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 :(

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
