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.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
