yeah, itd be a JZA80.

first things first, theyre pretty heavy mofo's, so they can be a bit boaty (2 of 3 that ive driven have had stock suspension, shocking stuff, the other had tein coilovers, massive improvement...)

they dont like to rev like the GTR's, but its much easier to make huge amounts of power from them.

theyre very comfortable on longer trips, takes a bit of effort to get in and out of, you sit in them rather then on them, if you get my meaning.

theyre thirsty, and theyre not the easiest things to drive in the wet, but all round, theyre great cars, and i doubt youll regret buying one.

The 2JZ engine was in the 1993 - onwards (the 96/97 + models came with VVTI i believe). It can be either NA or twin turbo. The main difference is the power and the weight (if you are comparing to the R32). r32 gtst has 160 kws and 290nm torque? , where as the JZA80 twin turbo has 206 and 430nm torque. But the supra weighs a lot more than the gtst. 0-100 in the supra is said to be about 5.6, where as the gtst is in the low to mid 6's.

Both engines are durable - strong internals, revvy. Supra twin turbo in manual comes with an extra gear. But down sides, supra has no space at hte back. The r32 i think has more space in the back.

EXCELLENT GUYS. Does anyone kno wot the model letters mean lik supra SZ or RZ?

if the car youre getting is an RZ or an SZ its a'93-'02 (JZA80). anything before that (to '86) is the JZA70.

afaik, RZ denotes the turbo/twin turbo models, and SZ is the non turbo.

So i should be looking for a RZ 2JZ engined Supra??

I have had a look at 3 cars so far, would these figures i have be about right for each car?

1993 Supra 13.1 1/4mile 320hp standered

1989 GTR 13.0 1/4mile 280hp standered

2000 WRX 14.4 1/4mile 227hp standered

*Standard...

forget the rex. glass gearboxes arent cool.

the supra has the advantage of being newer, and being able to make power easier than the GTR.

the GTR afaik is lighter, has the advantage of AWD, and is just plain cool. :)

Yup, look for a JZA80 RZ with the 6 speed manny.

jap spec RZ is only 280hp - but this is disputed (similar to the gtr). US and british spec RZ is at 320hp

Better to go with the RZ - should you wish to do mods to it. SZ is ok - but when it comes to mods, you are restricted imo - and installing a turbo is not as easy as it sounds (or so i hear)

not to mention they got steel wheels on the turbos... *sigh*

Also to mention that PARTS as in modifying parts are alot more expensive, as there isn't as big of a damand for them as there is Nissan parts!

I thought of getting a Supra before i bought my 33! I am thankful for getting the 33!

but the flip side to that is that you dont need to open up the engine when you start chasing big horsepower like youd have to with a nissan engine.

But i hear nissan GTRs r hell exspensive to fix! Supras r much cheaper for every day parts? this true

try to get your hands on the special issue (i forget what number it was, but it had a pic of a blue s15 in the front) of speed magazine that gave mods for supras - that will show you roughly howmuch u can spend on mods depending on the different stages.... plus it had comparisions of the rz, gtt, s15 and rx7 as well....

just saw this while searchign for the issue of speed that had supras in it:

any car is expensive to fix where parts are concerned - best to get one where parts are plentiful

In the comparisions of the rz, gtt, s15 and rx7 which did they believe to come out on top?

Is it a new mag will it still be instores?

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
