how can the supra be in the gtrs shadow???

it was made to destroy the american muscle cars and it does that very veyr well.. in most cases, its faster, brakes better and handles better. doesnt always look better but its still an eye catcher

everyone knows the supra for its out right speed potential..

gtr is known for its out right track dominance. they are both brutal machines, but in theyre respective fields.

u dont see any 6sec gtrs.. but then u dont see any track ownin supras.. each are different. no1s in anyones shadow

i hope the lf-a owns all those mercs and bmw's and astons and what not.. i hope they own the luxo barge league

Didn't the LFA cut a 7min24sec lap round the Ring? Last time I checked it was quicker than the new GTR...and even if it isn't...thats still a VERY impressive time for a rwd NA...

And that howl from the V10 as heard on those youtube videos is enough to send a chill down my spine!!!

Someone correct me here, but i was under the impression that the supra 2jz, had a faster 1/4 time than an r33 gtr, and was renowned for its excellent neutral handling despite its curb weight(hmmm do i see a similarity to the r35)

that is 100% correct, hence me sayin, u DONT see 6sec gtrs (meaning u see 6 sec supras) BUT u dont see any supras owning the track because they dont.. they gtr owns the track

as for nuetral handling.. i dont think so. maybe when theyre prepped, but in stock form, theyre not very nuetral

they understeer easily and they oversteer even easier

the 7:24 isnt confirmed or official, but i doubt it will be far off that given the predicted numbers the V10 will produce and knowing Toyotas build quality. The Lexus is a hot looking car and sounds tough as nails, unlike the vaccuum cleaner GTR :laugh:

I believe only on full drag tires. But on street legal tires such as Nittos? - not a chance.

In Japan, they are more into the the Nitto's for their drag cars - makes it more challenging. You don't see many or any Supra's in the RH9 club.

u see 6 sec supras

They're not Supras, it's a bespoke drag chassis with some plastic over it that looks sorta like a Supra, if it's dark and you squint a bit. You could easily change it from Supra looking plastic to Camaro looking plastic in less than an hour.

RH9 is a club for GTRs running under 9sec on street tyres. thats why you dont see any supras in there. cos its a GTR club

You are correct...its far better than what people make it out to be...i've read that it actually holds more Gs under constant cornering compared to a 33gtr...not sure about the standard 1/4 times though...

And just just for good measure...watch this!!!

Watch the supra take on the other cars of its time...then call it a boat...in the vid...SUPRA > GTR RX7 NSX....

I didn't mean comparing one extreme to the other (fastest track GTR vs the fastest drag Supra)

I'm well aware of what each car is capable tuned to the extreme.

I meant, the appeal of the car to your average performance vehicle enthusiast.

i.e Real life application. That means GROUNDING the power. :P

Mod for Mod a street GTR will always be quicker than a street Supra, at the track OR the drags. AWD ftw!

My point is that there aint any Supras with street tires running under 10 sec quarter mile times. RWD and just too heavy - no matter how good the engine is.

    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf

    • Skip the concrete, we just need to smooth a field. Mark knows how to drive a grader Duncan   I reckon 100x100 flat area for skid pan style, and then some sort tracks for rally... Duncan's already got a rally car on the premises to...
    • Well, yeah, the RB26 is definitely that far off the mark. From a pure technology point of view it is closer to the engines of the 60s than it is to the engines of the last 10 years. There is absolutely nothing special about an RB26 that wasn't present in engines going all the way back to the 60s, except probably the four valve head. The bottom end is just bog standard Japanese stuff. The head is nothing special. Celicas in the 70s were the same thing, in 4cyl 2 valve form. The ITBs are nothing special when you consider that the same Celicas had twin Solexes on them, and so had throttle plates in the exact same place. There's no variable valve timing, no variable inlet manifold, which even other RBs had either before the 26 came out or shortly afterward. The ECU is pretty rude and crude. The only things it has going for it are that the physical structure was pretty bloody tough for a mass produced engine, the twin-turbos and ITBs made for a bit of uniqueness against the competition (and even Toyota were ahead on the twin turbs thing, weren't they?) and the electronic controls and measuring devices (ie, AFMs, CAS, etc) were good enough to make it run well. Oh, and it sounds better than almost anything else, ever. The VR38 is absolutely halfway between the RB generation and the current generation, so it definitely has a massive increase in the sophistication of the electronics, allowing for a lot more dynamic optimisation of mapping. Then there's things like metal treatments and other coatings on things, adoption of variable cam stuff, and a bunch of other little improvements that mean it has to be a better thing than the RB26. But I otherwise agree with you that it is approximately the same thing as a 26. But, skip forward another 10 years from that engine and then the things that I mentioned in previous post come out to play. High compression, massively sophisticated computers, direct injection, clever measuring sensors, etc etc. They are the real difference between trying to make big power with a 26 and trying to make big power with a S/B50/54 (or whatever the preferred BMW engine of the week is).
