Love my RZTT, it's an absolutely sensational car in almost all departments and has a real muscle car feel about when driving it. The engine is so refined, yet brutal when called for and the 6 speed box is great as well. The thing just feels bullet proof which give you piece of mind. I agree that the interior is really the only aspect of the car that is starting to show it’s age. From the outside however many people comment how they think my RZ is brand new when it’s actually a 93 model. Helps to have a good one however.

Although I love the R34's as well, they just felt more like a performance sedan rather than a sports car. Having said that, for actual track work the R34 GTR would be the sharper weapon (stock vs stock). At the end of day it really depends what you’re after.

When i was looking at purchasing a car last year, i was choosing between a Supra TT and an R34 GTT. Supra's look great and so do R34's but when i sat in a Supra... EEEk.. hated the interior. Just so uncomfortable, felt cluttered. I tried the R34.. so much more room and felt so comfortable.. so bought a R34 instead!!

I still check out Supra's when they drive by but i love my R34 more.

m2c ;)

Does it matter whether it's a 1994 or a 2000 build date?

well ye, i want one with low k's and if u get a late model supra there r some minor changes with aesthetics. Also knowing u have a 97 RZ instead of a 93 is a good feeling.

OK then. I would guess that most MKIV Supras already in Australia have been brought in as cheaply as possible - i.e. older. You best bet for a newest possible model is to import under SEVS.

If you think importing is a bit chancy use an importer like SVI:

Who will import it for you, then there's no risk of the car you pay for not being able to be complied.

Depends on what models we are talking, if a later model RZ 6SPD, say 96+ then most definately the supra. I own an rb25det already and know its potential and limits, the 2JZ far exceeds these and is a next step up in my opinion.

But an older non upgraded brakes etc version then the 34 most probably because of age.

I own an R34 GT-T with an R33 GTR motor in it, but i sell these cars for a living. The R34 is a far more apealing car in terms of looks, styling etc. but performance wise and durability, the 2JZ is far better than the RB25. If you were comparing to a R33 GTR i would probably go for the GTR just because 1 its a GTR and 2 i am a nissan man, never owned anything but a nissan. Also the driving/seating position in the supra is pretty crap, you sit down too low, cant see over the bonnet properly (btw i am 6ft1) and you have heaps of blind spots due to the design of the hatch.

Take the supra, better quality car all round but make sure you go for the 96 model with the bigger brakes, better interior, recaro seats, 17" wheels yada yada yada we have one for sale at the moment for just over $30k immaculate 6spd with sexy work wheels. check it out if you're interested (kamikaze motors, nunawading, vic)

i would choose a R34 GT-T for sure but thats mainly cause i love skylines and also supras are becoming very common nowadays so i would rather something you dont see so often hence the R34

well ya hardley ever see them in perth anyways

    • Thanks Duncan! Yeah it's street use for me only. Maybe occasional track day. Any difference in noise when running with the two pumps? I would expect the lift pump to be more quiet than the main pump so hopefully not? And yes, unfortunately quite a big price difference to the simple hanger setup. Though I'm usually willing to trade money for better reliability and future-proofing. Buy once, cry once and all that. I'd be very happy to never have to deal with fuel pump / wiring issues again  
    • The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p
    • On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.
    • So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
