I love supra's but ive got a under 20K budget... for awhile i was considering the r33 gts-t because value for money... (for the value i dont think there are any negatives) but i love supras, my favorite car. and im considering gettin a NA. stock for stock both cars have about the same power etc.

if i got the NA supra i would turbo it, first thing ill do. ive heard of turbo kits to give 600hp, cost around 10K

so after 2 years id have a full blown motor in the car i like most

or should i buy the r33 do it up and mayb 5 years from now get a TT version...

im so confused....

also a turn off is driving a NA for a year... id hate for car enthuseists to go "oh nice car... oh its none turbo... pfftt"

what are your opinions??

Yeah dont get the NA. I have a R32 with an RB35DE (factory) and I want a turbo now... I'm in the same boat, that now I'm looking to upgrade to a R34, I want a turbo, but really only have a budget for an NA...

So I will be waiting a few months I guess...

dude you're on a skyline forum what kind of opinions do you expect to get.

ask on a toyota forum and you'll get the exact opposite suggestions.

there is no chance in hell you'd wanna drive the same car for 5 years, i bet ya you'll get sick of it after 2 years max.

Why?

It would cost you a lot less to buy a RZ than to get an SZ and buy a turbo kit on it, and then have to uprate everything else to cope with the extra power.

And I'm no 2JZ expert, but 600hp out of a stock NA bottom end sounds a bit like wishful thinking.

Probably the best course of action would be to get the NA Supra. Once you get used to that, swap in the 5.0 litre 1GZ-FE engine from the Toyota Century.

Displacement, cc 4996

Engine model 1GZ-FE

Max.power (Net), kw(PS)/rpm 280 ps (205.94 kw) / 5200 rpm

Max.torque(Net), N*m(kg*m)/rpm 49.0 kg*m (480.53 N*m) / 4000 rpm

Power density 7.14

Engine type V type 12 cylinder DOHC

Engine information VVT-i

Fuel system EFI (electronic fuel injection)

Turbocharger No

Fuel type Unleaded premium gasoline

LEV system (Low emission vehicle) No

Compression ratio 10.5

Bore, mm 81

Stroke, mm 80.8

Then add two turbos and stir.

Don't forget the number plates: Supra V12 or something similar

Dont get the NA supra or you'll regret it wishing you went twin turbo.

you have 20G's to spend,. find a nice mildly moded GTST and spend a little on it.. they will be faster than any NA supra and will be about the same with any stock twin turbo supra..could be more.

i drive an r33 gtst... i love that car...its my second r33 in fact...and now i have just purchased an RZ 6spd which will be in my driveway in a couple of weeks time next to my r33.

I was in the same predicament mate. I'm a die-hard supra fan, love Toyotas, love Supras, but I only had 20k to play with as well.

I bought an R33 Gts-t and definately haven't looked back. My mate has an n/a Supra and while they are fast for what they are, the Gts-t is faster and feels a hell of a lot more powerful too.

The Supra is a far more refined ride, but when it comes to performance the RB25DET wins hands down. Moreso if you spend 3k and add zorst, cooler and boost.

Now that I've spent 10k on it I realise that if I had have waited and bought nothing, I would have enough for a TT now... but that's beside the point. Turboing the n/a is not a viable option. Either get the Gts-t or stick with a shitter till you have enough for the TT. This could be a good idea.

Oh, an R33 Gts-t with 10k spent on it will shit on a stock RZ. But spend some money on the RZ and it's bye bye Skyline.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
