looks like a Group A LSD to me. Looks like its got plumbing for a cooler.

There are a few places in Japan that sell used or spare race engines. You can buy a 3SGTE from one of the GT500 Supras for about $11,000. Id imagine that the engines from the Group A Supras can be had as well if any are still left.

IIRC the Group A Supra used a chunky (but light) magnesium differential housing?

that just looks like a stock coated housing with a brand new -AN fitting tapped into it...

That was my thought extactly. A while back there was a picture posted here of the magnesium diff somewhere by someone.

Previous owner shelled out for it, then sold the car just after to me. Think he paid roughly $280 au for it.It came as a standard item on all turbo-a's.

The JZA70-R had the same shift knob and steering wheel as the Turbo-A

I have a brand new MOMO shift knob like that for mine and also a brand new centre pad for the steering wheel

I fluked getting a mint steering wheel so didnt need to buy a new one of those

I think my body kit counts...I see a handful for sale here and there around the world, about half of that number actually on cars, and absolutely none in the US; let alone with a Kaminari front bumper...pics of mine in build thread :D

From what I can gather, one of two things is true: either BM Performance only installed 15 of them, or only 15 kits were ever produced...different sources give me different information in different languages. Translating it all is a bigger pain than it's worth, and I'm finding that wheels that fit this kit are even more rare than the fiberglass itself.

What is that??

combo vacuum manifold and PCV manifold. the two ports connect to the valvecovers PCV ports. it cleaned up the engine bay a bunch, but I'm changing setups so the manifold is for sale now. im getting my mill setup, so more unique parts will be on the car eventually.
