Wow, many things changed on the Supra! But still the same transmission, i'm disappointed. jk man you're doing great with it. When we will finish our project cars we will do a trip to some states, we might come check out this beast.

Jake, the guy in town with another R33, let me borrow a new front lip he's going to put onto his car. It's a newer Nismo piece, unlike the 400R replica currently on my car.

He already painted it, and his car is a slightly different color than mine (Super Clear Red instead of Nismo Red), so the paint doesn't quite match on it. I'm tempted to get one of my own, but I like the intercooler vents in the 400R one, which I think I'd miss if I didn't have them.

What do you all think?

Current 400R

Newer Nismo (R-Tune?)

Nismo one looks way more clean.

I'm Liking the 400R a bit more But it's your car man! You do You!

i've got an R34 that would go really well with your R33. it's got 1100hp at the crank, it's dark red with Z-tune fenders, back bumper, and side skirts. it also has a genuine NISMO front bumper (i'll see if i can get my own RP going). it's a fun car. 0-60 in 2.7 seconds, 1/4mile in 9.2 seconds (on a prepped race track of course).

Nice rides ! Try some white rims on the R33 and a darker red paint, would look nice i guess !

Funny you should say that! I might be lining something up. Not gonna be another Japanese car, though, probably

I smell a european car

I bet it'll be a Mustang or Crossfire.

What have I won?

# Facepalm : Perhaaaaaps something like a Crossfire?

# Supremen96 : I bet it'll be a Mustang or Crossfire.

# KeeJay : Xfire for sure ;)

BY POPULAR DEMAND.

(Psych! You thought I had bought the car already, didn't you?)

Chrysler Crossfire SE Roadster

Year: 2007
Miles: 82,000
Engine: Mercedes-Benz M112
- V6 SOHC 18V naturally aspirated
- Power: 215 HP @ 5700 RPM (factory indicated @ crank)
- Torque: 230 lb-ft @ 3000 RPM (factory indicated @ crank)
Transmission: Chrysler NSG370 6-speed manual
Color: Blaze Red Metallic exterior / black cloth interior
Condition: Good (let's hope it stays that way)
List of options: BONE STOCK.

I went and purchased this for V$9000 even from a private seller. (price references: 1, 2)



This is the SE trim level, which is a very slightly improved base model, but which is technically "worse" than the Limited.

I specifically sought out this model, though, because of a few things:
- The SE only comes in red - the Limited comes in red too, but...
- As a variant of the base model, it only comes with a manual - which is available (if sometimes hard to find) on a Limited too, but...
- The SE, unlike the Limited and SRT-6, has cloth interior instead of leather, which will be nice in the hot summer months; and
- ...unlike the base model, it comes in a color other than black!
- It also has rims like on the SRT-6, which is nice too. (It would technically have black-accented spokes IRL, but I couldn't be bothered to do that.)
- It does NOT have fog lights, though, which I kind of want and may install myself.



I got this because I wanted something with less than 300 horsepower as a slightly milder car for driving around in nice weather. I wonder how long it will stay that way? Maybe this will quickly end up being my third 600HP+ six-cylinder car painted red. Who knows?

(Can't be a daily because, lol, two seats and no room for groceries anywhere. Grocery shopping would literally be easier in either the Skyline or Supra, massive horsepower aside.)

The SRT-6 version is more powerful, but it's also rarer and more expensive, and I felt like that would have been too much of a collector's item for me. Meanwhile, the coupe doesn't come in SE trim, which means that either it's black or has leather interior or both. Weather in Arizona is nice for most of the year, so why not a convertible?

(Well, yes - crash safety, rollover protection, and rigidity are all good reasons to have gone for a coupe. Whatever. )

Some pics once I got it back to take a closer look at it, and after I changed the oil.




What do you all think?

Another thing I forgot to mention: The car has the red plate on it because I transferred the plate from another car. That plate has been on at least three of my cars already so far (Accord coupe, S14, a previous daily I didn't mention before).

# Phonexius : Hmmm interesting toy you got there mate, reminds me of an SLK Merc xD, good luck whit it, it was a great idea not to take a car whit leather seats :D

Thanks! I hope it works out, too. It probably reminds you of an SLK because it basically is one with a different body, by the way

# Phonexius : Also what happened to that 6 speed manual for the supra :D

I haven't installed it yet. I'm thinking I may in fact keep the auto, or switch to the A760E 6-speed automatic from newer Lexus models, just because the automatic is nicer for drag racing once some new shift logic is installed. I may even put paddle shifters in. Still deciding; haven't done any conversion work yet.

# rOtary : Nice rides ! Try some white rims on the R33 and a darker red paint, would look nice i guess !

Hmm...
Nah. I like it the way it is, and I've already repainted the car once. Thanks for your input, though!

Damn nice plans for the Supra, gotta stay tuned, btw how bout we do a friendly drag race whit our R33's in 5 months, looser buys the winner 10 galos of fuel

I've heard about an Skyline race,can a +1000Hp R32 join?(if i finish my car at time)lol

Impressive Skylines.

I remember that R34, it looks much more aggressive than last year! And your R33 looks amazing next to it, even if it has a bit more subtle style and engine setup.

Is that the same guy that complimented my old R32, damn time flies, sadly I won't have time till February to get to Phoenix to meet your 33 with mine 33
