That leaves you several thousand for those "wear and tear" issues.

believe u me its not ....thats what most people think it is but its not ...

its like when u get the exhaust with the butterfly in it for the r34 it has two modes sport and normal driving ...its actually not nismo either its a nissan sports exhaust as well.

LOL, 10 years old being old.  Most Skyline imports are around that age or older.

hence my car is 1999/2000 model dude

currently 4-5 yrs old, keeping it for another 3 yrs and it'll still be under 10

the 93 supra i was looking at would be approaching 12 yrs old

big difference

thats why my car is a 1999/2000 model

currently only around 5 yrs old and after another 3 years, it'll still be under 10 yrs old

the 93/94 supra i was looking at back then would now be approaching 12 yrs old already, great car, definately better than the gtt in power but not what i was looking for due to age

like i said, if it was a 97+, then i'd wouldve definately went for it

Hey I'm not bagging you (sorry if you thought that), it's just that a lot of people (me included) could not afford a R34 GTT so we go for the older cars.

N/A Supras are fast for what they are. Stock to stock, my S1 33 Gts-t is a little faster than my mates 96 n/a Supra which is damn good on behalf of the fact the Supra has no turbo.

If I had have had more money when I went car shopping, would have gone the TT Supra for sure though. Much more of a beast than 33's, 34's, and n/a Sup's.

i think it will never has an answer

most people will say GTR is better, include me

but a guy i know, who owned MANY cars (SL600, R32 GTR, TT supra, costworth, FD & more)

and all of them are mildly mod (bigger turbo)

he told me he love his supra most.

I would definately go a series 2 or 3 R33 GTR (96-97). You should be able to pick up a good clean example for approx 45 with a few mods and IMHO I think its a better option than the tt supra, especially if you decide to modify and enjoy the traction advantage that the GTR has.

Hi mate,

I was pretty much on the same boat when I changed my R33 GTR for a TT Supra about a year ago, but after listening to my mechanic of how great the Supra was so I had to get one to try out, and still loving it.

There is no comparison between the GTT or GTST to the TT Supra, as the sups is a far better built machine with lots of potential.

Dont get either mate. For thirty grand you have so many opions. But think about what you want and want it for. Performance , drifting , luxury etc and got from there. But for around 25G you can pick up a GTR probably a R32, but then your talking 4WS 4WD, Twin turbo or a monster m/f#@cker. But if you want performance dont go the N/A Supra big disappointment. Plus the Skyline doesnt stand out to police, whereas the supra does more.

supra looks beautiful stock, GT-T need a bit of facework. Personal choice really.

Another question, why would you get auto? they cost around the same.

Any second hand car you get will have problems, so you might as well throw the money at something with a manual gearbox.

Don't go N/A as its alot slower and still just as heavy.

30,000 Id get a 33gt-r or an RX7 series VII or VIII or maybe even a WRX

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
