When building my Supra, I wanted to evoke the essence of something a bit different than the usual JDM, stance, track, or drag setups. I wanted to bring back some of the aesthetics of yesteryear, such as classic Porsche 911's, early BMW M and Alpina cars, grand touring Ferrari's (GTB models), and...
Coilovers with adjustable ride height will get you there.
Here's some of the most handling focused coilover options out there:
Ohlins Road & Track
KW V3 (Front: 0.6-1.4", Rear: 0.8-1.6") or DDC (Pairs with factory dampening control in Sport mode, same lowering range)
JRZ Coilovers
For comfort...
Really hope a part number or replica (paging @Rexpeed ) comes out for the A91-CF kit.
Love the rear spats/winglets, that's the part I'd want to order the most:
Really adds some length and presence to the rear end - tbh would be even happier if the replicas had an option for the matching satin...
Official page for the HKS Metal Catalyzer is up:
https://www.hks-power.co.jp/en/product_db/exhaust/db/31541
The HKS catalyzer has 150 cells compared to the stock catalyzer‘s 600 cells, resulting in a 40% lower exhaust pressure.
Gain an approx. 13PS advantage by just replacing catalyzer...
Actually the "Chief Product Specialist" of the Z, Hiroshi Tamura, mentioned the Supra multiple times when discussing the development of the Z over the past few years.
"If Supra is 4 seconds, we’re probably 4 seconds. We are heavier than them, with slightly bigger power. So I think it should be...
Now let's talk about Jason Cammisa's own criticisms of the Z after driving it for some time during filming this drag race video:
Quotes and paraphrases of some of his takes from the post and comments:
Lot of comments about the likelihood of spinning (New car show crowdkiller to beat the...
Welp. What we all expected :cool::
So much for Supra killer.
2022 Toyota GR Supra 3.0 0-60 mph = 3.8 sec 1/4 mile = 12.1 sec @ 117 mph
2023 Nissan Z (Performance package) (automatic) 0-60 mph = 4.0 sec 1/4 mile = 12.3 sec @ 116 mph
2023 Nissan Z (Performance package) (6MT) 0-60 mph = 4.3 sec...
Someone installed the OEM Cayman GT4 wing on the Supra actually:
To be honest, the closest currently on the market would be the Voltex Type 12.5 SPL wing, the Verus UCW Rear Wing, or the Levella x Mansory Wing. All three have wide-set wing supports, and the Voltex and Levella wings have...
150 cell is a bit of a bummer for 2021+ folks who can’t tune it out. I believe 400 cells is the magic number for no CEL (Active Autowerke, AMS, etc).
After nearly 2 years it’s good to see an update on the Carbon Strut Braces (and hopefully cabin brace) at the end of the video…
Probably any comfort-oriented seat with less aggressive bolsters:
Recaro Cross Sportster CS
Recaro Ergomed/Orthoped/Expert
Sparco GT
Bride Euroster
Bride Streams
Or look into some BMW OEM used seats that could maybe work, like from a 4 series or something.
Also try changing out the bar behind...
That's a replica of the M'z Speed Prussian Blue front lip and body kit, couple of rep brands floating around, here's the original:
Kies Motorsports also sells that replica kit:
You can probably also track down the supplier of the replicas from China somehow.
New camber plate option from Millway Motorsport, Made in Sweden. Pretty popular in the BMW world, can read some reviews in the Bimmerpost forums on the M2, M3, M4 etc.
Coolest thing is they have a Street version which uses Polyurethane Bushings, which allows for less NVH and clunking during...
