they both are gonna have there advantages and dissadvantages. I mean the supra is gonna be better for extracting hp. The internals on the 2jz are quite good, r34 internals i would imagin should be good too but having spoken to some performance shops on whether they would prefer a supra or a gtr and the sup[ra came out on top.

In Simple English YES!!!!!

Ive driven heaps of supras at work, there big, by no means slow but very old school in side dont really handle tight stuff as well as skylines, there more for straight line speed and highway drag racing nowhere near as fun as a skyline for scooting round town or a mountain run.

Knore: The 350Z is still the light at the end of the tunnel :D I just get impulsive sometimes...so was looking at a Supra for something different.

The Z will probably be the next turbo challenge though.....even though you can't turbo a car that's N/A :D So I've been told

Dan

350Z has some ripped aftermarket kits out from HKS, Trust, etc .. bolt on and sideways away. Apparently the VQ35DE in them is one of Nissans strongest engines and responds very nicely to turbo'ing. For my "dream" car its either a R34 GTR or the 350z i think actually (with turbo kit of course)

If you want quick, the TT Supra is basically the quickest RWD japanese car stock out there.. interior is not pretty.. seats are nice, but otherwise blurk.. looks 80's.

Supras are quick, appently, after taking off the speed limiter they will get up to 290kmh stock... That is bloody fast. But how about a chaser? Like 96 model or something, they are different, and they arent short of a bit 13.7 or something stock. But yeah, skyline forum hey, prob better shoot me now for talking up the toyotas :D

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
