Just going off my experience one of my kids has a na supra and there not overly quick but quicker than a na skyline, when working on the supra every thing just seems more difficult but might just be because we work on the skylines more often. I prefer my 34 any day his supra seems to be a bit jumpy on our roads which are fairly crappy and getting in and out of supras is an effort because you sit low in them and they've got a big step to get out of them, might be ok for the younger generation. Everything seems to cost more on a supra and harder to find. If it's power you want like gtsboy said chuck a bigger turbo, injectors and the rest of the stuff you need and you get a damn quick car. Supras do look good but.....

No. I was being quite serious. Nissans of the era are not terrible, but they have a large array of electrical problems. Toyotas, even Supras, are whitegoods with supreme reliability.

?oh rly. What kind of electrical Problem? I been thinking getting something else now. Since my pocket is not enough for fixing and tune....

You are looking at the wrong cars if reliability is your top concern

Commonwhore SS 6.0 are cheap, throw in a big cam-springs-pushrods, a zorst and some tuning.

Mad aircon lounge chair shopping trolley taxi NA skids.

Just don't go around any corners, and plan your fuel stops.

Or is this just floating around in my mind at the moment????

There's some deals to be had at the moment, prices are dropping everywhere.

this seems like a pretty silly thread bro buy what ever car floats your boat and if its to slow make it faster for yourself. legit twin turbo supras sell for a crazy dollar lots of guys scoop the na ones and single turbo them which makes them good to go with a rear lsd, and couple other parts. skylines are cool im sure your going to find lots of people that are gunna say the r34 you are on skyline australia....as far as reliability any cars only has good as its owner when your talking 25 year old cars... and the time and money your willing to put in to keeping in clean and well will determine the "reliability". gtsboy said it right these cars get in the wrong hands and get bunged up bad.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.

      Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary?

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
