(pot stiring)

if those 2jz's are so good how come Vlrb30's with less money spent on the vl as the tojo seem to fair just as well unless the 2j has half a morgatage attached ... I say well done toyota for having a go nice engine but clogged up breathing and a dating car.... now piss of back to rally,,,, jokes

Im yet to see a stock VLrb30 pull out 447rwkw stock, which shows that vlrb30 have to spend half a mortgage themselves :P

Cause a quality girlfriend would get out of your car and run off with another man cause his car was faster....

About the kw v time thing. Maybe my views are distorted from much time spent on supraforums when I had my supra. I just remember seeing some stupid dyno sheets with 600hp+ and they could manage a low 11 at best. It make sense they have good times if they really do make the power, just seems alot of supra boys use magic dyno's.

I am NOT hating on 2J's, I owned a na version and loved it (although it needed a turbo pretty bad, lol) but you see ALOT of this sorta stuff from supra owners. This image is a guy selling his car. He is proud of it :)

I could be missing something, someone may have an explanation, but I have seen other like this, yet less extreme.

Maybe its not the engine, rather the stigma of supra, which says, ALL SHOW.

Have you heard of wheel spin? don't just look at the times also look at the mph, at times the time a car pulls it is not a true representation of what the car is really capable of. If a car can ran 11's but have very high mph it could of been wheel spinning most of the way (using shit tyres) which means that the car has shit loads of potential using better rubber and or suspension.

Cheers.

Come back and tell us when a mere 600hp Supra goes around Tsukuba in 57 seconds.

I love Supras,but come on,the GTR is in a different league.

All Sydneykid was saying is the Supra should be compared to other RWD cars,not the immortal GTR.

You dont need to defend your Supras honor,it is an incredible car,its just not a GTR.

Great power figures by the way.

I am not trying to defend supra's, I am just saying, if you are going to make points, at least make them worth while. Also, the GT series was dominated by Supra's, but, that is kinda unfair in saying, because the GTR's couldnt use 4WD, and the Supra's didnt use the 2JZ-GTE. I like the GTR, I have had 3 skylines, the skyline is a more 'throwable' car, but, when it comes to top speed, and handling at top speed, the supra feels much more at home than the GTR (that is stock for stock), after modifications, well, I guess it comes down to has the biggest bank account, and the best team of engineers really...

I have been lucky enough to be in the passenger seat of a MINES customer car in Osaka ,(R34GTR) stage 2 for a short drive and nothing comes close to it. No car I have ever been in gets close and Ive been lucky to drive a V8 supercar in Oz and also driven Lambo's and Ferrari's but they all are slow compared to the Mines. But >>>I have seen some very quick Supra's at time attack days in Japan too-but they never get the times of the top tuned GTR's like Garage Saurus, Mines, M speed, Top Secret etc

If ppl have seen the HKS R34 driven at the same track alongside the Mones car, did anyone else notice something about the way they got down the straight. Surely this is the reason you can attribute much of the Mines cars performance ...anyone have times of it around Suzuka etc. Im betting that whislt it is still an amazing car, perhaps it wont look as good on bigger/faster tracks

The head to head at Tsukuba recently in a 5 lap race,the Mines car had a best of 57sec and the HKS was 1.01.

The Mines car is specifically built to be fast at Tsukuba,although I'm sure they could build a fast car to suit any track.

yes mines gtr shits all over the Hks gtr, but than again it is not an easy task to beat a million dollar car specially built to be fast at Tsukuba.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      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

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.
