[nikr33turb]

alright so the time has come to upgrade form my gtst and my options are rx7 s8, supra twin turb or r32 gtr...

anyone know which is faster..which has the most potential for big power and whcih one is generaly a better car?

[ferni]

all good cars.

What do you want to use it for?

Dyno Queen?

Drag?

Daily driver?

ShowCar?

Circuit?

[nikr33turb]

ummm good question i need it to be a daily driver but also want it to deliver at the drags..want to eventually have it in the low elevens sort of area if that helps : )

[phenline]

evo 7

[nikr33turb]

evo 7

hahahaha cant say im a fan lol cant even say why just dont look right in my eyes...

[Daniel R32]

Im gonna say a supra. Diff and gearbox can hold big power and alot of abuse. . . ive seen a few drag clips of supras running 9s and over 1000hp on standard box and diff no worries. Also cos im a supra fan lol

But i do have to say i love the other cars you mentioned too so whatever you pick will be good.

[eMsta]

supra twin turbo - try and get the later models - vvti - i seen more auto rz's in the 1999 - 2001 years.....if u can get a manual, that would be ideal

[Sklyn]

If they are my only options:,, I'd get the RX7....Sex on wheels!!

If your in that sort of range why not a 33 or 34 GTR? Go the 34!

[Stage2]

Yeah Rx7 are fast but i have also heard that mechanically they will need attention. I don't know a whole lot on rotary's so i wouldnt know but yeah if you go the Rx7, have extra cash on the side!!

My bro has a supra and yeah Daniel is right, the stock engine can handle a beating to around the 1000hp.

But if it was my choice R34 GTR all the way but is this even in your range or you talking about a 32gtr or 33gtr since the rx7 are around the 40k, supras between 25-30k!

Haha you probably thinking all of these choices it just getting to hard!!! Good Luck Mate

[inthisglass]

Supras look like girls cars.

Rotaries sound like they are farting

32gtr is the sex.

[Marco-R34GTT]

RX7 = HOT!

Awesome with the cosmo rotary engine (20B)..

[Kaido_RR]

lol!

rx7 fd s8, f**k off the twin turbo setup, big single t04z, ecu, injectors, v-mount cooler, clutch, plus lots of boost = easy 11's

rotary make power easy!! and if u get a s8 and look after it you shouldnt have any problems with the engine.

[thrtytwo]

of the three id love a GTR but realisticly i think the best car would be the Rx7, will be a lot newer (being S8) and if u get a spirit R its a serious beast soo light and nimble and god damn HOT

[Chi100188]

gotta agree Series 8 RX 7 spirit R is the bomb got the handing and the power and if u done what mike said up there damn you'd have a beast hahah

Cheers

Chi

[TrentGTR]

lol why are u asking this question on a skylines forum.

32 GTR.... win.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

I'd go 32 GTR > RX7 S8 > Supra.

[Daniel R32]

Get a gogomobile

[bubba]

I've driven my mate 12sec JZA80 supra (twinturbo 3L 6spd), didn't need much at all to do mid 12s and with the speed limiter removed it's good for 270km/h (and handles VERY well at that speed). They are physically a large car which I don't like and is why I opted for a 32

Another mate has a s8 RX7 and he loves it but he has deep pockets. It's also apparently REALLY light in the back end.. randomly swaps ends going round roundabouts in the wet.

How bout a teaspoon of concrete and just get a GTR or put a 30 in ya gtst

i sold my R33 GTS-t recently and was considering a R33 GTR or 2JZGTE Supra.

I went a 1999 VVTi Supra.

Very strong drivetrain, awesome interior, reliable, torquey, powerful, sleek design, excellent value for money.

The thing that won it over for me was definately the over engineered driveline and ecu.

exhaust, clutch and pod and you can run 12s. cooler, boost, injectors, ecu and turbo kit and your well into the 11s AND still reliable.

cant argue the 2JZ reliability against any engine, including the RB26. I have heard too many horror stories of R32 GTR RB26s failing with very mild set ups.

plus, the R32 GTR is an old car, and finding an EXCELLENT example wont come cheap. interior wear and tear, paint fade, cracks and creaks are sure to be hiding there on a near 20yr old car.

As said above though, being a Skyline forum, I doubt too many people are going to go against the Nissan.

as for the chook cooking rotor, i have no idea

I also thought about an Evo, but couldnt bring myself to buying a Lancer.
