There's nothing to defend mate... it's a bit like saying; a Toyota Corolla rocks up next to you at the lights and starts mouthing off at how shit he thinks your Skyline is - who gives a rat's arse... we all know which is better... that's the main thing...

To truth is, the Supra engine is amongst one of the toughest to come out of Japan - however, said that, the RB engine is much more durable, sounds tougher, has much much more modifying potential and, if modified right, has the potential to produce much more power... and don't forget, the Supra is much heavier than the Skyline... and hey, what you think, a Supra or a Skyline looks better - I think Supras look hideaous!

At the end of the day, who gives a fark what he thinks... am I right?

end of the day...its your damn car, you bought it, if you didnt like it you wouldnt have bought it and if you wanted a supra you probably would have bought one.

i get the usual crap all the time but hey, its my damn car, i love it, i bought it and no i dont want an awesome TT supra, im happy with my R33 GTST!!!!!

+1 nicely put... be proud of what you got buddy!!

I wouldn't have it any other way - I love my R33 Skyline!!

the idea to begin with was to compare the 33 gtst vs. N/A supra

unfortunately i wasnt clear enough about what i was referring to and a lot of people thought i was talking about a GTST vs. TT supra

Oh, if its an N/A its no competition. GTST will win a straight line race. Hardly fair to race an N/a vs a turbo car when they both weigh roughly the same amount

Sorry, but thats wrong.

The amount of RB26's failing shows the 2J to be more "durable"

Want potential? Start with a 2J. Better oil control for a start, can run up to 450kw with stock internals etc

Power? There's way more 2j's pulling ridiculous power levels on dyno's than RB26's

I agree the RB26 sounds better but the 2J has a very nice tone to it aswel.

To stay on topis: GTST wins against an N/A supra in a straight line.

the RB engine is much more durable, sounds tougher, has much much more modifying potential and, if modified right, has the potential to produce much more power...

i would't go THAT far...

My girl is stuck with the stupid p plate laws and she wants a non turbo supra till she can get an R34 turbo. I think she should just put a twin turbo engine in the supra after shes off p plates. That way I can drive my GT-R AND a TT supra :D

I guess most guys are saying 'the skyline's my wife, the supra's that chick I meet at the bar'

sure... if you like picking up fat chicks at the bar.

I guess most guys are saying 'the skyline's my wife, the supra's that chick I meet at the bar'

Mate that is so going in my sig, that's brilliant. Skyline for life and just bang a supra around for a bit :D

When I bought my R33, I looked at a mazda rx7 and a turbo supra first. My personal preference is that I just love the leg room and non cramped cockpit of the skyline :D I couldn't imagine going on long cruises in a supra but then again I'm quite tall. If I were shorter I may well have gone with the supra instead. I would never have bought an N/A supra tho, just not my style :D

no.. you said

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.

so we asumed he was getting a TT supra and he keeps shitting on about how much better they are then skylines

and so yes.

it is better than a skyline gtst

and...

Bold sections are true... the rest of that quote is so so wrong that it makes me laugh..

Noob skyline drivers will argue that skyline has better engine

Ignorant skyline will argue skyline has better engine

Skyline owners who've been around the block a few times , read a few hundred gigs of info will know 2JZ shits on RB all day everyday, everywhere.

Handling wise, depends on the model.

This is a simple fact of life. Remaining options

1. Have a cry, bitch moan and continue the argument

2. Build a bridge, get over it and don't look back. These comparison's never get anywhere except somehwere down the line, some stupid teenager will get worked up and throw personal insults because he can't face the facts.

blah blah blah blah. all i know is i dont like the supra headlights. they look down-syndromed. why the hell did they do that? besides that, the supra is a nice car. with the exception of the ones that are tarted up to look like cheap whores by their bling/rice loving owners.

GTST i was correcting myself. I know what i said thats why i reposted, so that i could clear up what i meant.

Kudos to you buddy :D

what planet are you from again? :D

His actually from a moon of a planet.

the Planet Uranus has a small moon called hisanus..

he is from the backside of hisanus

LOL!! :laughing-smiley-014:

Edit: I forgot to say something, turbo'd supra's are better than gtst's, I don't see anything wrong with the supra's styling. That's my opinion. I'm now building a bridge and walking the f**k out of here.

    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.
