Help Me Defend The Skyline Pride

Na supras still haul ass. But yes, you would (SHOULD) be quicker then a NA

it's not about the car, it's what the driver can do

dude thats total bullshit, its not how you stand by your car, its how you race your car, you better learn that!

[R33GOD]

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.

The Hulk's son drive a Supra.

Yeah and he smashed it hahahaha

[DRD-00F]

Didn't he get arrested for it too?

That thing was niiiiice

[swanny180]

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...

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

[N1GTR]

What i find the most annoying about this thread?

Supra TT and GTR are only 20kg's difference

[lingeringsoul]

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

[GTR-32U]

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.

what r u on about? that's what I meant

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.
