D1NZ Quest motorsport Supra - TRD version

[IH8TEC]

who cares mate, thats a circuit car where handling is everything. its not gonna make sweet f all difference anyway. another thing is he'd want more torque so he doesnt' need to rev the tits off it like a crap rotary.

nothing wrong with trying something new. instead of jumping on the bandwagon to get a rotor au

Top Secret's is based on the JGTC car. The real JGTC car is far more hard out with a lot more carbon fiber in the engine bay.

Pretty sure the car you're thinking of raced in GT300, the swap to 3SG wasn't for weight purposes at all. The GT500 class I think used the 2JZ.

True that, The 3s was only put in so they could enter the GT300 class.
will be good to finally see a big hp Toyota out there

Castrol Tom's Supra GT500 Class. Using 3S-GTE

niteb's 86 has a beams 3SGE in it. goes hard by all accounts.

i thought the GT500 supras were using V8's.

the bodykit / decals etc is about raising the profile of the sport and the driver. if you really think an 8k car can foot it at the top levels of drifting in this country, (just import a fuct batty, chuck some knock-off adjusties and a locker in it she'll do mean skids au!) then you need to take a closer look at the cars the top drivers are pedalling.

^^ my god that engine bay is a work of art!!!

The blue ESSO Supra uses a 1UZ.

I prefered the name JGTC, but now its called 'Super GT', because it also goes to the US, which is cool, but I still like JGTC better!

Do they broadcast it here at all? Like on Sky? Its awesome to watch.

Stroked 3UZ-FE (4.3L ===> 4.5L)

That engine bay is artwork I wonder what sought of cost those worked 3S motors were worth back in the day.I saw some youtube footage of a JGTC Supra doing a 9.8 sec.1/4 mile in 1997 unreal torque those motors make for a 2 litre.

thats exactly it, we had fangas s15 in at work on friday, and if u have a look in the nzpc mag ull notice all the stationary pics are off the passenger side this is cuz the just behind the drivers door u can see heaps of ripples also why he rivetd on the widebody kit haha but hes still got the goodies handling and power wise

i askd sam about the rest of the d1 cars about legality and most of them have certs and could get wofs, he also sed fangas car one of the worst haha

You don't usually see real race cars on the road(barring rally cars going to/from events sometimes)... and it just seems like one hell of a limitation when it needn't be, the man says they have a tow car and trailer.

Rally cars have to be road registered as they are required to do touring stages on public roads. Some, including myself at one stage, were forced to drive to events given lack of a suitable trailer. It severely limits the amount of spares you can carry. In the end it also limits how fast you are as you know that you cant bin it as you have yet to drive it home.
If I owned a drift car, which I never will, (although I'm keen on getting the offroader out to show them how its done) it wouldnt be a road registered car. In my opinion the only advantage in road registering it would be to take it out Friday nights to show off to the girlies... and I'm married.

GT500 3s - smaller engine , better weight distribution - higher boost for similar power = win .. ( and it did - multiple times ! )

the engines in the supra gt500 and gt300 have nothing in common with the 3sgte's you get in road going cars, they share nothing in common with the 3s family. not even the block or head is the same.

I preferred it when it was JTCC and there were R32's, RS500's, EF Civics, AE92 Levins and other cool machinery blatting round.

AFAIK too, GT300 class cars run NA engines... (at least, from the time the 3SGTE GT500 class Supra's were running).
