Very nice cars, all of you. Lovin' those R33s!!!

The 446Rs are definitely the right wheels for your bro's R33 Benzo... time to dump those 449s.

Wow...I'm loving that real r33 gt-r v-spec (a true godzilla) and that supra is badazz. I had a 97 bpu+++ supra a long time ago.

Marcus- I assume you are running a single turbo. What kind of setup do you have in the supra?

Benzoboi- your bro did a very nice job on that prelude

AlexWS6- Hahaha sorry buddy but I plan on keepin my baby

SunnyE55- I'm sure you knew this but it really is a GT-R and not a prelude. That was a lil sarcasm because everytime I post in other forums everyone starts hatin and they are like oh it's jus a prelude with a skyline bodykit...So jus to clarify

Sure on the photo shoot, the car should be out of the shop within a couple weeks. Its getting an OS Giken X Mission thats been de-burred, shotpeened and cryo-treated. Should be pretty beefy. Also having a basic roll cage and Takata MPH-340 Harness installed as the car is scary fast for the streets and I wanted some extra piece of mind...just in case. Will let you know when shes ready.

I've never actually taken the Supra to the drag strip, but people with similar setups have run low 10s/high 9s... my E55 is a mid/high 12 second car as of right now.

Benzo-I gotcha! It was a bit confusing for me, wasn't sure what to say or believe. I am glad its the real thing. I have seen quite a great deal of honda's and nissan's trying to pull it off as a gt-r with their custom gt-r body kits (r33's and r34's). It is a very beautiful machine and so is ur e55!

Marcus- Thanks. Very interesting to read. Very impressive, especially your dyno. You actually get some good power before boost (5000 rpm) huh? I have seen a bunch of single turbo supras that get no power before 5500 rpm and spike like crazy after 5500. Did you do all the work yourself?
