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.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
