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.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
