Yeah, when I've got my targa shades in it's too dark. If they're off then I get heaps of light from above. Girlfriend still reaches over and flicks the switch on anyway :P

probably the same kind of person that'd buy an N/A Supra...

A P plater who wants something faster than an N/A Skyline? :P

R33 GTS25 = 140kW / 1390kg

Supra SZ = 164kW / 1460kg

R33 = 101kw per tonne

Supra = 112kw per tonne

Edited by jezza boii

fact sheets dont do shit.... actually drive the cars to see

every engine will produce different power from factory, every driver is different

either way r32 > supra anyday... even if the supra faster

cause they :P

Well of course people on SAU will say Skylines are better :P I'm indifferent because I'd prefer an MR2.

At the end of the day, the point I was trying to make is that a Supra makes a great P plate car. Reliable and still quick enough to have fun in.

Just look at Kez - at SAU events he's down there ripping around the track in his Supra, giving everyone a run for their money.

Whether you like the looks of them comes down to personal taste.

I prefer the look of R32s over Supras too. I almost bought an R34 instead, but it was too sluggish.

So, you finally sold all your cars... Almost (Supra still needs to go).

Finally put it into the MR2 Turbo and actually come out on a cruise.

I haven't had the other 2 for agessss man :P

But yeah, Supra was meant to be gone today but the dead battery screwed me around.

MR2 should be 100% functional pretty soon :D Then I'll come on a cruise or even organise something myself.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
