Love my RZTT, it's an absolutely sensational car in almost all departments and has a real muscle car feel about when driving it. The engine is so refined, yet brutal when called for and the 6 speed box is great as well. The thing just feels bullet proof which give you piece of mind. I agree that the interior is really the only aspect of the car that is starting to show it’s age. From the outside however many people comment how they think my RZ is brand new when it’s actually a 93 model. Helps to have a good one however.

Although I love the R34's as well, they just felt more like a performance sedan rather than a sports car. Having said that, for actual track work the R34 GTR would be the sharper weapon (stock vs stock). At the end of day it really depends what you’re after.

When i was looking at purchasing a car last year, i was choosing between a Supra TT and an R34 GTT. Supra's look great and so do R34's but when i sat in a Supra... EEEk.. hated the interior. Just so uncomfortable, felt cluttered. I tried the R34.. so much more room and felt so comfortable.. so bought a R34 instead!!

I still check out Supra's when they drive by but i love my R34 more.

m2c ;)

Does it matter whether it's a 1994 or a 2000 build date?

well ye, i want one with low k's and if u get a late model supra there r some minor changes with aesthetics. Also knowing u have a 97 RZ instead of a 93 is a good feeling.

OK then. I would guess that most MKIV Supras already in Australia have been brought in as cheaply as possible - i.e. older. You best bet for a newest possible model is to import under SEVS.

If you think importing is a bit chancy use an importer like SVI:

Who will import it for you, then there's no risk of the car you pay for not being able to be complied.

Depends on what models we are talking, if a later model RZ 6SPD, say 96+ then most definately the supra. I own an rb25det already and know its potential and limits, the 2JZ far exceeds these and is a next step up in my opinion.

But an older non upgraded brakes etc version then the 34 most probably because of age.

I own an R34 GT-T with an R33 GTR motor in it, but i sell these cars for a living. The R34 is a far more apealing car in terms of looks, styling etc. but performance wise and durability, the 2JZ is far better than the RB25. If you were comparing to a R33 GTR i would probably go for the GTR just because 1 its a GTR and 2 i am a nissan man, never owned anything but a nissan. Also the driving/seating position in the supra is pretty crap, you sit down too low, cant see over the bonnet properly (btw i am 6ft1) and you have heaps of blind spots due to the design of the hatch.

Take the supra, better quality car all round but make sure you go for the 96 model with the bigger brakes, better interior, recaro seats, 17" wheels yada yada yada we have one for sale at the moment for just over $30k immaculate 6spd with sexy work wheels. check it out if you're interested (kamikaze motors, nunawading, vic)

i would choose a R34 GT-T for sure but thats mainly cause i love skylines and also supras are becoming very common nowadays so i would rather something you dont see so often hence the R34

well ya hardley ever see them in perth anyways

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
