dont forget to take into account

-torque

-gear ratios

-driver skill

It's not just power that makes all the difference. I dont know the specs on supra's but I know toyota makes some good powerful motors. Common sense though tells me an R33 gtst will rip an NA supra (if both drivers of equal skill).

EDIT: NA supra's would be doing 14's down the 1/4. stock.

I am quite a heavy guy so i must weigh my car down even more, but i can not see myself doing quarter in 14s. I haven't raced a stock r33 yet, but i don't mind trying. Even as owner, i doubt i can really do that well against it. Don't get me wrong, its not slow.. but i think compared to most of the cars i go out with, the power output is too little. Fortunately its still be best looking car in all the DRD's. :) :shake:

As a comparison tho, i have heard it beat stock 180sx and r32 with exhaust and air pod. I beat a charade too!!! ( i dunno why he tried to race me) hmm... i dun have many other kill stories ..hhehe

just my 2 zloti.

can't argue with that one ... most girls don't even know what a turbo is ... i dont' even think a gtr can compare to a supra in a girls mind ... beats us in that department :D

I saw a NA supra (new shape) running the quarter up her in NT. He was so ashamed he actually pulled the number plates of his car before he ran 16.2s over the quarter, either he was useless or the NA supra is all show and no go. I heard that later on in the evening some mates pulled up next to him in a 100 series turbo diesel land cruiser wanting to race him at a set of lights but he didnt want to :P

If Im not mistaken, NA supras run the 100 in high 6's and the quarter in about 15sec. Meaning the're around about on par with stock r32 gts-t's and a bit quicker than stock NA r33's (0-100 in low 7's/ mid 15's quarter mile).

I saw the stats in one of the import performance mags a little while back, comparing NA supras with r33 GTS's.

HPI tested NA supra with NA R33 Skyline and Supra came out on top. Probably cause the supra has 500cc more capacity.

Comparing NA Supra to R33 GTS25t ain't exactly a fair match up. Supra's got more displacement, but a turbo will more than make up for the missing 500cc's in the R33.

On top of that modifying scope in the Supra is a little narrow.

    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
