i am gutted but ive seen pod and done 4 or 5 runs, some road work aswell saw of an r1 right past its top speed, i admit ive had nowhere near as much life out of it as id hoped for but ive had some.

I have worked alongside afr tunning for some time and know all the lads well and believe me when these supras are up there in the power theyre always falling apart!!
Jons (supra dude) has been apart more times that i no and it always the big ends going..he is on his 5th bottom end and thats just a drag car..
The 750 hp mark is about the safest limit imo and in thiers..
Hope you get it all sorted mate..good luck
cheers danny
im not admiting defeat yet, the only thing swaying me is if 2jzs arent any more reliable than an rb26 then a 1000 hp gtr might be on the cards as i do love the 4x4, if i had the supra power in a gtr it would be epic 0 - 100 mph, especially on a sequential box that i can get for £6500.

hes on a 3.0 though, and it does make sense as the longer stroke has to put more load on the bottom end it is innevetable.
Gutted to hear this though pal, what would it be worth in bits? Would it be worth breaking it and shoving it into the GTR? I know it's kind of a step back to what you had, but it's an option!
i think around £20k+ but its all a guess, some good money there though the shell has to worth quit a bit just the kit and body mods cost over £7k ! and then it had a full respray ontop of that !

seriously gutted for you mate, you must be over 30k all in now? what would you get for it broken for parts as it is?
when you first posted about getting the car, i wasnt sure it was a good move because of TDI
i paid my money and took my chance, living as dream is never cheap
real tears lol

Any high power motor will have issues at some point no matter what anyone says.
i may build it myself, i just wana get my head in there and take a look then go from there. theres lots of brank repair people ive seen online so gotta be worth a go, after what some comments have said here i may just go 3.0 if the whole bottom end is junk.
