Fully Restored Completely Brand New 2010 Supra Build

[natett]

There was a ton of research involved in this car. The reason it went to the US is shops in the US are light years ahead of Australia. It was sent to someone that could be trusted to complete work above anyones expectations.

Im not sure why people are saying that anyone can hand over money and have a great car. I would say more than most modified cars here are completed by workshops. some people do work on their own and complete some great work but this is few and far between.

The Australian industy is full of shonks so why not utilise the high skills of overseas companies. I know if i was to do my project over i would have no hesitation sending it to the US. Obviously we do have some great workshops here that will help and i have been fortunate to find a couple of those but the bads ones out weigh the good ones!

For those who havent even looked through the threads corretly before having a jealous sook, look again. This car is finished. it was built over 2 full years in the US. The car is back in Australia and has been driven on the road a lot. Obviously this is not something to go grocery shopping in but lets face it most projects never are.

end rant...

BACK TO TOPIC!

Nevertheless it is an awesome build. But are there any photos of the car completed?

Guys if you have nothing nice to say please leave it for yourself. Some of the jealous comments are a bit childish.

Boz read the damn thread lol.

You can quite clearly see the guy now knows a hell of a lot about cars and did all the descisions himself and researched a hell of a lot.

OP, there are LOTS of amazing build threads out there. you just have to search for them.

Oh no doubt. But for an import build nothing comes close to this that I have ever come across. I have read most of the build threads on SAU and while a lot of them are very amazing with my favourite being Tangomatts, the thing is that Supra build thread is just in a whole different ballpark.

For the people that are enjoying the thread, it has been updated on page 39

+1

I got to end of the thread and realised it wasn't updated with completed pics

[ClutchBurndout-:(]

i dont think it can be classes as THE 2010 supra, its just another car that someones doing up... unless it gets world record times on the track...

[PM-R33]

I think every one just ment it has been completely built as new with all new parts (hell it probably smells like a new car) So "technically" it's a 2010 model Supra.

oh you f**king illiterate douchebags. READ MY POST AGAIN. I did state that I had never read the original thread, I was explaining why people were commenting as they were to the noob.

[PM-R33]

Not really sure I understand what you are trying to say there dude, pretty sure I understood your post perfectly and I simply said for you to read the damn thread since you said you hadn't read it.

Doesn't sound that way to me:

it's hella lame to give your car to a shop and just say something like that rather than to at least research what you want out of it, parts to use etc.

btw cbf reading original thread on this car

Which is a stupid thing to say when you have not read the thread, hence why I said:

"Clearly you have not read the thread, otherwise you would see that he DID research everything he wanted and all of the parts to use."

So he did research what he wanted "out of it", "parts to use etc."

I can see what'll happen to this thread by about page 4

i was talking about imports, since im really only interested in jap cars.

last but not least, this build. nothing i have found comes close to the amount of effort in the write up. not even a fan of the old skylines but still spent hours reading it all.

Yeah seems to be going that way a bit hey lol.

[curlyjimbo]

If that were my car and I got a ding in it, I'd kill myself.

[PM-R33]

Lol so true.

amazing build. yes money has been thrown at it but i get the feeling that some of the people in here wouldnt be happy unless he had fabricated every single washer and nut by hand.

im wondering about that exhaust manifold, it comes out at 90deg to the block. whats with that?

[kessian]

You would think he would just buy a brand name exhaust manifold, with all the money spent on the car.

You wouldn't be able to for the given setup.

As to the 90 degree manifold question, I had a long look at that manifold, and I'm no manifold builder but I think it was built that way as it was the only way possible to get enough clearance. It would have been a bitch of a manifold to design and build and I'd hate to think what it alone would be worth with the sequential/quick spool setup.

VERY nice build, however, 2 flaws:

1. Auto

2. Built for STREET RACING

[PM-R33]

2. Built for STREET RACING

That's a flaw?

[natett]

The exhaust is part of the sp racing big twin sequential turbo system which can make the car see 6-700nm @ as low as 3000rpm.

It's basically a mental redesigned version of the standard supra set-up! Only downside is that each car is fabricated from scratch so no kits available and that there is a significant amount of pipe work involved.

This car tested it's potential to be installed on a rhd vehicle.
