There was a ton of research involved in this car. The reason it went to the US is shops in the US are light years ahead of Australia. It was sent to someone that could be trusted to complete work above anyones expectations.

Im not sure why people are saying that anyone can hand over money and have a great car. I would say more than most modified cars here are completed by workshops. some people do work on their own and complete some great work but this is few and far between.

The Australian industy is full of shonks so why not utilise the high skills of overseas companies. I know if i was to do my project over i would have no hesitation sending it to the US. Obviously we do have some great workshops here that will help and i have been fortunate to find a couple of those but the bads ones out weigh the good ones!

For those who havent even looked through the threads corretly before having a jealous sook, look again. This car is finished. it was built over 2 full years in the US. The car is back in Australia and has been driven on the road a lot. Obviously this is not something to go grocery shopping in but lets face it most projects never are.

Guys if you have nothing nice to say please leave it for yourself. Some of the jealous comments are a bit childish.

Boz read the damn thread lol.

You can quite clearly see the guy now knows a hell of a lot about cars and did all the descisions himself and researched a hell of a lot.

OP, there are LOTS of amazing build threads out there. you just have to search for them.

Oh no doubt. But for an import build nothing comes close to this that I have ever come across. I have read most of the build threads on SAU and while a lot of them are very amazing with my favourite being Tangomatts, the thing is that Supra build thread is just in a whole different ballpark.

For the people that are enjoying the thread, it has been updated on page 39 :D

I think every one just ment it has been completely built as new with all new parts (hell it probably smells like a new car) So "technically" it's a 2010 model Supra.

Not really sure I understand what you are trying to say there dude, pretty sure I understood your post perfectly and I simply said for you to read the damn thread since you said you hadn't read it.

oh you f**king illiterate douchebags. READ MY POST AGAIN. I did state that I had never read the original thread, I was explaining why people were commenting as they were to the noob.

Doesn't sound that way to me:

it's hella lame to give your car to a shop and just say something like that rather than to at least research what you want out of it, parts to use etc.

btw cbf reading original thread on this car

Which is a stupid thing to say when you have not read the thread, hence why I said:

"Clearly you have not read the thread, otherwise you would see that he DID research everything he wanted and all of the parts to use."

So he did research what he wanted "out of it", "parts to use etc."

i was talking about imports, since im really only interested in jap cars.

http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=374790 - this was an epic build, however it seems most pics are now gone :)

last but not least, this build. nothing i have found comes close to the amount of effort in the write up. not even a fan of the old skylines but still spent hours reading it all.

amazing build. yes money has been thrown at it but i get the feeling that some of the people in here wouldnt be happy unless he had fabricated every single washer and nut by hand.

im wondering about that exhaust manifold, it comes out at 90deg to the block. whats with that?

You would think he would just buy a brand name exhaust manifold, with all the money spent on the car.

You wouldn't be able to for the given setup.

As to the 90 degree manifold question, I had a long look at that manifold, and I'm no manifold builder but I think it was built that way as it was the only way possible to get enough clearance. It would have been a bitch of a manifold to design and build and I'd hate to think what it alone would be worth with the sequential/quick spool setup.

The exhaust is part of the sp racing big twin sequential turbo system which can make the car see 6-700nm @ as low as 3000rpm.

It's basically a mental redesigned version of the standard supra set-up! Only downside is that each car is fabricated from scratch so no kits available and that there is a significant amount of pipe work involved.

This car tested it's potential to be installed on a rhd vehicle.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
