Supra TT's are pretty nice if they are nice and clean... but most of them have horrible kits, yellow headlights, really bad rims.... I looked on carsales the other day just out of interest and they only ones i likes were VERY expensive... but they were very late model and low k's so I guess thats fair enough. But one of them left stock will be very reliable, the 2JZ is one of the most over engineered engines ever built.

However, if you are leaving stock the GTR would be very good also and stock for stock would be more fun to drive i think you will find. I would just keep your options open. Just focus on a clean example weather it be GTR or Supra...

Having just picked up a 33 gtr myself, i would definately say go for it, awesome cars to drive especially in near standard form. If its daily driving your after i wouldn't change the stock suspension as its pretty firm but not rediculous

mxfly makes sense...

You might consider the 2JZ for its great shape, driver ergonomics, bullet-proof pistons/conrods

The R33 GT-R still has a proper RB26DETT racing engine, AWD, 4WS, equally great shape, reasonably good brembos, very good desirability and presence. And it's better bang for your bucks now and 3 years' time.

Really comes down to AWD to RWD....

Test drive both, which one you prefer, go with that. I wouldnt bother with a R32 GTR, from what i have heard, will be hard to find one that isnt going to cause you any problems.

Supra's are sexy though, got to give them that.

Most supra's are modified in bad taste which is very unfortunate i must say. but from going from an r33 gtst to a 33 gtr, with the right wheels they are pure porn as far as looks go, i am not a huge fan of the driver focused dash (wrap around dash) just something about it makes me dry reach :(

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
