I'd love the Autech but i don't have or really want to spend 18k on a car that when im off my P's i can get another car for around the same or cheaper and demolish it.

I don't know honestly what I want out of my car, I obviously need something to get around in to and from work each day (Don't need anything like a ute for work) but something I can have fun with at the same time and enjoy driving. I would get a 34 but I don't like the sedans at all there real ugly. I don't want to turn it into a beast but i want something just nice thats got a little bit so i can open it up when I want to and have some fun with it. Don't plan on doing TO much to it, while im on my P's mostly looks if anything.

My mate was telling me if I get a N/A supra its the same drive train as the TT Supra so when im off my P's all id need to do is switch the engine basicly and im done?

IF you get the SZ-R. The 5spd manual (what I have) that comes with the SZ is apparently too weak to handle higher powered 2J's. The Getrag 6spd box is near unbreakable though (plenty of 500+rwkw Supras on the Aussie forums with the box), both the RZ (TT Supra) and SZ-R come with the 6spd.

Best advice I can give is to test drive both. I was dead set on the R34 till I test drove a Supra, but your opinion may vary.

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
