hi

my mate is getting a TT supra and he keeps shitting on about how much better they are then skylines. Unfortunately all i know about supras is that they are normally driven by faggots (like this guy).

can you guys tell me all the bad points about supras you can think of.

cheers

p.s. he is driving an N/A supra at the moment so if there are any bad points specifically related to them please post them.

The factory twin turbo system is crap to modify, starting to look dated, and imo most of the people who make aesthetic mods make them look shite!!

Apart from that they are really good cars, mega tough engine/gearbox/brakes. 400kw on a stock motor and gearbox, you cant argue with that.

Yeah one thing I have learnt about most skyline drivers is they don't drag other peoples cars into the dirt...

I actually have a mate, who happens to drive an NA supra, and gives me shit about my car every chance he gets, always calling me out on this or that... I can understand why he feels he has something to prove, but I really don't, my car is just plain better then his in more ways then his is better then mine...

Supras are great cars, the block is fantastic and just never breaks...

mate I dunno where you got that 400kw from, but from what I know most stock TT supra would be lucky to make 250kw

yeah Supras are good cars to ride but an eyesore to look at

Some are driven by ppl with fake veilside bodykits, shitty mesh grills and gigantic ass spoilers and are N/A. The cars as wide as a whale LOL

But I like their engine tho. Can be a pretty tuff one.

Supras pretty much shits on skylines in terms of just about everything. Having said that, I still don't have the urge to buy one. Maybe thrash one for a few hours to get it out of my system.

U G L Y, You ain't got no alibi

You UGLY!

*clap clap*

You UGLY!

NOHT!

thats hot as!!! Love the look of supras...

But im not into show cars that much... i prefer fast cars... that HANDLE... hence why i have a GTR 33 over a TT supra...

id take a TT supra over my 33 anyday lol, why do people feel like they have to defend there car.

you can say sometihng like " i was going to buy a supra until my mechanic told me some nasty stories about them " and see the look on his face

i agree with that.... why do people have the need to defend there cars.... and its because people see the need to SLAG other peoples cars.... I have a next door neighbor who loves Valients, has around 5 of them… and every time he comes over he slags my Jap Shit…. Then moves onto my Corvette plastic Shit…. Then to my Torana Shit V8… and all I do is look at him and go well its just sad you will never reali know what your missing out on :worship:

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
