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

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.

Regards,

Andrew

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***

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?

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.

    • I'll just leave this with, holy shit, those cars at work are awesome, and this will look wicked!
    • Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...
    • Do you have any before and after photos? That's $200 just for the hydro blasting?
    • Yea pedal box and no abs
    • It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
