I owned a 1JZ-GTE twin-turbo Type R before my Skyline. I took it to a few performance places where they told me not to bother wasting my money on trying to make it go fast.

Then I see in HPI Supras like this with 500hp doing 10sec 1/4's, is it just that the guys here don't know what there doing. All they seem to like working on is SR20's and RB's.

I think that Supras are awesome cars, in terms of both looks and performance. Good luck with the new Supra forum Boostzor, hope it is sucessful.

See'ya

:burnout:

M8 i pull a 14.3 1/4 with only zorst and filter i wouldnt exactly call that 'slow'. The only thing that lets em down is the weight, they make more stock than the 'line ever will (cept for R) and the susp aint so great but they have kikass gearboxes.

Hi Boostzor,

Ignore Hicks, he's just jealous cause the only thing he can drag off is mum doing the shopping in the commodore.

The supra was a manual, had an awesome amount of power and torque for a relatively factory car. I don't want to name names, as I know them reasonably well, but they played around with them before and couldn't get any reasonable power out of one, even with a bigger turbo etc.

The japs must know a trick or two that us Aussies don't.

I didn't think the suspension was that bad, but I think the Type R's had stiffer suspension that the normal models.

See'ya

The single turbo was much better seeing as it had vvti and all. I reckon it would be easier to make power out of, too bad they are almost impossible to find it was hard enuff to find a manual tt to begin with. The nissans are just a little more basic i reckon and it makes em easier to work with " air goes in, gas comes out" plus the supra just looks soo bling bling :(

Hicks: Having a good time with photoshop i see.

    • Just the down shift from 5th to 4th is crunching
    • I was told to put in vmx80 for about 500kms. Then change to Motul 75w90 it goes into all gears smoothly, I do hear a slight hissing noise when release clutch 
    • My fourth gear is not perfect but I hard shifted it into fourth from fifth and its shifting better now. Not bothering me atleast.  I think the cheapest option is to replace the whole transmission for a R33 heritage one for like 1500 USD not including the shipping. Thats what I was going to do but its not bothering me anymore. What is bothering me is my idle is weak now after I change my intake to a smaller one so I need a tune again - loves to stall in reverse and when the aircon is on lol ... Love these older cars. WOT is strong though.
    • Either you specced the wrong fluid or your clutch is not releasing properly for whatever reason.
    • Did you manage to fix the problem? I’m having the same issue but everything is new in my gearbox
