FWIW, I had a supra with hks coilies and it handles so damn well.. Far better than my stupid S2K currently*.

*May be unfair cause S2k has stock suspension.. I hate it most cause of electric PS.

I find my S2000 handles very well for a stock car.

I've been in ones with modified suspension too and they handle excellently.

.

its all personal taste as far as looks go, but if you drive a supra, you'll be like mmmm, this is good shit :)

in my opinion. they look awesome when not covered in veilside gayness, and bling chromies, which unfortunately is far too common with supra owners.

all of these cars, or the r34 n supra specifically, are horses for courses across anybody's view of looks, power, handling, and practicality.

I love the look of the supra (albeit with a bit of bodykit or rims) and would certainly be my pick in the R34 v Supra equation. But I also love the R33 the most, again with a bodykit or in GTR version though. N this if often considered the ugliest of the skylines...

As far as motor goes, it depends if it is going to be stock or modded. You want epic power or drivability. Some people don't mind lag, I hate it...

Decide what YOU like overall, do your research and check $ (cos any of these cars will eat it at their age) and then go buy it, drive it, love it.

Loving those black Supras. If I had my way you would win the most awesome post of thread award, may not be the most coveted award given the competition though :P

put it this way,

the supra comes with a factory RB26/30DETT, rated to 600-700rwhp safely

6 speed gearbox ready to run 7's on the 1/4 mile, or handle around 1000rwhp

but its a bit of a boat and not so practical for a daily

shit. now i want that black supra, does it include the girl?

THIS.

no need to spend 20grand on a built rb30 when the 2jz motor will take up to 700whp on stock internals, absolute torque monsters

spec wise - the only supra i would be making a move on while on my P's is the RZ, with the vvti motor, 6sp, 4pots/2pots - they will stand the test of time

alternatively (and much rarer) i would opt for the R34 GTV which shares the suspsnesion, LSD and 4pot/2pots

both have a classic straight 6, but i would have to say the non-turbo Supra is better interpretation of the full blown 2JZ Supra, where as the GTV/GTT seems like a watered down version of the GTR - although the best Supra will always be in the shadow of a GTR - which will always be in the shadow of the NSX (only my opinion)

clean supras are harder and harder to find nowadays and they really have a presence on the road - i went with a R34 because i thought no-matter what car rolled up next to mine at the light - i felt i was in the right car - not the better, faster, better handling or anything tangible like that - i felt it suited me better than any other car out there

you really need to find one that stands out / inspires you and then will know because it will have your name on it

these 2 threads should help you out to find your preference

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
