I've got big respect for toyota engines but I would have to agree that supras are for posers. In the 'laide there is too many piece of s#it non turbo automatic, crap chrome rimmed, bodykitted supras going around. You wouldnt call a tt supra ricey but in my opinion their image is tainted by the before mentioned versions.

Taking into consideration the insurance cost of the GTR, i'd go for the 34gt-t. Black, no spoiler, dumped. So suttle yet so sweet. Prime candidit for a sleeper... or if you like an oriental flavour they have great rice potential.

with your price limit! ( looks like 35-40k) you couldnt get a nice supra ... possibly stock (YUCK!).

Just go around and get yourself a GT-R.

ever thought of importing a really really clean R32 GT-R? spending 35k will get you something awsome!

I found a 96 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo in the Melbourne Trading post. Had a nice body kit and mad wheels. Think the engine was stock. He was only asking $29000, i dont know if its just me but i found that to be one of the best sales that ive seen. You can get a nice supra for under $30G'z. The only thing that bothers me about supras is that toyota was too lazy to make it a AWD, which means that the GT-R will whip its arse. Go for the GT-R.

Hi,

You definately have no idea what you are talking about, I own an R33 GTR I have occassionally raced my friend's tt Supra and he whoops my arse, Im infront 1st 2nd , after that he eats me, I also know another guy making 410 rwkw making 10.9 secs on stock internals, and yes the GTR can make 11.90 secs on stock internals but not reliably, I have already broken two boxes, yes Im with you on that one man, as soon as I have 47k I'll pick up one Supra and go crazy on mods and not worry about my box... good luck.

YES i'VE SEEN THAT VIDEO AS WELL BUT NO THE CARS DONT SEEM TO BE STANDARD, LOOK AT THE TIME UNDERNEATH ON THE LEFT HAND CORNER, (YOU TALKING ABOUT THE WHITE gtr AND THE SILVER supra) THEY ARE NOT STANDARD, IF MY 33 WOULD LAUNCH LIKE THAT STANDARD IT WOULD BE COOL, BUT I HAVE TO LOOK AFTER THE GEAR BOX SO I CAN SELL IT.

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
