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.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...

      That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.

      If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
