Hopefully this isn't a repost, I had a quick search and couldn't find it. My mate showed me this yesterday on his Supraforums and I spent a couple of hours reading through the entire thread. I am absolutely blown away! This has to be one of the best import builds I have ever seen. Definetely recommend every one have a read/flick through this. Whether you like Supra's is irrelevent, I'm sure you can still appreciate the amount of work that has gone into this. I keep checking the thread hoping it has been updated because I need to see more of this amazing build!

http://www.supraforums.com.au/forum/showth...m-the-Ground-Up.

To quickly sum it up:

A bloke in Aus gets Sound Performance in the US to build a brand new Supra with the best of everthing on it.

- All brand new parts. And I mean every single OEM part brand new to build a 2010 Mk IV Supra

- Built HKS 3.4L 2J with a custom sequential twin GT3071 setup

- Metal wide body Top Secret kit

- Detailed undercarriage

- Every aftermarket part you can think of

- No expense spared!

Seriously worth a look into this, the amount of detail is absolutely amazing and is no doubt the best Supra in Australia. I can't even imagine the amount this car has cost ($150,000, $200,000, $250,000? I just don't know).

I suggest watching the video after reading through the thread as not to ruin anything :action-smiley-069:

He is supposibly a personel trainer. Go figure.

It is a long read but well worth it, every page gets better and better. There is a few little twists along the way that make you go "No f**king way!" It's like reading a good novel. I so can't wait for the next thread update!

It really is insane. I can't imagine the cost of all the OEM parts, let alone all the work done in the US. Can you imagine walking into Nissan and ordering in every single OEM part for a Skyline, it would probably be $50,000+ just in little bits and pieces, considering i've priced up some small parts and they want $100's for the tiniest things.

I just hope he drives it.Wouldn't be suprised if it sits and gets taken out once a month.

meh, i thought toyota was gonna bring out a new supra to the masses, not that stupid lf-a which most of us cant afford.

I think even if theres a 2010 Supra, it wouldnt be cheap either. Like the R35 GTR, pretty out of reach for majority of the people. How much were the Supras when they first release? I wouldnt imagine them to be very much cheaper than the same generation GTRs.

I love the fact that the original car wasnt exactly straight so he went and bought another one!!! How the hell is this car going to be able to come back to the country coz it will now have different vin numbers?

I think every on here can agree that this is the most amazing build ever. Makes me want to go out and be a personal trainer!!!

I cant wait till the end.

wow very impressive... best restoration of an import I've ever seen... he takes 'anal' to new heights! looks like its going to be mainly a show car tho, how nervous would you be driving it, hell you might end up driving through a puddle! oooh the humanity...

interesting choice on the auto too... me thinks someone doesn't know how to drive stick

imagine trying to insure it... 'yeah I want to insure my Supra'... 'market or agreed value?'... 'agreed please... for 150k'... 'uuum no, good bye thanks for calling'

yea i've heard the supras were over 100k new, similar market as the 300zx etc were bloody expensive in their day. i was under the impression the FT-86 concept is toyota's next sportscar "for the people". the LF-A is for the elite that can afford ultra insane performance, and the ft-86 is the "affordable" sports car.

after all of that its going to be an auto.... why...??

Imagine just asking Mr Nissan for a quote for all the interior pieces for your skyline.

I dare someone to get a quote... I dont have the time... but it would be a funny out-of-this-world quote....

its page after page of parts in plastic bags with toyota parts stickers... omg...

I know a few personal trainers and they aint that well off, like thats scary carefree spending...

I knew a guy with an automatic NSX one time, and I asked him why, he said he had a knee replacement surgery and couldn't shift comfortably anymore. Maybe this guy has a similar situation, or maybe he just wants to embarrass people even further after beating them down the drag strip.

I was thinking he was american, that would explain the high horsepower RWD with an auto and also why the build is in USA...

Surely an Aussie would get the build done here...

although a supra with 1500hp, on the drag strip with full interior and a stereo blasting and ripping 10s would be killa, but who reckons this car will never see the road... the guy is so anal I think he would be devastated if it got some dust on it let alone dirty from driving it, hell the inside of the bellhousing on the trans looked polished...

An amazing build though, castle hill toyota must be very surprised, they supplied most of the OEM parts....

That is just absolutely insane. Went through the whole thing and it was definitely worth it.

I have to say, when I started reading his intentions of the build I just KNEW he would send it to the US.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      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...
