Hi,

long story short. Im a Supra boy, never liked the r32, r33, but always respected the GTR (regardless of series) for its TT AWD. I like the R34 shape. Supra is the best shape imo.

I found a Supra TT i wanted to buy, so i sold my Supra NA and im handing over the keys tonight. Was about to put a deposit on the TT, but the guy has decided he doesnt want to sell anymore (fair enough since i didnt put a deposit down)

Tradingpost, carsales, carpoint, forums all came up with no good Supra TTs for sale.

So now im stuck without a car, and I have some cash to play with. Decided what the hell and did a search for some R34 GTTs, man have they gone down alot since i last checked. R34 GTTs with 35,000km for 27-28k (I can play with an additional 5 or so grand for moddin). Read the specs on them and they only do 0-100 in 6.4 sec for a 206kW turbo?? My NA did it in 6.5 sec. Is that right? I want a *clean* and *reliable* car that can do about a 5.3-5.5 0-100 with an intimidating look/sound and a nice torque curve. Skylines are renowned for their huge upgrade options in aftermarket mods. How much boost can an R34 handle, and what kind of response can i get from intake/down/catback/boost controller? Supra you can whack on an AVCR and tell her to go 15+Psi for some large numbers. Supras are also known for their top end, Ive never been in a car that can accelerate so fast between the 100-200km/h mark. Is the GTT as flexible as a GTR? or are we looking at WRX quality? (ie really push it hard to get those numbers).

I am trying to get a crash course in RBDETT101 here :P

Thanks

      I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?

      Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?

      So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
