what are the pros and cons of//////

NA supra and r34 gt/ gt4( rb25de)

i dont want any other posts about other types of cars.

i just want to hear your ideas as i have my own and heard my friends ideas about them.

just post pros/cons of the car you have driven and why you would prefer it.

thanks guys!! :rofl:

i was a supra fan along time ago. but since i got back from japan the skyline prices have dropped and im really indterested in them

also s15 type s non turbo.... are around the same price....

supra 3L 6c NA 220hp 164kw

r34 2.5L 6c NA 193hp 142kw

s15 2L 4c NA 165hp 125Kw

ive heard r34 chew more petrol than the supra... how can this be true? 3L vs 2.5L :rofl:

soz double post

It's almost impossible to get an NA S15 here in Australia. The only NA S15 you'll find in Australia are those which have been converted or someone has brought them in as a personal import.

I can't really say which one would be better because I've never actually driven any of them before.

theres a few s type s15's

probably personal imports.but there all imports anyway so whats the probelm?haha

i will brobably go for the r34. 2nd is the s15. but NA s15 will be slow so i wont waste my cash.

Its very easier to see how a 3L uses less fuel then a 2.5. Anyone here ever owned a L series powered nissan or datsun? You might as well own a V8 for the fuel they used. Its to do with the way they deliver their power, how they are cam'd etc. Lots of factors but yes.

As for peak power its a bad guide in my book. A good area under the graph (so to speak) in the HP curve could make a car with alot less HP be a faster car as it has more grunt available initially and over the entire rev range rather then peaking. Knew a Mx5. Had the flatest power graph I've ever seen. Great track car. Horrible drag car. Pends on the style your after.

Supras have no boot as opposed to the R34. I know it sounds stupid now but you want to take a special someone away a boot is something you need. Actually like the look of the supra over the R34. Thats about where my knowledge ends.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
