The reason for the cut out is that Japanese rear plates must be bolted to a non removable part of the car, then have a seal placed on one of the bolts. That applies to all white number plate passenger cars……reason seem to be so that people can’t swap or steal plates, road tolls and taxes here are horrendous.

The remote control was the thing back in the 90s. I had one for my Alpine/JP stereo system. Instead of leaning forward to hit the button, you had a remote typically left in the cup holder that can do everything the buttons did on the unit. Kinda of a safety feature when you didn't want to take your eyes off the road. The remote I had consisted of six buttons. Disc change, skip forward and reverse, volume, and a power off.

I'm honestly impressed with the amount of questionable/awful modifications. It's really kind of incredible.

Best use I found for a remote control on stereo head is in a lifted truck, or a slammed car. When the vehicle is bouncing all over, it is hard to push small fine buttons on the dash.

One trick, to get used to JDM wiper/indicator arrangement is to put your left hand on the gearstick while engaging the blinkers. Thus you need to use your right hand for that.

The reason behind the remote is for passengers to control without having to reach across the center console ‘for safety reasons’. Volvo used to do this with Built in Nav back in the early-mid 2k

They started in 1993. 1993.5 isn't a year. Technically you could argue that they are 1992 given there are genuine pre-production models that did find their way out of Japan but 1993 is generally accepted. Sorry if you think I know nothing about these cars. I've only owned them for 20 years.

Yo Tavarish. Man I've been following your channel since you only had 20k subs. Great to see you crushing it bro.

FYI the "easy pass" machine located on the side is a highway toll payment system (called an ETC). In Japan highways aren't free, so you insert your highway card into the slot and it automatically pays without you having to stop to pay manually. The Japanese lady's voice when you turned on the car is telling you the card isn't inserted.

Mileage is one thing in Japan, but a significant concern is engine run time. Because there is a lot of traffic and you can spend hours just slowly moving through traffic. So some cars that don't seem to have that many miles on them, have double the engine run time the mileage would suggest.

In Europe we use to party in the parking after the discos shut down. The sound systems back then in some cars were crazy, The remote control was useful to control from the outside, I imagine same thing in Japan.

A car that I wished I had never sold. Had her before F&F came out. So many memories, but unfortunately life got in the way.

The reason is that Japanese rear reg plates are permanently attached to the car via a tamper-proof seal on one of the bolts. Most JDM cars have the plate mounted to the bumper....

side note for anyone interested, I had a 2JZ VVTI that was a JDM motor. Car would take forever to start (like Tavarish) and after a few minutes of priming, it would start. Ended up being an issue with the twins, switch to a single and BOOM started right up.

Around 10:25. Remotes for stereo head units are usually for sound competitions. At a certain decibel level you’re no longer allowed to stay in the car during the “run”

Remotes for decks were used for rear passengers, when you're outside the car but playing music and want control, for front passenger if interior is cockpit style (angled away from them).

The remote control is if you want a passenger or someone in the rear to DJ or if you're parked and listening to music outside the car you can change the radio controls from outside the vehicle

In Japan there is special tamperproof heard where that hold the licence plates off and when the plate is mounted to the body in the rear there is generally a 10mm bolt that you undoubtedly flip the plate up and slide the bumper off over it

I'm still waiting for the day that Esprit finally gets shown off. I want to see it on more than just the stand!

The rear wing blade is kevlar and would have been expensive when new, its likely original Veilside. The brand new steering wheel/cheap gauges and N/A engine/screwed clutch would have been because all the fancy parts were removed before it was sold. Switch is for the rear fog light.

honestly now that i've seen the whole thing, i love all of it if only it would've all been in good condition. especially the interior and veilside wing. i'd paint it a really flashy color and chrome the VS5's, and make it as tuners in the 90's would.

My Japanese (RHD) Imported (to Australia) Black 1993 (Series 1) MKIV Supra had an insert in the rear bumper covering some of that hole (not all of it though). The horizontal fins in the insert sat either side of the license plate when fitted. I would think that your 94 would also be series 1 as well. Mine was also 5 speed manual (SZ not the Twin Turbo RZ) with the cloth front seats, leather rear seats, no airbags (Tri spoke steering wheel and double glovebox) and a factory LSD (Rare I was told). It also had orange side indicators that I changed to clear (like yours). I removed the ashtray in the centre console and used that hole as my cup holder (Yes they're essential). I had it for 6 or 7 years before I was T-Boned in it. Unfortunately it never drove the same after the repairs so I sold it. I'd love another one but they're way too expensive now. I look forward to seeing how you go with yours. Brings back so many memories. Good luck! :)

The remote for the stereo is for when you install the real speakers and it is almost painful to be in the car when the volume is up. For competition you can stand outside of your car and still control the stereo. I installed a system into a hatchback Civic and when you turned up the stereo it became hard to breath in the car! And the damage to my ears was probably also not good, so with the remote we could control it outside the car

@Tavarish The point of a remote for the radio is to control it, while standing outside the car, at things like car shows.

The quick release bumper is instant added lightness. The Esprit(s) would approve.

The little box next to your left leg is the ETC card machine. It’s used to pay highway tolls

I think the remote isn't necessarily for cars. There's lots of other places that will use a car head unit. For example boats while yes there's marine head units but they're kinda garbage 90% of the time and depending on the type of boat you can use a nice car head unit. I've also seen people use them in their garage for music or even the interior of their house. And obviously there's RVs where you really wouldn't have a dedicated stereo receiver for music you'd just use the head unit in the dash.

Once it’s a Supra it’s a HUGE win especially for free 😩

@@yuris6125 It's not illegal if it passes MOT, at least not in Europe, where LHD JDM cars always fetch at least twice the price of a RHD. In some countries you're not even allowed to drive RHD cars in traffic so not converting it would be illegal 😅

The reason the radio has a remote is for when ur outside of the car and playing music and want to skip a song or turn the volume up or down. For example if u and the boys r playing some ball and want some music while ur playing.

the gps screen isn't that someone damaged it or keyed it, its a common failure with LCDs where the polarization filter starts to break down. if you touch it, might be sticky even. That unit likely is really old and been sitting in some heat for a long time.

Dang, wish I had a free car. Haha, my mom was a single parent and I've always worked for my cars and older motorcycles . Hopeful to see this restored of fixed up properly!

The card slot nearby the pedals is for the ETC card. it allow to access the paid highway without need to stop for a ticket (yes I know, american people often miss that in many country you need to pay the highway). So, you sign a contract, get a ETC card, slot in, and then you can properly roam for the tokyo highway. Edit: the "female robot" told you that there is no card slotted in.

The 'easy pass' thing is for toll roads. You pay a subscription and put a card in it. There's prob a little sensor on the windscreen. (My delica has one that talks to me in Japanese every time I start it. Got a Japanese friend to translate what it says... 'pay your subscription...')

Jeez, for free? I wouldn't care what condition a Supra was in if it was for free x_x I've dreamt of owning that car even before Fast and Furious made it popular. 23+ years now

The plate is cut out because the license plate mounts to the chassis in Japan. So that way they can take the bumper off without removing the plate. Super strict laws about plates staying on the vehicle at all times

I love how he always says the brakes are small. I have yet to see tavarish actually drive his cars and use his big aftermarket brakes 😂
