Bodykits are redundant on a Skyline, IMO. Keep the body clean.

I know what you mean drewb, I normally think people who customise the body of skylines are heathen, but I really like the Do-Luck products.

HEY ALL. I RECENTLY BOUGHT A SUPRA, ITS A 98 MOD, NOT MUCH DONE ON IT. DOESNT HAVE A TURBO EITHER. I WANT TO MOD IT UP A BIT. CAN ANYONE GIVE ME ANY IDEAS? WOULD IT BE OKAY TO PUT A TURBO KIT? WHICH ONE?

you can put a turbo on a non turbo Supra.

(or buy a 2JZ GTE engine)

for parts just look for it

http://www.greddy.com

http://www.blitz-na.com

http://www.stillen.com

and so on...

just take a look and you will know what you probably can do and what not...

if you got more questions just ask.

there's a lot you can get for the Supra

The Supra - yes you can turbo the NA Supra. A friend from Wales has done it to his (as well as adding N20).

Neon - Yep, hooks up to the battery.

The Jap spec Supra engine responds the best by far to modifications. While tuning a USDM or Uk spec Supra can still turn out some crazy numbers, it will cost a lot more to get there. Basically, put an exhaust on a Jap spec Supra, and youll get more power freed than if you put it on the others. :)

Grez, about those spinning rims I asked on the other topic...

Actually I only wanted to know what spinning rims are available in Europe, besides OXIGIN Spinstar, because it's the only one I heard of.

I still don't know what car I'll buy though. About the rims dimension, I think 17"s would be best.

JD - There are loads mate, when I find a good link, Ill pm you or Ill put it here :)

Sparco - There are pulse neon LEDs as pszeta said. basically, lots of little lights which create a rainbow effect. There are cheap ones which look crap, and expensive ones which still look crap, but look better than the cheap ones :lol:

Hot sauce - The Preludes are great cars, as are the civics. However, if I was forced to choose, Id go with a civic hatch, and drop the H22 prelude engine in it. I know a guy who runs mid to low 14s with that and an aftermarket ECU, plus induction/exhaust. Not bad for the price. H22s can be found at breakers yards etc, or try searching on google. :D

Grez - do many manufacturers offer LED rear lights for modern cars? Or are they still semi-legal?

LED as in the afterburners?

Not sure about the legality of them, although as there is no visible indicator I would assume they are not E marked. That said, there are quite a few cars round here still driving with them on. As far as rear lights go, I actually like them.

No problem hot sauce :)

It's legal I think, since the E-Class Avantgarde comes with LED taillights stock. At least in The Netherlands.. The Elegance and Classic version have normal lamps.
