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

Disappointing we just didnt get to show it     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
