the car may in fact be real, but in those pics it's a photoshop. this discussion has been had before. close inspection of the picture shows lots of signs it's a photoshop. there is the massive patch of different colour that ten four pointed out, as well as the dodgy blur work along the front of the bonnet (it should be a clean line it a relatively even gap the whole way across, but it isn't). as well as the fact that that appears to be the only picture of it.

I'm sure I actually seeing it for sale on the King Buyer site at some point...I was having a discussion about it with one of my agents over there who had also heard about it...then again, maybe I'm old and senile...

Never said Supra's look ugly, I ment stock. I have seen some modified Supras that are to die for. It's a tuners car so no surprise there. Just put on a widebody kit and it will look like a supercar. See

now i'm not denying that it's a chop as i CBF looking into it that hard, BUT you do realise that most things that cost a lot of money are photoshopped before sale... things like houses in particular are shopped to death before the add goes up.

all that bonnet shows is bad photoshopping skills (it could even be ms paint ffs) but the car could still be real from that evidence alone.

what if there was something on the bonnet, like a huge scratch or sticker that they wanted to cover up?

hehe you seem to be stuck on the fence there! im not sure what your budget is, but surely the THOUSANDS of dollars you could save on doing an rb26/30, would overcome the mindf*ck that is doing a 2jz conversion?

what would spock say?

LMAO I'm over the 2JZ thing, the decision is almost unanimous and it seems to be way more trouble than it's worth. Getting an RB30 or tuning the 26 would be heaps cheaper and yield same or better results. The V8 conversion sounds nice though you would do it to a GT not a GT-R cos it'll be rear drive anyway. Would sound so weird a V8 roar out of a Skyline. You would pass by and people would still be looking for the culprit not knowing it's you hehe.

    • That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.
    • So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
    • So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them
    • I also had 2 bulbs blow at once, years ago in the stagea. made for a fun drive home. The issue was the voltage regulator had failed in the alternator and it was giving 15+ volts. Really, I was lucky all that was fried were the headlight bulbs. So, I'd suggest you check the voltage across your battery terminals with the car running and warmed up. Yes, you will need a multimeter to do so, sorry.
    • Good work to think to check that, and thanks for coming back to post up the outcome.
