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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
