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.

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

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

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 :yes: 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 :P

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

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
