Well I have a happy story to tell after many days ringing importers I finaly got to the point where the conversion went like this;
Ring Ring
"Hello, insert Importer name here, wanker speaking"
"Yes hello, I'm after a JZA70 Manual frontcut"
"JZA70? We have an MA70 Cut, JZA70? Is that the new shape or old?"
Click brrr brrr brrr
I did find one at Asian Auto Spares up here in Brisbane but it had 120,000kms on it, didn't look too well and had $4000 on it!!
Anyway thought I had lost all hope in finding one that was in good shape and in my budget. That was until a guy on PF said to ring Jap Parts in Adelaide as he saw a couple there. So I rang the guys down there, find out the owner of the place LOVES his Supras and had recently completed a 1JZGTE swap into his MA70.
He was very clued up. So after an hour on the phone to him he said that one was already sold but they had the other there for $4000, I offered $3500 and they agreed.
He sent a couple of photos of it and it looked very clean. So luckly I have a couple of good friends down that way and rang them up. Ends up they know of the company and have dealt with him in the past. So my friends get there and are there for 4 hours talking Supra taking photos from all angles.
Needless to say I rang up after getting the report from my friends and brought it, got them to ship it to Queensland. It was a perfect cut, they had brung in the car but couldn't get any plates for it so it went the chop  Was a JZA70R with dark green paint.
