Been thinking hard for a while now on deciding what to get for my next car..
I'm currently driving a 95 NA Supra, and even though its nice for my first car, it's time to upgrade! laugh.gif

I've brought it down to a few choices include a S15 turbo, R33 GTS-T SII, and some others..

Anyway, my question is, I'm currently leaning towards a R32 GTR because they're getting kinda cheap here. But I'm worried about the gas consumption because I've heard from a few friends who spent literally $200+ each week on petrol, and thats driving normally! sad.gif

Does anyone here own or have owned a 32 GTR, and how was it? How was the gas millage? etcetc

Its a car for those that can afford it

If thats something you're worried about then get something else

PS. with a friends 800 HP GTR we've been able to get 25 mpg... I'm never driving that slow again dry.gif

How much slower do you have to drive so the turbo doesn't kick in? I've never owned a turbo car before so yeh.. sweatingbullets.gif

also the g can already run mid 13s stock and the hks intakes adds an estimated 10 extra hp and the exhausts add like 8 so yeah it should shove off about 1.5 to 2 sec off my times

so if you're friend was trying to do the speed limit it would take that long to reach?

on another note, i would aim to get an s15. just b/c the GT-R has feature called the attessa, doesn't mean the GT-R is the greatest.

1.) skylines are heavy where as silvias are not.
2.) awd equals sapping enjoyable horsepower
3.) sr20det block can be just near as sturdy (where are going to with 800+ horsepower anyway)
4.) s15 doesn't have understeer like a R32
5.) s15 newer than an older R32 (which translates to: dig yourself into a deeper money-pit, unless money is no consequence to you)

BTW, just a question about my current car.

Are N/A Supras to feel kinda slow? I mean its probably because supras are damn heavy, or maybe because i have hard suspension w/e, but it feels kinda slow inside.. I guess i can't expect much from a na soop.

P:W ratio...even if you were to build an n/a motor (which has the best throttle response), you are spending more money to gain an extra 5 horsepower. doesnt make sense.

What car(s) do you recommend besides the 32 GTR? (unless the gas consumption isn't too bad, i'll most likely go with this choice)

I'm obviously looking to get a turbo car, and something I can have a little fun with modifications wise, nothing too big of course but will be looking to do some minor things to it. Gas millage is an option to consider too.. something along the 25k mark max smile.gif

EDIT: If I liked hatchbacks I prob would have gone with a GTI-R. My friends bro had one and damn it was fast o_0
I hear they're faster than 180sx's with sr20dets? Why is that? I konw they both have sr20dets ?

umm if you can read, he said he is getting a turbo vehicle. He never said anything about building his na supra.

they are really slow in n/a form. i see a few at sac raceway every weekend and they have a hard time breaking 15's in the 1/4 miles.

what you can do is turbocharge your n/a supra. theres a lcoal shop that turbocharged their sc300 (same motor) and they were able to put down 600+rwhp on a stock block.

i apologize for not making my post anymore clear than it was. to the question, yes, n/a supras are slow. for the simple minded fools who cant comprehend why i went into detail about people making decisions to choose a hard route to tune a heavy piece of machinery that doesnt pull the torque like it's turbo-charged counterpart. i was merely trying to explain to him why his n/a is slower than a regular supra tt. (key words in the first sentence: p/w ratio was the answer) never did he or i say he IS going to build his n/a supra.

thinking & reading > you

if you really want to save some money:
1.) get an engine, rebuild, install and sell the old engine.
-or-
2.) do what boost suggested

stock turbo'd 2jz blocks are stronger than the rb26, but that's only if you can do without your supra.

GTI-R is an awd SR20DET with a T28 iirc. Keep the stock turbo and get ITBs! yaaaaay! But if you are worried about gas consumption you should probably get something more economical.

Also i think this should be in the "What car should I get" thread.
