Hehe... yeah, I know what you mean. I just spent a load of cash on a 15m Nismo limestone wall, but the house just won't run the 1/4 mile any quicker. I'm hoping that the 3" stainless gutter and hi-flow stormwater drain will add a bit of zip though! Wouldn't waste my money on those new Mugen garage doors though - that's just pure rice...

I don't think there are any diff between n/a & tt supra, only when you look at the engine, or at least look at the dashboard instruments then you'll be able to pick it up. Also the gear patterns. the TT has 6 fwd gears while non turbo only have 5, but can sometimes have 6 if upgraded.

The various body kits that ppl put on their supras will also make it even harder to tell, as a tough look supra can turn out to be an n/a, while a very plain looking one could indeed be a twin turbo.

The same as a VS 5.0L Clubsport Commonwhore on my

Hi Steve,

Is that a stock standard N/A Supra with only pod and exhaust ?? Any engine management ?

I'll be very happy if mine is anywhere close to that :( ..

Anyone here know what's the performance of a N/A Supra vs a GTST ?? Probably a mismatch ??

All I can say is I an SOOOOOOOOO jealous! I am a poser at heart, and I love Supra's.

Not sure that I can forgive you for being sick of your skyline after only 3 months though... OK you twisted my arm... take me for a spin in the Supra and I may forgive you... Let me drive and you may not forgive me...

I plan on a Supra next. Don't know much about them though. Finances forbid any purchasers any time soon. Mods on the house...I seriously think I spend more time in my car than my house though. Hmmmmmm Prorities. Serious meditation session required.

Hehee .. just sell your R33 and get an N/A Supra as well, I don't know much about them either :P

Actually, I got tired of it within a month :( I thought it looked pretty bland compared to a Supra, GTO and NSX (My opinion only of course!! :) ). Anyway, when I saw this Supra I knew I had to have it :D .. Hope to keep the Supra for at least 2 years before looking at an NSX next.

Yes, I have to go on one of these cruises one day and see if the Supra can keep up with the GTS-T :( ..

I think most skyliners would hav a supra if they had 2 choose another car!

Darn !!! I wished my girlfriend feel the same as you guys !! :P She thinks the Supra is UGLY and has a hugh arse :shake:, which I have to agree because the longer I looked at it, the bigger the arse appeared to be :) ..

Well, the GTS-T is on a similar price scale as the N/A Supra. The question is, can you live without a TURBO ?? I can, because I drive like Ms Daisy.

haha SimpleLogick your girlfriend sounds like she has the same taste in cars as me - my ex wanted "us" to buy a Supra - i told him it reminds me of a goldfish for some reason - and it does have a huge backside.

Supras are nice yes but for some reason i just couldnt give up my R33 GTST for one.

hippy = i think he is referring to triptronic yes.

what does ur average N/A v8 pull? with litle to no tuning as this car has had.

Jash- could u posibly approximate what a TT MkIV with an auto should run down the qtr. (stock) i just want to see if my dad is driving bad or the limits of the car are about 14.11

thanx - Psiker

Stock HSV pull 13sec 1/4mile and the new ls1 GTO and GTS Coupe r in the low 13

Soulja,

I don't want to dissapoint you but if you've ever been to the motorplex then you won't see any stock HSV's pull 13's, they need some work done to do that, and seeing as the GTO's haven't done much better then I doubt they would be in a low 13.

See'ya:burnout:

MMMMM Twin turboed NSX, only problem is there is nothing

better to hope for from there exept Maybe a CLK GTR Merc?

Steve : you can always get a Hyundai and stick on a Z badge :). Actually, I better NOT make fun of Hyundai because I think the Tuberon (sp?) is not a bad looking car at all :P ..

The NSX is a reality but the Merc CLK is a "wet dream" :P

Having said that this is my wet dream :D

In term of car bum :

NSX = Kyllie Minoque

Z32 = Anna Nicole Smith

Supra = Rosanne Arnolds

hippy : I think it's a typo, it's just a 6-sp manual. Not tiptronic.

Nizmo : My gf's idea of a nice car is a Honda Prelude, any thing sportier than that is a goon car :( ..

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      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)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      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.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
