which would you buy, the turbo r34 2door or a N/A 95-96' supra being that my budget is $30,000? for this $$ i'd be looking at an auto version of ither  :kick:

For $30k, you'll get a TT 6 spd Supra. IMHO go the Supra... I took one for a drive, and had a ball.

n/a supra's are still fairly quick, good old supra engines, but yes if you want somehting newer maybe a gtt is the way to go as many supra's are now getting a bit long in the tooth.

TT supra shouldnt be left out of consideration so test drive all three vehicles i say and get what you like best along with what suits you better...

for 30k, u can look at TT supras

anyways, i had the same dilemma back when i got my car ..

from my budget, it was either a 99 r34 gtt or a 93-94 tt supra

r34 won due to:

* Newer, as the supra was approaching 10 yrs old. Though i love the supra, i couldnt convince myself to spend the $30k to buy a car of that age

* Supra's are becoming more common in syd (not to say that r34's arent but relatively there are a few more supras running around than r34s)

* Its my daily driver, so big power and drag battles arent on my priority list

however, with that said, i wouldve picked a 97+ supra if i had the chance =)

been looking around to night and came up with these as the leading examples so far:

http://autopages.autoweb.com.au/cms/usedca...77/vehicle.html link to r34 gt-t

love the nismo kit on the r34....

thank for the replys guys.......

p.s. as of this afternoon budget may have gone up $13,000 as have strong interest in my HR30 coupe....

"links and pics are prime examples of what i would be buying not saying i am buying either of these"

My Choice GTR33 (Anything from $33k --> $55k)

THEN

SUPRA TT (My friend just picked up a 96 Model Black TT Supra wif FMIC and exhaust compiled 98 with 80k kms for $30k after bargaining) Nice car, good power BUT not practical what so ever, back seats useless Boot is useless..

THEN R34 GTT ( i don't really like this car.. too over priced)

thats my 2c..

GOod Luck!

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
