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?

believe it or not, the rx7 won (despite having hte lowest power). then came the s15 or the gtt and last the supra - but power wise, supra was the best. All had basic mods - intercooler, pod and exhaust. I bought the mag 1 or 2 years ago, you might be able to find it at borders (sometimes they have special packages that come with older mags) or u can order it online via back issues i think

i got that mag (speed) sitting right in my car mag stack - its missing some pages but meh. yes, rx7 series 5 - s15 - gtt - supra (in that order). also has nice write up of 1jz/2jz mods as well as detailed coverage of gt autosound s15.

thing about supra's is that its more then likely you are going to need to purchase parts directly from the U.S or use workshops like boostworx/crd/tilbrooks if you intend to modify it. either way, it aint cheap but then again nor is modding to a gtr.

ok so the skyline GTT explain to me, these are jus rear wheel drives yer? wot year GTT was it?

Im so damn ummm confused i guess, dunno what to get. r GTTs any good? the only reason i didnt want one of them is cos every man and his dog has one! thats why i was looking at a GTR

i think you are either blind or naive if you think there isnt as many gtr's on the road as other imports, in this case gtt or any other skyline for that matter.

as for the gtt review, it states that its a 2000 spec. btw the supra and gtt were from motor city imports (long gone now) except for newsome's s15 - im sure everyone has seen this car either back then or now, and the series 5.

is you really want, i'll look for a scanner and scan the pages for you as i dont have one at home.

I've looked into it Adz, for a good 2JZ you would want around 17-20 thousand dollars. much less for automatic models.

S15 are a little more expensive, nice cars, some superior handling characteristics in my opinion,

RX7 much more expensive for that same year, but they are the ultra-weapon,

and Skyline GT-t comes in at a good price and good power, nothing to extravagant, but its definitely not too sensible either. nice balance, love em.

That would be excellent if you could do that. my email address is [email protected] if u would like to email.

To be totally honest what im looking for is a car that could blow away 90% of the other cars on the road. Im not going to be dragging it down at a strip just a quick burst from the lights. And i want something that will beat most other imports and KILL new falcon and commadore v8s

$20,000 is my limit for spending money.

Love the supras and skylines. and the others are out of price reach. the only other car i was looking at was a my99 WRX

*sigh*

if all you wanna do is drag commo's at the lights.

buy a commo.

oh hey thats not the only thing i wanna do, i wanna join a club, get into car runs wid young people, do what ever they organise etc.

Have you been in any of these cars before to comapre how they go, or do you like the look of any of these cars? You can get decent power out of any of these cars you talk about, but i think you really have to like the look of it too!

Have looked at 2 supras love the look, one GTR R32 love the look, and lots of jus R32s. Havent driven any of them yet. 4wd is only in the GTRs yer so the GTTs is jus two wheel drive? sorry bout sounding stupid been into V8s for so long!

ha, ok... if you got 20k to spend on one of these performance vehicles. id get a R32 or R33 series 2. and spend the rest minus ins and rego to mod it a bit. thats your best bet. either way dont expect for most these mods to stay on the car forevor if u run into 5-0.

You can view all the flavours of Supra (not to mention almost any other JDM vehicle) here:

http://english.auto.vl.ru/catalog/toyota/supra/

IMHO they're a great car in a straight line, not so great in the bends, and you can't fault the 2JZGTE, beauty of an engine.

Makes you wonder why the RB26DETT never got variable valve timing when you look at those torque figures.

450 Nm @ 3600 RPM vs. 390 Nm @ 4400 RPM

There's more than just 400cc extra displacement at play there.

$20,000 is jus the car price i can go up to, i have left alittle aside for mods after. What type of R32 or 33? u mean GTSTs? the 2wd yer?

Feel free guys to talk to me lik im an idiot cos when it comes to these kinda cars i am!

I have $20,000 to spend on the car, a couple thousand to throw at some mods.

What car would you buy and what mods would you do to it, to make it the quickest it possiably can be? all roughly in my budget

r33 gtst - 16k for stock (or there abouts)

depending on your age, insurance varies - for me 25 - $1000

rego around 600 or so

leaves u with 2400 for mods

r32 gts-t around 13k? insurance around 1000 for a 25 year old and rego - leaves u with 5400 for mods

EDIT: for the r33 with $2400 for mods -> around 1200 for turbo back exhaust, 100 for pod, leaves u with 900 for powerfc (i think) and $200 remaining- boost to around 10 or 11psi and thats your minor mods done (i think :) )

GTS, GTS-t, GT-t, GT-x, etc etc are all 2WD.

the GTR and GTS-4's are AWD.

and any GTR you pick up under 20k is bound to have some serious issues.

R32 GTS-t's, and the R33 equivalent will be your best bet.

unless you wanna look a bit more retro.

local R31's can be picked up for a few hundred dollars these days, can be easily turbocharged, and aren't bad looking either.

the Jap equivalents (available in coupe, sedan, pillarless sedan, wagon) can be had for a few thousand, spend the rest on updating the engine, suspension, brakes, etc. most of the later model gear can be fitted to the old 31's.

but to tell you this now, even you get yourself a mint R32 GTR, unless its been modified a bit, itll probably get its ass handed to it by a new SS in a straight line.

Edited by scandyflick

you have to factor in insurance, stamp duty etc etc and then it looks expensive rather quickly. although you stated that you have extra money on top of the 20K, its still going to leave you short for mods if you looking at supra/wrx or gtr.

    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
