:doh: Don't change it....I like your current avatar of a 2JZ in something other than a Supra better. :rolleyes:

Yeah, I’m sure they do in the U.S., but I thought Toyota held that trademark for their TRD division for the Supra dubbed “TRD 3000GT.” It wasn’t a standalone model, but rather an “evolution” of the base model name Supra with every TRD part on it. So, it was the “Supra TRD 3000GT”...never...

VANOS gear and timing chain now on the back of the B58 motor!?!?! :hmm:

I never “pushed” anything as facts that I came up on my own....the only facts I pushed were those actually quoted in reputable publications....in which I provided proof of. However, if people “assumed” I was pushing or saying things I actually didn’t say, then there isn’t much I can do about...

Lmao! I’m glad i got my message across ;-) I like how you switch back and forth between era’s to try and make your point sound legit. I mean yeah, who cares that the 300ZX sold for $60k during their prime sales, when other cars were in the $40k-$50k range. Again, not a Nissan fanboy....just...

I'll leave you to this....watch it a few times and learn why the 300ZX was the automotive sex symbol of the 90's, and why it outsold almost every Japanese sportscar of it's time:

Don't put words in my mouth Captain_Cock! I never said the Supra was ugly....the only thing remotely close to that was my comment that compared to all the 90's Japanese cars, it was the "ugly duckling". When compared to a series of beautiful cars of their era, yes the Supra was the least...

It’s the drivetrain, it always has been and it always will be with the MKIV Supra’s! The cars you mentioned above never came with factory GTE motors, bulletproof V160’s, huge rear diffs with LSD’s, and massive brakes all of which can perform at 1000hp and more. If those cars did, I guarantee...

Bad example.

It’s a drastic improvement in terms of smoothness and efficiency....but I believe from what I’ve read on BMW forums, the B58 won’t be as durable due to it’s modular design. There was a good post on one of the BMW forums that had N54, N55, and B58 rods and pistons next to each other. It was...

Lmao! I was actually watching that Simpsons episode last weekend...haha.

Oh...and just for the record, when I say I am not a Nissan fanboy, I mean it: http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?1093769-91-300ZX-2JZX-Build Yes, that is my 1991 300ZX 2JZ project. So you see, I could careless what badge a car wears, or how big of a spoiler it has....if it's...

The last several posts took a sharp dive....all because of the subject of comparing a MKIV to the FT-1. We don’t even have concrete info on the FT-1 and look at how defensive MKIV owners got....your telling me if Toyota calls the FT-1 a “Supra” they won’t be shooting themselves in the foot? I...

Troll what you dodo? It’s an FT-1 forum! I could give two shits about you or your Supra! Your just being to sensitive because no one has ever told you the truth about your car. As for the 300ZX being dated, I could care less. 10yrs from now when your swapping Tacoma transmissions and Lexus...

People didn’t give a shit about the 300ZX because everyone wants a MKIV Supra....that's no secret...not because its a beautiful car, because it’s a capable car. Don’t think for a second this is only comparing a MKIV Supra to a 300ZX....this is the case with a MKIV to any other...

You don't need to be a Nissan fanboy or, Mazda fanboy, or Honda fanboy, or a NASA engineer, or etc... to know that the MKIV Supra was the ugly duckling of the 90's Japanese sports cars. Read the paragraph starting with "But some aspects of the body shape simply fall flat." (Road&Track March...

The MKIV Supra is not a pretty car, it really isn’t. Timeless design??? The RX-7, NSX, and 300ZX are pretty cars with timeless designs....the MKIV Supra isn’t. It's f@#king fast...yes....pretty?...no! This has been mentioned time and time again in publications. Does it make it a bad car? No...

That’s the hottest fat ugly chick I have seen in a while come outta Japan. Nissan openly stated that the R35’s design was more function over form....its even written in their sales literature. Besides, the facial expressions of those NSX owners (and other super car owners) when they get thier...

See, you even acknowledged it....the one factor that everyone is wanting to find out, “will it be as capable” as the MKIV? You know damn well the answer to that, but you refuse to accept it, and revert back to “Toyota doesn’t care about that, they want it to outperform the MKIV in stock trim”...
