the supras are an awesome car. plenty of grunt and huge potential. i was looking to buy one before the skyline. i only chose the 33 over the supra due to the supra being a bit too bulky for me. oh.. and i didnt like the interior. too spaceship like.

Tell your friend to get a targa top Supra, hes gonna have trouble fitting his head in it otherwise...

Supras aren't a bad thing IMO. NA ones are ghey, but TT manual ones = :)

I think they are too heavy, the styling looks good from some angles but completely obese from others and the interior is questionable - but at the end of the day, that engine...

2jz ftmfw

Yeah and he smashed it hahahaha

do turbo model supra's only come in TT?

im sure Nick(hulk's son) changed to a single turbo..confirmation....?

yeh i watch the show a fair bit.

Last night Hulk learned how to drift aswell to show Nick and Hulk ripped some nice circle work in a Practice 350z. not bad,not bad at all.. and yeh Nick was driving a Dodge Viper(drift car) i think,was all colourfull,

im only used to seeing Vipers in blue.

Nah its a HUGE trend with supras to flick the stock twin setup and put a T51R or T04Z on there

as much as it pains me to say this but a 2JZ (with turbo and plenum swapped positions) in a GTR would probaby the ultimate thing.

:) You're right, but something inside just tells me "but there's more to it than that..."

It's be unfair if the RB was stronger than 2JZ...the only fans Toyota would have would be mums dropping the kids off every morning ;)

Supra = cheap drag car

GTR = out-of-the-box circuit monster

was going to buy one till i sat in it... how small is the interior!! how crappy does it look... the back seat is pointless.. and most come in auto!!

exactly what I wanted to say...!!! I used to love supras until the day came when I actually sat in one.Me being 6ft tall i had the drivers seat pressed against the joke of a backseat.And even then I just couldnt believe how such a big car can be so small inside..Honda Integras have more interior room FFS.

Those who complain about the weight of the supra are totally misinformed, the supra weighs 1510kg go and check the weight of an r33 or 34 gtr and you will get a surprise.

The 2JZ shits all over the RB26 for strength, durability and potential. The six throttlebody manifold on the RB26 is a beautiful thing but is a negligable advantage in the overall scheme of things. Lets face it, that extra .4 of a litre more than makes up for those throttle bodies.

The 6 speed Getrag is near invinceable, there are supras popping the front wheels off the ground run after run will over 1000rwhp and still standing upto the power, torque and abuse on an unopened gearbox. It is possible to break one but very rare all the same unlike anything nissan.

Yes the stock turbos are a pain in the ass but there are many options if you are a switched on supra owner. There are many supras running high flowed steel wheeled twins making 320+rwkw. My cousins does 327rwkw on US spec factory turbos, there is now also a manufacturer who replaces the standard cartridge with a GT28R cartridge not to mention the number of single turbo kits available.

Traction issues, what traction issues??? You can fit 325's on the rear just by rolloing the lip and getting the right offset.

By the way, its just not a fair comparison. The supra so far above the gtst(which was the original caomparison remember?) its not fair to compare.

Supra Vs Gtr, well they are chalk and cheese and both have their strong and weak points.

I am not biased, i am experienced and have owned the cars in question plus many others and if i wanted many miles of trouble free enjoyable driving(sometimes a little spirited) then i would pick the supra. Skylines, including gtr's(the r34 less so) are just too expensive to make strong, reliable and powerful.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
