employment and had very minimal income, so made the hard (but wise) decision to pass it up.
I've kept my eyes open for a tidy example of an SN95 ever since, not having much luck until I found the one I bought, a few weeks back.
The original listed price was quite a lot more than I was prepared to pay... But it came down. Then it came down again.
Tempted, I went and had a look, but still wasn't prepared to pay what the seller was asking.
The price came down AGAIN, yesterday. Tonight we met in the middle!
First thing to do is acquire a set of the smoked Cobra-style Headlights.
Second on the list, I'm going to refurb & slap on a set of Japanese-Forged BBS wheels, which I currently have on another import.
Then comes the lowering. It's essential, it's sitting like a family SUV at the moment!
Anyways, that's enough chatter...
Below are a couple of pictures of my GT:
PS: The "Export" taillights aren't for sale, don't even ask.
