how can the supra be in the gtrs shadow???

it was made to destroy the american muscle cars and it does that very veyr well.. in most cases, its faster, brakes better and handles better. doesnt always look better but its still an eye catcher

everyone knows the supra for its out right speed potential..

gtr is known for its out right track dominance. they are both brutal machines, but in theyre respective fields.

u dont see any 6sec gtrs.. but then u dont see any track ownin supras.. each are different. no1s in anyones shadow

i hope the lf-a owns all those mercs and bmw's and astons and what not.. i hope they own the luxo barge league

Didn't the LFA cut a 7min24sec lap round the Ring? Last time I checked it was quicker than the new GTR...and even if it isn't...thats still a VERY impressive time for a rwd NA...

And that howl from the V10 as heard on those youtube videos is enough to send a chill down my spine!!!

Someone correct me here, but i was under the impression that the supra 2jz, had a faster 1/4 time than an r33 gtr, and was renowned for its excellent neutral handling despite its curb weight(hmmm do i see a similarity to the r35)

that is 100% correct, hence me sayin, u DONT see 6sec gtrs (meaning u see 6 sec supras) BUT u dont see any supras owning the track because they dont.. they gtr owns the track

as for nuetral handling.. i dont think so. maybe when theyre prepped, but in stock form, theyre not very nuetral

they understeer easily and they oversteer even easier

the 7:24 isnt confirmed or official, but i doubt it will be far off that given the predicted numbers the V10 will produce and knowing Toyotas build quality. The Lexus is a hot looking car and sounds tough as nails, unlike the vaccuum cleaner GTR :laugh:

I believe only on full drag tires. But on street legal tires such as Nittos? - not a chance.

In Japan, they are more into the the Nitto's for their drag cars - makes it more challenging. You don't see many or any Supra's in the RH9 club.

u see 6 sec supras

They're not Supras, it's a bespoke drag chassis with some plastic over it that looks sorta like a Supra, if it's dark and you squint a bit. You could easily change it from Supra looking plastic to Camaro looking plastic in less than an hour.

RH9 is a club for GTRs running under 9sec on street tyres. thats why you dont see any supras in there. cos its a GTR club

You are correct...its far better than what people make it out to be...i've read that it actually holds more Gs under constant cornering compared to a 33gtr...not sure about the standard 1/4 times though...

And just just for good measure...watch this!!!

Watch the supra take on the other cars of its time...then call it a boat...in the vid...SUPRA > GTR RX7 NSX....

I didn't mean comparing one extreme to the other (fastest track GTR vs the fastest drag Supra)

I'm well aware of what each car is capable tuned to the extreme.

I meant, the appeal of the car to your average performance vehicle enthusiast.

i.e Real life application. That means GROUNDING the power. :P

Mod for Mod a street GTR will always be quicker than a street Supra, at the track OR the drags. AWD ftw!

My point is that there aint any Supras with street tires running under 10 sec quarter mile times. RWD and just too heavy - no matter how good the engine is.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
