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

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday.
