I love supra's but ive got a under 20K budget... for awhile i was considering the r33 gts-t because value for money... (for the value i dont think there are any negatives) but i love supras, my favorite car. and im considering gettin a NA. stock for stock both cars have about the same power etc.

if i got the NA supra i would turbo it, first thing ill do. ive heard of turbo kits to give 600hp, cost around 10K

so after 2 years id have a full blown motor in the car i like most

or should i buy the r33 do it up and mayb 5 years from now get a TT version...

im so confused....

also a turn off is driving a NA for a year... id hate for car enthuseists to go "oh nice car... oh its none turbo... pfftt"

what are your opinions??

Yeah dont get the NA. I have a R32 with an RB35DE (factory) and I want a turbo now... I'm in the same boat, that now I'm looking to upgrade to a R34, I want a turbo, but really only have a budget for an NA...

So I will be waiting a few months I guess...

dude you're on a skyline forum what kind of opinions do you expect to get.

ask on a toyota forum and you'll get the exact opposite suggestions.

there is no chance in hell you'd wanna drive the same car for 5 years, i bet ya you'll get sick of it after 2 years max.

Why?

It would cost you a lot less to buy a RZ than to get an SZ and buy a turbo kit on it, and then have to uprate everything else to cope with the extra power.

And I'm no 2JZ expert, but 600hp out of a stock NA bottom end sounds a bit like wishful thinking.

Probably the best course of action would be to get the NA Supra. Once you get used to that, swap in the 5.0 litre 1GZ-FE engine from the Toyota Century.

Displacement, cc 4996

Engine model 1GZ-FE

Max.power (Net), kw(PS)/rpm 280 ps (205.94 kw) / 5200 rpm

Max.torque(Net), N*m(kg*m)/rpm 49.0 kg*m (480.53 N*m) / 4000 rpm

Power density 7.14

Engine type V type 12 cylinder DOHC

Engine information VVT-i

Fuel system EFI (electronic fuel injection)

Turbocharger No

Fuel type Unleaded premium gasoline

LEV system (Low emission vehicle) No

Compression ratio 10.5

Bore, mm 81

Stroke, mm 80.8

Then add two turbos and stir.

Don't forget the number plates: Supra V12 or something similar

Dont get the NA supra or you'll regret it wishing you went twin turbo.

you have 20G's to spend,. find a nice mildly moded GTST and spend a little on it.. they will be faster than any NA supra and will be about the same with any stock twin turbo supra..could be more.

i drive an r33 gtst... i love that car...its my second r33 in fact...and now i have just purchased an RZ 6spd which will be in my driveway in a couple of weeks time next to my r33.

I was in the same predicament mate. I'm a die-hard supra fan, love Toyotas, love Supras, but I only had 20k to play with as well.

I bought an R33 Gts-t and definately haven't looked back. My mate has an n/a Supra and while they are fast for what they are, the Gts-t is faster and feels a hell of a lot more powerful too.

The Supra is a far more refined ride, but when it comes to performance the RB25DET wins hands down. Moreso if you spend 3k and add zorst, cooler and boost.

Now that I've spent 10k on it I realise that if I had have waited and bought nothing, I would have enough for a TT now... but that's beside the point. Turboing the n/a is not a viable option. Either get the Gts-t or stick with a shitter till you have enough for the TT. This could be a good idea.

Oh, an R33 Gts-t with 10k spent on it will shit on a stock RZ. But spend some money on the RZ and it's bye bye Skyline.

    • Nah, you failed to pay your washer cover subscription and BMW have revoked your access.
    • Haha thanks Lith,  So it's currently working quite well and the torque reduction is setup and working phenomenal. It also got a custom torque convertor from All Fast in WA. Stall speed somewhere around 5500rpm unlocked but still with the lockup. The car went back onto the dyno after a 3yr hiatus (even with the dbw, and other mods completed in this time) managed to make ~515kw at all 4 hubs. Sean setup the Torque reduction which now sounds awesome and working well. We setup adjustable torque controlled launch control aswell.  Man what a feature. Especially when drag racing on street tyres I Managed to get out to the drags late last year and tick a huge bucket list item off of running mine and the cars first 9. Car went a 9.98 @142 Still had the young fellas car seat in the back aswell.  This was on 255/40/17 Nankang AR-1.  Currently the Turbolamik is still completing it's own torque calcs and managing shift times from there. Unfortunately emtrons can export is still a little restrictive to export the ecu calculated torque just yet but I have recently been suggested a work around that I just haven't had a chance to trial yet.     
    • Yeah its bad eh. Ey! Watch your mouth. Yep, spot on. The rear's are always gone too though from brake checking. I had them perilously close to a tree that we had taken down. I think the tree peeps may have taken it. Either for a trophy, or accidentally.  
    • f**kin' yikes! That insulation is the shittest stuff I have ever seen. You need to do an insurance job on that f**ker, pronto. WRT to the washer cover, I would have said that there'd have to be some at a wrecker, then remembered that it's a BMW, and reasoned that every single wrecked one would have been tailgating and so the front end would be trashed.
