USDM Supra VS JDM Supra - Differences

[@nsxfever9513]

The active aero is cool 👍

[@jdmcarfan]

I know!!! It was a fun looking for differences. Hope your weekend is going great. 😃

[@nsxfever9513]

Dave Clamor yes it’s going pretty well. Finally got the new carbon bits on the car and was able to do a cars and coffee meetup 👍

[@DriversTherapy]

@@nsxfever9513 Sweet! What carbon bits did you get on the NSX?

[@nsxfever9513]

Driver's Therapy “nsxfever95’” on instagram for the pics but a carbon front lip spoiler and carbon type r spoiler 👍 I am loving them

[@DriversTherapy]

@@nsxfever9513 Sweet! Congrats man. I am following you now. 😎

Rear wipers are flipped too. JDM tailgate seems to have the rare cover. JDM rear bumper will have a huge cut out. Active spoilers were standard on UK and Euro specs and are black by default, they also came with the scoops and had diff coolers. It's nuts the amount of little differences they had and the amount or rare features some never came with. I think the USDM version looks best.

[@DriversTherapy]

Thank you for sharing those details and watching the video.

[@nivamonicolas]

I have an RZ 94’ supra and mine came with the twin turbo caliber brakes it was an option on the jdm models! And mine came fully loaded with full leather seats and power side mirrors

[@DriversTherapy]

Thank you Nicolas for that info. Sounds like you found a RZ model that was spec'd out. Pretty cool. Thank you for watching the video.

[@greengumbyy]

I'm a little late to this, but fyi the oem floor mats were discontinued years ago.Those are worth a TON of money now, especially if they're sealed and unopened. Whatever you do, make sure those are taken care of.

[@DriversTherapy]

Thanks for that info on the mats! Pretty cool stuff. Also, thank you for watching the video.

[@andrewmcintosh9832]

The JDM version has a '98 steering wheel. And there is an airbag lol.

[@DriversTherapy]

Andrew McIntosh oh neat! That makes sense know! Did the 1994 JDM steering wheel look like mine?

[@andrewmcintosh9832]

@@DriversTherapy Yea I believe your wheel is the same one in the Camry lol.

[@DriversTherapy]

Andrew McIntosh probably one bad ass Camry.

[@Hayabusagsxr1300]

No it doesn’t dude... you’re an idiot. The JDM version does not have an airbag and it’s not even close to be a 98 steering wheel 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@LonesomeDrifter1987]

Honestly it doesn't seem fair to compare two modified supras instead of 100% bone stock ones

[@ericxhcurioso3357]

I love how its both stock😍

[@DriversTherapy]

Erich Curioso I have enjoy it stock. It’s a great car to daily too. Thanks for watching the video.

Fun fact hard top is NOT more desired.. that’s why they didn’t make as many in the USA.. And as of right now for desire. I have been told folks in US want a hard top more and folks in Europe want a Targa more.. but that just seems like because in Europe they made waaaaay more hard tops vs targa and USA was the opposite lol. In my personal opinion I would much rather have a targa top.. because in theory it is a hard top when installed. Plus you have the option of having something a little better than a sun roof! And my personal observation of being on all the Supra pages on Facebook and groups. Most folks are looking for a targa top in the USA. I know for me it didn’t really matter but I leaned towards targa since I had a solid roof before this one.

[@DriversTherapy]

Awesome info! Thanks for sharing that and that kinda makes sense when I think about it. The whole weight vs performance and such.

[@Bimmer182]

That is correct about the folding mirrors for tight parking spaces in Japan

[@DriversTherapy]

🤘🏽

[@jstsmslovenc92]

No, you're not crazy. Side markers on the front bumper are dark orange on jdm models, usdm have orange ones. The facelift models have side markers on the front bumper instead the fenders. There are also slightly different shapes between JDM and USDM side markers.

[@DriversTherapy]

Miha Šuligoj ha! Thank you for letting me know that. I thought they were different. Thanks for watching the video.

[@jstsmslovenc92]

@@DriversTherapy NP. Thank you for nice video.

[@patrickmcfly3264]

Usdm has re-enforce aerotop chassis to handle the gte twin turbos

[@DriversTherapy]

Nice! I didn’t know that. Thanks for sharing man.

[@Tommyblueeyes]

Why does the '94 JDM have a 1997+ series 2 front bumper? (the vertical bar across the grill?)

[@DriversTherapy]

Good questions, not sure either...

[@angelmendoza1762]

Surprised you missed the biggest exterior difference in the side skirts and rear spats on the jdm model. The wipers are reversed and another thing to note my jdm 93 rz came with cruise control factory. Oh and on the temp dial you have Celsius rating vs Fahrenheit on usdm

[@DriversTherapy]

I am sure I missed more than that. Thanks for the info.

[@jjb101]

Do you enjoy driving the Supra or the NSX more?

[@DriversTherapy]

jboog45 I enjoy both equally but on different levels. The Supra is more of a Grand Touring car and the NSX is a down right sports car. If that makes sense?

[@lotusesprit38]

My targa top as got all of the US market but i have the active front spoiler as standard but 2 airbags and Euro Supra bonnet scoop for cooling the cylinder number 3 and 6 they say, but it looks better without it in my opinion

[@DriversTherapy]

Nice! Are you located in the US? Sounds like you have an interesting combination of options.

[@tsparks011]

is there a difference between the jdm side mirrors and the usdm, i have the jdm ones but don't turn out all the way. i was thinking of purchasing usdm ones, any advice?

[@DriversTherapy]

I could be wrong but the USDM models did not have motorized fold in mirrors. I think that was an option for the Japanese models. Thank you for watching the video.

[@Wretched2JZ]

1:00 “and look at that!”….😂 it’s an ugly lip/spoiler in my opinion. Good mod not to have. Just more stuff I wouldn’t want on mine.

[@DriversTherapy]

I like the lip but you can always sell it if you had it lol

[@zodiac8786]

JDM is better

[@DriversTherapy]

Weaker turbos, smaller brakes, and a lot of other missing features that USDM cars came with. The U.S. market at that time was the main customer for Toyota and they make the Supra for the U.S. market better and charged more.

[@Tommyblueeyes]

@@DriversTherapy The brakes were upgraded and as an option on '95+ JDM Supra Rz....to exactly the same as the USDM market. The '94 JDM in ur vid has the series 2 front bumper for some reason (with the bar across the Grill)...The Euro Supras were even better than the USDM. I like Hardtops so the JDM/Euro is for me.....Upgrade the turbos and injectors and hey presto! Or just leave stock...AND as you stated yourself...There is a whole lot of mess going on near the firewall of the USDM..Not to mention the JDM is the TRUE Supra....It was made there after all...I'm Australian so we only got the JDM imported here..(right hand drive of course) Also, The JDM supra series 1 you could get an airbag steering wheel or the tri spoke non airbag at that time....

[@dannysamsam2467]

It’s really not though. Euro spec mk4 supra is much better than the shitty jdm

[@arbytaufik5944]

Nobody talk about the speed limit of JDM supra only 180 km/h

[@DriversTherapy]

Good point!
