There's nothing to defend mate... it's a bit like saying; a Toyota Corolla rocks up next to you at the lights and starts mouthing off at how shit he thinks your Skyline is - who gives a rat's arse... we all know which is better... that's the main thing...

To truth is, the Supra engine is amongst one of the toughest to come out of Japan - however, said that, the RB engine is much more durable, sounds tougher, has much much more modifying potential and, if modified right, has the potential to produce much more power... and don't forget, the Supra is much heavier than the Skyline... and hey, what you think, a Supra or a Skyline looks better - I think Supras look hideaous!

At the end of the day, who gives a fark what he thinks... am I right?

the idea to begin with was to compare the 33 gtst vs. N/A supra

unfortunately i wasnt clear enough about what i was referring to and a lot of people thought i was talking about a GTST vs. TT supra

Oh, if its an N/A its no competition. GTST will win a straight line race. Hardly fair to race an N/a vs a turbo car when they both weigh roughly the same amount

To truth is, the Supra engine is amongst one of the toughest to come out of Japan - however, said that, the RB engine is much more durable, sounds tougher, has much much more modifying potential and, if modified right, has the potential to produce much more power...

Sorry, but thats wrong.

The amount of RB26's failing shows the 2J to be more "durable"

Want potential? Start with a 2J. Better oil control for a start, can run up to 450kw with stock internals etc

Power? There's way more 2j's pulling ridiculous power levels on dyno's than RB26's

I agree the RB26 sounds better but the 2J has a very nice tone to it aswel.

To stay on topis: GTST wins against an N/A supra in a straight line.

My girl is stuck with the stupid p plate laws and she wants a non turbo supra till she can get an R34 turbo. I think she should just put a twin turbo engine in the supra after shes off p plates. That way I can drive my GT-R AND a TT supra :D

I guess most guys are saying 'the skyline's my wife, the supra's that chick I meet at the bar'

sure... if you like picking up fat chicks at the bar.

Mate that is so going in my sig, that's brilliant. Skyline for life and just bang a supra around for a bit :D

When I bought my R33, I looked at a mazda rx7 and a turbo supra first. My personal preference is that I just love the leg room and non cramped cockpit of the skyline :D I couldn't imagine going on long cruises in a supra but then again I'm quite tall. If I were shorter I may well have gone with the supra instead. I would never have bought an N/A supra tho, just not my style :D

no.. you said

hi

my mate is getting a TT supra and he keeps shitting on about how much better they are then skylines. Unfortunately all i know about supras is that they are normally driven by faggots (like this guy).

can you guys tell me all the bad points about supras you can think of.

cheers

p.s. he is driving an N/A supra at the moment so if there are any bad points specifically related to them please post them.

so we asumed he was getting a TT supra and he keeps shitting on about how much better they are then skylines

and so yes.

it is better than a skyline gtst

and...

Bold sections are true... the rest of that quote is so so wrong that it makes me laugh..

Noob skyline drivers will argue that skyline has better engine

Ignorant skyline will argue skyline has better engine

Skyline owners who've been around the block a few times , read a few hundred gigs of info will know 2JZ shits on RB all day everyday, everywhere.

Handling wise, depends on the model.

This is a simple fact of life. Remaining options

1. Have a cry, bitch moan and continue the argument

2. Build a bridge, get over it and don't look back. These comparison's never get anywhere except somehwere down the line, some stupid teenager will get worked up and throw personal insults because he can't face the facts.

blah blah blah blah. all i know is i dont like the supra headlights. they look down-syndromed. why the hell did they do that? besides that, the supra is a nice car. with the exception of the ones that are tarted up to look like cheap whores by their bling/rice loving owners.

His actually from a moon of a planet.

the Planet Uranus has a small moon called hisanus..

he is from the backside of hisanus

LOL!! :laughing-smiley-014:

Edit: I forgot to say something, turbo'd supra's are better than gtst's, I don't see anything wrong with the supra's styling. That's my opinion. I'm now building a bridge and walking the f**k out of here.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.

      12.8 for a great condition, fully charged battery. If the battery will only ever properly charge to about 12.2V, the battery is well worn, and will be dead soon. When I say properly charge, I mean disconnect it from the car, charge it to its max, and then put your multimeter on it, and see what it reads about an hour later. Dieing batteries will hold a higher "surface charge", but the minutest load, even from just a multimeter (which in the scheme of things is considered totally irrelevant, especially at this level) will be enough over an hour to make the surface charge disappear.   I spend wayyy too much time analysing battery voltages for customers when they whinge that our equipment (telematics device) is causing their battery to drain all the time. Nearly every case I can call it within about 2 months of when the battery will be completely dead. Our bigger customers don't even debate it with me any more ha ha ha. A battery at 12.4 to 12.6 I'd still be happy enough with. However, there's a lot of things that can cause a parasitic draw in a car, first of which is alarms and immobilisers. To start checking, put your multimeter into amps, (and then connect it properly) and measure your power draw with everything off. Typical car battery is about 40aH. Realistically, you'll get about half this before the car won't start. So a 100mA power drain will see you pretty much near unstartable in 8 days.

      Car should sit at 12.2 or more, maybe 12.6 or 12.7 when fully charged and happy. If there is a decent enough parasitic load then it will certainly go lower than 12.2 with time. You can't beat physics.

      Ok guess I can rule out the battery, probably even the starter and alternator (maybe) as well. I'm gonna clean those leads and see what happens if it's still shit I might take it to an auto electrician. Unless the immobiliser is that f**king heavy, but it shouldn't be.  If I start the car every day, starts up perfectly never an issue. Isn't 12v low, shouldn't it be around 12.5v?
