i think they said at the start the supra had real good tyres or something, it was in the comments on the youtube page, which would make sense, and seems quite fitting for the result.

i am a supra fan personally, but i still found it a bit of a shock for it to beat the GTR so easily

I am one too mate. :stupid: f**kin love them.

Can tyres really do that much of a difference? I've never driven by myself let alone drive on a track so I wouldn't have a clue. The Supra beats it stock for stock, but once the GTR gets some upgrades, I know who I'll be going for.

the other thing you have to take into account is that when you look at the specs on paper you see 1/4 mile and 0-100kmh specs. is this a true indication of which is quicker on a track? no. the gtr has 4wd so its 1/4 mile and 0-100 times are always going to be better. so a good set of tyres on the supra would just make it even. but it showed that in a straight line they are pretty much even, if not a little bit leaning towards the supra.

another good thing about the supra is that it has a square motor. 86mm x 86mm bore/stroke. the skyline motors are far from square. a square motor gives you a good combination of power and torque. and even the stroker kits for the rb26 don't make it square. they still have a shorter stroke than the 2jz, so they will rev higher, but not make as much torque.

Look another VS thread !

Well I don't know..... if you go on a skyline forum and ask if a skyline is better than a supra........oooh my brain hurts.. must drink more gatoraid.

I suggest that only a ninja can reveal the true answer and if you like this thread the odds are you may be ...... a ninja!

You must have real ultimate power !

I dont know where people get 50k price tags on for a supra. There a excellent examles of 97+ VVTI manual's for between 25-30k and anyone trying to get more is dreamng unless you go for an 01-02 model which can still be had for less than 35k.

There is less aftermarket support for the VVTI 2JZ but there are people who have experience with them and have achieved good results. In saying that, a low km 96- model will be a great base and the differences are only subtle unlike comparing r33-r34.

Why bother comparing built RB strokers with the the 2JZ, the kit itself would pay for a reasonable sized single conversion on a 2JZ with all supporting mods. By the way the stock valve train is good for 8000rpm reliably, any more and a valve spring upgrade will be necessary. Value for money the supra shits on the 34, the overall expense in getting the same performance and reliability totally outweighs any financial sense. Get the Nissan if you are a Nissan fan and cant stand the Toyota though if you are not brand biased then get the toyota as even at your goal of 300+rwkw it will be a much stronger and more reliable base overall, rb25's are on the edge at 300rwkw with stock internals and this is where the 2JZ is just coming to life.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
