Undecided- which 1

[slyline]

Hi all,

I need your help. My mind is split on deciding which car to do up. I have a 94' R33 gtst and a 96' Supra (t-turbo, 6 speed, inline 6)

The skyline is predominantly stock but the supra has had little work done.

I want to choose a car to do up fully engine wise and mild body work......i mean eeeevverything. The other car will be daily driven.

questions,

1. Which car will have more potential once modified?

2. Which car is cheaper to do UP?

3. Ease of availabilty of parts standard and aftermarket?

4. Which car will have more rwkw with the same mods?

You may be wondering what mods i will be doing, check back next time once i have finalised the works with my engineer.

1. both have unlimited potential depends how deep your pockets are

2. supra, they have bullet proof bottom ends which means u can go further before needing to touch

3. both the same, supra has a huge US following whilst the r33 has a followiung in australia, both have massive japanese followings as well

4. tough call, different engines, different weights, supra has 2 turbos stock etc......supra will go better cheaper

2jz shits all over the rb25.

Plus the 6 Speed supra box is awesome.

Supra will be a far better BOMBED car.

Supra Vid

70 MB american supra vid, well worth the d/l. might give you a few ideas, T51R-SPL?? or mabye a nice twin kit??

Why do people compare the TT SP Supras to the GTST Skylines? They're not really in the same league, nor were they ever intented to be. Even stock for stock, a TT 6SP Supra would simply kill a GTST. No question.

I'm pretty certain the Supra engine has considerably more modding capabilities than the Gtst.

How abt selling both and buying an r34 GTR?

and perhaps a 1991 mazda 323 as a daily.

You have to be pretty specific though...do u want just a fast street car? a drag car? a track car?

[usuckpoo]

To some extent doing up the gtst might be easier due to availability of 2nd hand parts...

supra would prob cost more in terms of money or effort

[gun32gtr]

i think the supra as like every one said it has alot more avaliable power without any major internal mods?but just how much u will spent is the answer!

Supra all the way. One of the best 6 cylinder engines to come out of japan.

[TracidTrax]

dude if u want power go witht he 2JZ for sure, id take the supra TT over the gtst anyday without a doubt, though if u had a GTR it would be a different story altogether

anywayz dude, ur lucky for having 2 very respectful Jap imports and imo use the r33 as ur daily driver and RZ as ur weekend thrasher

This will be a long term project for me and i can have deep pockets if an when needed.

If i do decide to mod the gtst i will be dropping an RB26DETT, possibly ditch the twin turbos and go for one large baby. Then carry on with further planned mods. So in actual fact we are able to compare them. Both may have twin or single turbos and there both 6 cycls.

If i win again another day I'd mod them both.....................***if and when....I think i'm dreaming***

Guess what........If my girlfriend comes back with a positive result, i will be doing just that, buying a SP23 but not a GTR.

I want a fast every thing street, drag and track!

Depends on how far you want to go with mods my mate is a supra TT with similar mods to my gtst and I expected to get flogged but it was quiet the opisite. He has more RWKW than my but dont be fooled they are a lot heavier car. The line kills it but if you want to go all out the supra may go harder for less. Supra has a better engine and will handel more power in stock form but the Skyline is a lighter car and still has a great engine. Personally id go the skyline.

This is a no brainer. Supra > Gts-t.

It will shit on it. You own both cars. Don't you notice the superiority of the Supra? I have a 240rwkw R33 Gts-t and yeh it's great but I'd swap it for a TT Supra any day. Possibly even a stock one if it was is good condition.

Post this on a Toyota forum (www.toymods.org.au) and see what answers you get. 99% will laugh at the question.

[**JaR**]

if anything the supra tt rz should be compared to a gtr, not a gts-t

[jas/slo32]

go r32 gtr awd lighter than both supra and r33 and all parts are available

r32gtr the ultimate street/race car

i went gtst with 10in wide slicks
