fessen Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 From doing some quotes, the supra insurance is cheaper than the skyline. It's all swings and roundabouts, they are both top cars, however i cannot split it. This may be a stupid suggestion/comment, but off the top of my head, does the supra have less to go wrong than the skyline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a sandwich. Only then, will you be allowed to come back to help you decide which colour Supe to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll explain the situation, theres a cracker of a supra black one being sold, and waiting on the sellers reply, we could have a deal. But then there are skylines lingering about that could be worth a tipple. Supra wise, it'd have to be a Silver or Black. Then sprayed Orange.

Multics Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I used to have a Supra NA and since I part exchanged it for an R33 GTS-T to be honest I haven't looked back. Sure the Supra was only an NA but I wouldn't say that the build quality was better. I wouldn't say either that the build quality is better on the GTR than on the GTS-T. The GTS-T is a very fun car to drive, faster and more nible than the Supra NA. Engine wise it has quite a potential without the headaches and costs associated with its bigger brother RB26DETT. Mine runs about 320bhp and it's 300kg lighter than the Supra TT. The RB25DET engine is very reliable and can take upto 450bhp on stock internals (different turbo and associated mods). GTR's are different, the have the ATTESSA system and the RB26DETT, the rest is pretty much the same. The suspsension is different as well but nothing than can't be improved on the GTS-T. If I had to choose between a stock Supra TT or a stock Skyline GTS-T I would go for the Supra. However if I had to chose for a stock Supra TT or a stock R33 GTR it would be the GTR.

chris2o2 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Apart from the R34 GTR and possibly a nice R32 GTR its Supra everytime for me . Looks wise only the R34 is close to the Supra. All imo of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 If your only option is a Supra NA, it'd have to be a skyline GTR (any of them) if you want a fairly quick car. The Supra NA looks nicer, but the performance (or lack of it) gets boring very quickly. Insurance is always a killer with Skylines, even at my age they are more than 3 times more to insure. madness. What cars do you have experience of owning before (this is not a dig, just trying to see if you're making a big step up in terms of power or from FWD to RWD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbloodyturbo Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I like the GTR's but the inside looks shockingly boring and drab. I don't fancy the cost of parts for them either:blink: I also would never get a GTS-t over a TT supra, the supra is far more attractive and seemed to have a lot more balls whereas the gts needed winding up to get some pace out of it, a lot more pleasurable to drive day to day I would say IMHO.

creative Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 having had a supra NA and now an r33 gtst I would go for the skyline. Loved the look of the supra but i found it to be very tame compared to the skyline. If a TT supra isnt on the cards it would have to be the skyline over the NA everytime.
