Hi all,

I need your help. My mind is split on deciding which car to do up. I have a 94' R33 gtst and a 96' Supra (t-turbo, 6 speed, inline 6)

The skyline is predominantly stock but the supra has had little work done.

I want to choose a car to do up fully engine wise and mild body work......i mean eeeevverything. The other car will be daily driven.

questions,

1. Which car will have more potential once modified?

2. Which car is cheaper to do UP?

3. Ease of availabilty of parts standard and aftermarket?

4. Which car will have more rwkw with the same mods?

You may be wondering what mods i will be doing, check back next time once i have finalised the works with my engineer.

1. both have unlimited potential depends how deep your pockets are

2. supra, they have bullet proof bottom ends which means u can go further before needing to touch

3. both the same, supra has a huge US following whilst the r33 has a followiung in australia, both have massive japanese followings as well

4. tough call, different engines, different weights, supra has 2 turbos stock etc......supra will go better cheaper

Why do people compare the TT SP Supras to the GTST Skylines? They're not really in the same league, nor were they ever intented to be. Even stock for stock, a TT 6SP Supra would simply kill a GTST. No question.

I'm pretty certain the Supra engine has considerably more modding capabilities than the Gtst.

Regards,

Andrew

dude if u want power go witht he 2JZ for sure, id take the supra TT over the gtst anyday without a doubt, though if u had a GTR it would be a different story altogether

anywayz dude, ur lucky for having 2 very respectful Jap imports and imo use the r33 as ur daily driver and RZ as ur weekend thrasher

This will be a long term project for me and i can have deep pockets if an when needed.

If i do decide to mod the gtst i will be dropping an RB26DETT, possibly ditch the twin turbos and go for one large baby. Then carry on with further planned mods. So in actual fact we are able to compare them. Both may have twin or single turbos and there both 6 cycls.

If i win again another day I'd mod them both.....................***if and when....I think i'm dreaming***

How abt selling both and buying an r34 GTR?

and perhaps a 1991 mazda 323 as a daily.

You have to be pretty specific though...do u want just a fast street car? a drag car? a track car?

Guess what........If my girlfriend comes back with a positive result, i will be doing just that, buying a SP23 but not a GTR.

I want a fast every thing street, drag and track!

Depends on how far you want to go with mods my mate is a supra TT with similar mods to my gtst and I expected to get flogged but it was quiet the opisite. He has more RWKW than my but dont be fooled they are a lot heavier car. The line kills it but if you want to go all out the supra may go harder for less. Supra has a better engine and will handel more power in stock form but the Skyline is a lighter car and still has a great engine. Personally id go the skyline.

:)

This is a no brainer. Supra > Gts-t.

It will shit on it. You own both cars. Don't you notice the superiority of the Supra? I have a 240rwkw R33 Gts-t and yeh it's great but I'd swap it for a TT Supra any day. Possibly even a stock one if it was is good condition.

Post this on a Toyota forum (www.toymods.org.au) and see what answers you get. 99% will laugh at the question.

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
