I would also take a TT Supra over any Skyline GTST/GTT.

Gear-box and motor are heaps stronger than any RB20/RB25 and they make good power with minimal mods.

A friend has one with a FMIC, turbo back exahust, fuel pump and pods, running 14.5psi boost on stock turbo and it makes 248rwkw. Can't complain about that?

But if its an NA Supra its fairly useless.. there fair flow but suprisingly not tooo slow and NA sounds gay, unless its 5.0L +

I would probably take any decent turbo skyline over a TT supra... I've sat in a couple and driven a couple supras, and I just don't really like the feel of them... can't explain why...

Appreciate all cars for what they are worth. If your mate likes Supras more than Skylines good on him. I know guys who like Lambos better than Ferraris and vice versa... do I see them posting shitty threads like this over on ferrari chat? I dont think so!

Yeah I sat in it and felt like I was in a race car...

And I don't mean I could feel the power and it handled like a racing machine... I mean there was no room to move and I had to climb in and out...

I nearly did buy a race car til I figured I wouldn't be able to have enough subs for my liking...

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.

:D

Another pathetic thread...

:worship:

Who gives a Fcuk....

Tell him that his car is better than any skyline GTST ever made, in every way possible.

and that his engine shits on RB25s from so high that it is frozen by the time it hits your cars engine.

that should put him in his place in the car food chain.

way above you!

lol gold!!!!

tell him that until he actually gets the TT your higher in the food chain..

plus we all know the gtr is faster. Paul Walker pwned that homie in FNF2

The problems we found with Supras when we raced them;

1. the standard sequential turbos are a pain in the arse

2. the siemesed dump pipes costs a bomb to replace, you have to make them, nothing off the shelf is any good.

3. the turbo location (being designed for the left hand drive US market) means the brake and clutch master cylinders overheat all the time

4. the exhaust system (being designed for the left hand drive US market) cooks the drivers feet and lower legs

5. being only 2wd they are rediculously heavy, more than a 4wd GTR

6. the single throttle body makes the response very poor in comparison to a GTR with its 6 throttle bodies

7. their rear centre of roll (CoR) is too low in comparsion to their centre of gravity CoG) so their roll couple (RC) is too big

8. their front centre of roll (CoR) is too high in comparsion to their centre of gravity CoG) so their roll couple (RC) is too small

9. they don't have enough rear squat geometry for good traction

10 they have too much front dive under brakes, not enough anti dive geometry

11 when you lower them (not rediculously) they bump steer something chronic at the rear and their front camber curves turn to shit

12. the Getrag is an OK box, but they cost a bomb to replace

13. until the later models, the brakes were simply abismal

14. the off shelf availability for adjustable suspension bushes is very limited

Enough? I can go back to my set up book and find some more if you want.

Who cares if some wanker thinks his TT will be better than your line?

I have a mate and he always bragged his Pintara TRX was faster than my stock celica.

Until one day I gave up and raced him, I had 4 ppl in he was by himself and I still spanked him.

In three years hes had to replace 3 engines and All Ive done is a radiator top tank leaking.

He still thinks his TRX is better. You will never win the argument. Just smile at him and say "yeah ok sure mate", then walk away and have a giggle at his pig headed attitude.

Ok interesting topic.

When looking for a daily driver i tried a LOT of imports, and after the supra nothing felt as fun.

Yes the cabin isnt large and roomy like a commodore

Yes the standard brakes on the early models suck

Yes a LOT of them look shit with aftermarket bodykits and wings

etc

.....but at the end of the day, for a daily driver (as long as you can look past fuel consumption) they are a great car. Mines never broken down, its on its 2nd diff but thats my fault, its comfortable and quick. Small turbos on a 3L is awesome around town in traffic

And yes the stock 2j can do some crazy power with the right bolt ons (inj, fuel pump, ecu etc)

If you're trying to compare a gtst to a TT supra, dont bother, your wasting your time. You will lose. Supra will win. Deal with it.

The NA supra though gets beaten by almost everything (ive seen a stock mx5 beat one)

Dont get me wrong i love my skyline, but it breaks, and things need replacing whereas the supra just keeps on taking what i give it.

Another point worth mentioning, every single gtst driver (and 4 gtr drivers) that have driven mine have all been suprised at its speed and how smooth it feels

On the point of most supra drivers being fags, well, thats a great generalization you've made! How many supra drivers do you know? I organised a joint supra and skyline cruise ages back and there was no bitching or whinging, everyone from both sides was talking to each other and having a good time, none of them acted like "fags"

Supra > GTST. Simple.

well this topic proves a lot of r33 owners hate their cars. you should swap them for a r32 gtr?

nah , i love my car dude. The way i see it is a 33 was the best car for me to buy at the time (I was making good money and wanted to have some cheep fun)... a full time uni student can say that his old little 1.5 L corrola is the best car (he's making very limited money , the car is cheap to run and drinks petrol slooowlllyyyy) its all about everyones situation and what they want a car for.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
