the supras are an awesome car. plenty of grunt and huge potential. i was looking to buy one before the skyline. i only chose the 33 over the supra due to the supra being a bit too bulky for me. oh.. and i didnt like the interior. too spaceship like.

Tell your friend to get a targa top Supra, hes gonna have trouble fitting his head in it otherwise...

Supras aren't a bad thing IMO. NA ones are ghey, but TT manual ones = :)

I think they are too heavy, the styling looks good from some angles but completely obese from others and the interior is questionable - but at the end of the day, that engine...

2jz ftmfw

Yeah and he smashed it hahahaha

do turbo model supra's only come in TT?

im sure Nick(hulk's son) changed to a single turbo..confirmation....?

yeh i watch the show a fair bit.

Last night Hulk learned how to drift aswell to show Nick and Hulk ripped some nice circle work in a Practice 350z. not bad,not bad at all.. and yeh Nick was driving a Dodge Viper(drift car) i think,was all colourfull,

im only used to seeing Vipers in blue.

Nah its a HUGE trend with supras to flick the stock twin setup and put a T51R or T04Z on there

as much as it pains me to say this but a 2JZ (with turbo and plenum swapped positions) in a GTR would probaby the ultimate thing.

:) You're right, but something inside just tells me "but there's more to it than that..."

It's be unfair if the RB was stronger than 2JZ...the only fans Toyota would have would be mums dropping the kids off every morning ;)

Supra = cheap drag car

GTR = out-of-the-box circuit monster

was going to buy one till i sat in it... how small is the interior!! how crappy does it look... the back seat is pointless.. and most come in auto!!

exactly what I wanted to say...!!! I used to love supras until the day came when I actually sat in one.Me being 6ft tall i had the drivers seat pressed against the joke of a backseat.And even then I just couldnt believe how such a big car can be so small inside..Honda Integras have more interior room FFS.

Those who complain about the weight of the supra are totally misinformed, the supra weighs 1510kg go and check the weight of an r33 or 34 gtr and you will get a surprise.

The 2JZ shits all over the RB26 for strength, durability and potential. The six throttlebody manifold on the RB26 is a beautiful thing but is a negligable advantage in the overall scheme of things. Lets face it, that extra .4 of a litre more than makes up for those throttle bodies.

The 6 speed Getrag is near invinceable, there are supras popping the front wheels off the ground run after run will over 1000rwhp and still standing upto the power, torque and abuse on an unopened gearbox. It is possible to break one but very rare all the same unlike anything nissan.

Yes the stock turbos are a pain in the ass but there are many options if you are a switched on supra owner. There are many supras running high flowed steel wheeled twins making 320+rwkw. My cousins does 327rwkw on US spec factory turbos, there is now also a manufacturer who replaces the standard cartridge with a GT28R cartridge not to mention the number of single turbo kits available.

Traction issues, what traction issues??? You can fit 325's on the rear just by rolloing the lip and getting the right offset.

By the way, its just not a fair comparison. The supra so far above the gtst(which was the original caomparison remember?) its not fair to compare.

Supra Vs Gtr, well they are chalk and cheese and both have their strong and weak points.

I am not biased, i am experienced and have owned the cars in question plus many others and if i wanted many miles of trouble free enjoyable driving(sometimes a little spirited) then i would pick the supra. Skylines, including gtr's(the r34 less so) are just too expensive to make strong, reliable and powerful.

    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
    • Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.
    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
