BTW I have read that Speed article, but it really is just an opinion piece. I can't see how they're "PRO's". Sure they've probably driven a lot of cars and are more qualified to judge the cars than me, but aren't they just fellow enthusiasts driving cars and then writing about them?

Look.. if it soo different league.. GTR as u say..

why they put into Supra and GTT in the contest?? and Supra came LAST??

isn't it suppose to be other way around ... if SUPRA was SOOOO good in GTR league!!!

Anyways... i think SPEED guyz have good opinion.. because they have driven more cars and been though more than us i am sure if it....

And i am sure they not biased....

BTW.. power dont mean EVERYTHING.. is the overall proformance etc etc... Just look at RX-7... was the least power from the DYNO... and WIN....

who buyz car just for 0-100?? or 1/4 miles... If so just buy a drag car... :headspin: lol

Anyways.. this post.. is not clear on what is needed.. Is to general.. just GTT vs Supra.. Does he want Stock vs Stock or Mods vs Mods....

I don't know why they put them in the same comparison. And yes' date=' it is a little strange to me that the Supra came last. I'm sure Speed aren't biased, but every other review I've ever read says the Supra handles really well and goes damn hard. It's almost always compared to the GTR.

Anyway, lets just say that you'd prefer a GTT and I'd prefer a Supra :rofl:

Anyways.. this post.. is not clear on what is needed.. Is to general.. just GTT vs Supra.. Does he want Stock vs Stock or Mods vs Mods....

Yeah then it's a clear win for the Supra, but I was assuming they were stock.

?? sign.. read that article again plzz.. both modified in same way...

SUPRA has more power... and Lasttttttt...

GTT less powerful still better than supra.. win..

WHAT is soo hard to understand?? lol...

SURPA Lost... lastttttt...

If u don't think so... give letters bk to SPEED..(love to see u do it, and what comments from the PRO will give u hahaha )...!!!!

Anyways.. i don't want to say more.. u have ur say.. i have mine... :rofl:

Does he want Stock vs Stock or Mods vs Mods....

either

That Supra coming last in that magazine could have been due to lots of things such as supra not been tuned as much as others for circuit specs or could have been a shit driver not used to the supra's capabilities.

All had the same mods Supra had big power and great speed in a straight line but just couldnt match the others when it came to handling ect

There's nothing hard to understand. I don't know why you're still talking about this speed article. I know more power doesn't automatically mean it's better, and I didn't say that. I think I'll pass on writing a letter to speed just because I disagree with their review too.

I'll just leave this discussion here as this really isn't going anywhere :cheers:

a few years ago my favourite jap sports cars were supras. I saw a black one with no wing, lowered with these huge magz and I was in love. Problems started when I kept seeing supras around that looked crap, HEAPS of them. My love affair cooled to just an appreciation.

The supra is a nice car and I would love to own one. But over a much less common more modern design better driving car?

SIF

*moan GTT*

how much would either of these cars set you back? on road, relativly stock?

well all depends on what year u want. Late model Supra's are expensive eg 97 Rz will set u back like $40-45k, 98 with vvti like $50k? GTT's range from like $28k-$40k also depending on year.

I'd go the GT-T purely on looks. Looks wayyyyyy better than a Supra, also, R34s are rare, compared to Supras.

Performance wise Supra would win.....but that's what mods are for. I'd go the Skyline anyday.

Oh yeah, this Nissan, Toyota stuff......LoL both are Japanese Manufacturers, kinda like comparing Holden and Ford. You can't say for example, "the skyline is better because its a Nissan" or vice versa. Same budget production methods.

when buyin my car

my first choice was a supra as i've always wanted one since i first saw them

however, with the money i spent on the r34, i wouldve only gotten a 93-94 supra which is a bit too old for my liking and i didnt want to spend $$ on problems i could avoid

imo, supras are becoming very common.. however, thats not to say the r34 isnt fast becoming the same

both are great cars.. supra will kill the GTT in terms of straight line and power output whilst the GTT is more of a cruiser/daily driver which still have enough go to have fun

99-2000 rz supras sell for about 1.8 mil jpy in jap auctions , thats for a 6 sp manual with 50 k k's on the clock .

98-2000 gtt's sell for about .1.6 mil jpy for a 5 speed manual with the same k's .

As you can see there is not much diff in the price of the 2 .

Both have 206kw but supra has 451 n/m and gtt has only 333 n/m

Supra has even heaps more torque that the 34 gtr (only 392 n/m )

Supra weighs 1510 kg and gtt only 1410 kg .

I don't know wich is quicker in straight line but i dont think there is much in it , on the other hand the 34 gtr is much quicker than both .

In May 98 the gtt ( release date ) was selling for 2.9 mil jpy and the rz 4.5 jpy ( in august 99 )

The gtt has a better resale value than the rz ( in japan )

By comparison in january 99 Gtr sold for 5 mil jpy and V-spec 5.6 mil .

I dont know which car is better between the 2 , i think is a personal opinion as they are both good cars .

I think i would buy a 33 gtr for about the same money as the supra .

I think they aren't in the same comparison. For me i want thrills from a car. I like nissans a lot, but the supra holds more for me, and is the only toyota that does. One fact is that you can easily get over 650hp @ wheel with bolt on mods.. If anyone has seen a video of the walser supra beating a hyabusa on the highway, it had 2835 twins, cams, 70hp nitrous, and stock bottom end.Try that in a gtst, or even a gtr. Also the gearboxes and diff's are much stronger. I dont know how many cars i've seen run 9's @150mph with a stock box and just a diff center changed.

Handling can be fixed quite easily, but if your comparing stock 2 stock then sure you probably have a point. But with properly setup suspension im sure the supra wouldn't handle that much worse if any than a GT-T, and there is no way that with mild mods a GT-T would stick with it in a straight line.

Thats just my opinion based on my preferences, im sure others have different tastes.

Also i think the 2JZ is the king of sound... very tough sounding engine

agree there! in stock form, the gtt is a much nicer car to drive. but for modifying, the gtt is not in the same league as the supra.

but again, for the money of a RZ, i would save alittle bit more to get a R34GTR :P

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
