350z or Supra

[tgm99x]

Hey guys im in the market for a 03-05 350z or a 93+supra. The proble is I just cant decide on which one.

350z
Goods: The 350z is an amazing car on the market and has alot of great stuff to offer like A 280HP (300HP for the rev-up version) VQ35DE. the enigne is very powerfull stock and there are a decent amount of aftermarket parts out there like the APS TT and more. The body styling is pretty good looking and has a look like no other(besides g35). there newer, they will have about 20k to about 50k for the ones that are in my price range($20,000) which means it will be very depedbable which is good for a daily driver.
Bads: Only 2 seats! in my case thats a problem cause this will be my daily driver and will be my only car for a wile so i will probaly need to hold more than 1 extra person. alot of the twin turbo kits out there are under powerd and are over rated for there price like Greddy TT. Also the fact that they might not hold there value like the supras have, look at the 300zx. those were supra's competition and now you can get them for $12k or lower wile supras are about 20k at the lowest.

Supra
Goods: (I dont want the non- TT.) Is conciderd one of the greatist import sports cars ever sold in the US. Its got lots of potential and it already has a good amount of stock power. Very rare, and there resale value has gone up and will probaly keep going up. They have back seats even though they are a tight fit at least they are there. So many diffrent aftermarket parts are out there for it. Targa tops are the coolest ever!
Bads: they are older, they have higher mileage so therefor they are less depedable. weight, the MKIV is heavier than the 350. The price is hard to find a TT for under $30k. hard to find especialy a good priced one.

so if you could tell me your opinion and what you guys think i should go with then that would be really apriciated. Or any info you could give to help me make my decision

BTW if i get the 350z i will twin turbo it with probaly APS TT

thanks,
Tyler

Supra.

[OneSlow5pt0]

is this a Joke?

supra hands down

[MulattoBoi]

Supra with out a doubt 350z's are gay in my opinion, but I drive a neon sooo....

[Ch0ng!]

Supras weigh mroe than 350z smart pants.


get a supra TT.... if you cant get one.. dont waste your time. shoot yourself.

[OneSlow5pt0]

yea i dont like 350s,ether but i drive a celica(worse than the neon)

but if it was me and i had anuff to buys these cars,id take a FD or C5

[Nemesis]

Hope you have deep pockets for repairs and maintence.

[tony]

350Z Twin Turbo.. you'll like the tq. APS TT overrated? Drive one before you say that, it was by far the best mod I ever did and well worth the money spent.

[iloveboost]

If you don't get a TT Supra, get the 350Z.

NA Supras are p00p.

[MulattoBoi]

Yea I was definetely talking about the TT model I would never buy a non turbo supra!

[Lotte]

Hope you have deep pockets for repairs and maintence.

x2

[SLo_MKIII]

TT supra duh!:slap:

[cactusEG]

super dupra ... TT

[bomjoon]

get you a miata and supercharge/turbo it.

cheap/faster/handles better than both.

[PawnShopCEO]

why not the g35? I bought my second g35 yesterday.

silver with black interior 6 speed with nav. 20" wheels for 21500

[tgm99x]

i dint say that the aps tt was over rated. im talking about all these guys that get like the greddy tt and boost a stock block @ only 6psi. weres the fun in that especialy since you just spent 6k on a turbo kit that is "over rated". now the aps is kick ass.

its just its hard to find a decent supra TT for under 30k when my price range is 20k to 25k

I dont really like the g35 front or the tail lights

ps: miatas are gay

[tgm99x]

im not getting a base supra. that wouldent make since. same price as 350 and less power...

[ChnkyLao]

supra tt if you could find one,

as for a base one, i think you can put a tt if you wanted,(im not sure what im talking about, im a honda person)

[Kevykev]

Judging from your profile: Financial, short/long term needs

Buy and 06 350Z and Keep it bpu.

You need something reliable and moderately quick

Generally 06 350z's will run 13's - 05 350z's will do that BPU.
03-04 are cool but watch the alignment issues.

(Remember when running 13's was the shit???)

We all know about the Supra TT. It's obviously a great choice, but will exceed your budget (money pits).

[JDM onlyy]

supra tt, if no turbo..go with the 350z, they arent that bad. lol

[OneSlow5pt0]

whats wrong with NA supras?

i mean do u really need all the power of the TT?

[tgm99x]

yeah the TT swap is like $10k to $12k and why do that when you could get a original tt for same price maybe less. but i was thinking the same thing fo a wile. but if sombody knows where to get a good swap for cheaper, let me know.

And yeah i need the tt power. the base supras are the same price as the 350z with less power and more miles so that wouldn't make since for what i need. but once you really do some reasearch i think that you relize that the tt is the only way to go.

[OneSlow5pt0]

what bout TT 300zx....i like them more than 350s,their probbly in your price range with good miles,or a TT FD or 3KGT VR4


o,well GL with whatever u find

[R3RUN]

Drop a 2j in a civic and call it a day. LOL.

[OneSlow5pt0]

Drop a 2j in a civic and call it a day. LOL.

hey give me some money and ill do a RWD and 2JZ my Celica:goodjob:

[OUTLAW]

my personal opinon i think the 300zxtt is way better than the 350z

[ranj]

couldn't u buy a non-turbo supra and swap a 2jz engine? cost less if i am not mistaken and you could have low miles on the engine.

[tgm99x]

costs about 10 to 12k for the swap

[Capt._Ron]

ps: miatas are gay

Ha Ha ha i will be the one laughing at you when you try to take you supra/350 anywhere besides a straight road and theres a guy that drives around you on the outside in a 150 whp "gay" miata that he built for 8,000 ha ha ha .

[kpc2593]

Supra all the way....if you can't find one around here, get one transported from Japan..:D..lol

[Driftk1d350z]

i say get a supra...i have a Z and i must say its very hard and costly to get power out of. Its still a great car but the powers not there unless you get a TT and build your engine which can cost anywhere between 9K-25K on top of the price you pay for the car.

The supra already has the power and with a small upgrade you can go even faster.

just my $0.02

[Z32redondo]

Supra...the twin turbo 300zx is faster than the 350 stock for stock. in fact like 2-3 car lengths faster in the 1/4 mile.

[2jz240sx]

350z is a daily car...
supra not so much...

supra-heavy, pricey for a decent one...

im a nissan guy but have the 2jz engine in my 240sx.

i say you either buy the G35 cause they look pimp and put some nice rims and be happy or if you want a race car then get the supra

[phongt12]

Unless you have deep pockets, stay away from the Supra. It's a nice car, but I would never have it as my daily driver. Judging by your profile, insurance won't be cheap, and fixing a TT Supra isn't either. Just get a 350Z and save up money, or get a G35 and keep it stock. (I still don't get why you like a 350Z over a G35's looks, but beats me). :thinking:

[Sport1.3]

Ha Ha ha i will be the one laughing at you when you try to take you supra/350 anywhere besides a straight road and theres a guy that drives around you on the outside in a 150 whp "gay" miata that he built for 8,000 ha ha ha .

My friend Kevin Has competed in the last 2 Grassroots Motorsports Challenges in his 91 miata. He's spend total including the car and everything $1978 and some change. the car has a BP (1.8) swap, custom turbo, custom coil over suspension, racing seats etc. It ran an 11.2 (4th fastest in the drag race) and ran the 2nd quickest Auto x lap, finishing 6th place over all. sounds pretty gay to me :rolleyes:


As far as which of the 2 cars you should choose...i say 350Z if you keep it stock or BPU....you throw relaibility out the window when you get into the TT aftermarket.

[Kyle]

2JZ FTW!

[tgm99x]

it just iv read a couple of articles of Miatas being the gay car, and sure there light and pretty quick. but i just really dont like how small they are and the body styling at all. i said nothing about them being slow i just said there gay IMO.

But the supra has backseats and this wont be a everyday driver, just about half and half cause ill have a truck or suv too

[White Lude]

I would go for the supra. You are right about them being rare. I hardly ever see one and when I do. I take notice. 350s are a dime a dozen and everybody has one. Go for the supra

[zoborax]

Get an R32 GT-R and call it a day. Light, fast, AWD, and will hold its value if you ever have to sell it. Well, so will the supra, but a 350z is a dime a dozen. I've had a supra TT AT and a skyline GTS-T. The skyline was more fun to drive, though not as fast. A GTR is that much better. I will hopefully, be picking up an R32 within a month. Anyways, good luck on your decision.

since when is a skyline light???

their over 3000 pounds

[2micro4u]

IMO
Id say since you want power and room for more than 2 Id say go for an EVO (They hold their value well, quick, within your budget)
IF not id say go for a TT Supra if you can but keep in mind they are expensive to maintain. However if you can get 28K or so would be a good investment.
If not that Id say go for a G35 they dont look bad at all plus you can always change the front grill to something more of your taste. (IMO the G35 would be most practical)
If not any of the above well I guess 350Z

[zoborax]

Okay you got me there..Skylines are not so light. I guess I had Pulsar GTiR on the brain. My bad.

[tgm99x]

ok im a noob on this site so can somebody tell me how to close this thread or does it get cleard on its own or what?
