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

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
