Supra 98 model RZ, with 19in wheels....38K. VVTi and all that.

Car was immaculate. Still maybe for sale. If your interested I'll pass on the guys details to you.

had a look at a few today. Some shocking examples.

Im going for the 2JZ (with vvti) over the RB25det (went thru same delemma as well). The 2JZ really is technologically miles more advanced than the GT-T in every respect. Its also far more advanced than the rb26dett.

Sequentail turbos, lots of torque down low, much better components (which is why its bullet proof) and larger capacity.

only reason i ended up with the gtst is due to the turbo & price, once you go turbo, there is no goin back to a NA. The 2jz is a strong engine - but the NA i think is boring.

Having said that - put a RZ and a r33/r34 gtr side by side, i would not have a clue as to what to go for - I like them both. But now that the new gtr is coming out - i think the supra maybe a little out dated.....hmmm...as you can see...even when im writing this, i have no idea what I would buy.....

Good choice Tracid. Those who are saying they'd rather a GT-T need to drive a 2JZ turbo car :P When deciding on a car to buy, i only JUST chose an R33 over an older MA70 Supra with a 1JZ conversion, and that was only because the interior was a shocker (main thing) and i didn't like the back of it. The only thing that puts me off a Supra RZ is the interior. The JZ series engines are awesome.

Though Supra RZ vs (any) GT-R is a tougher decision IMO.

Yeah, I would take an RZ over a 34 GTT any day. Although the 34 is newer, it reminds me too much of a 33 (very upright driving position), whereas the Supra 'feels' like a sports car, while at the same time, being a road rocket.

Good choice.

    • Yes, but it's not as easy as pulling a fuse on anything other than an R32. There's a routine you have to do, involving disconnecting a loom plug and bleeding down the preload.
    • A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible
    • Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.  
    • I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...
    • Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years
