Answer 2

Hello, everyone starts out somewhere at one point, right? No need to be ashamed.



Of course there's all types of engines and chassis.



Toyota Supra MKIV uses the 2JZ motor, and the Skyline BNR34 GT-R uses a RB26DETT.



They are both Inline 6 motors (I6), in which the piston configuration of the car is a straight block. It's not a V shaped like a V6, hence the V in the name. Also, since they're both Japanese cars, they have different specifications in Japan and in the United States because of different safety and emission laws.



Usually, but not always, the Japanese version of the motor (JDM) is stronger just slightly, because of less strict emission and car laws.



Imports (Japanese) are indeed great street racing cars because of the wide variety of parts for the car.



A tuner and ricer are two different things, but many people get these two mixed up.



A tuner is a person who tunes imports for whats inside the engine and the suspension. They tune the engine and put in different parts to see how it effects the performance. They also tune the suspension so make sure it's right for the street or track. (Camber, Toe, Stiffness etc)



A ricer is the opposite, in which they basically add unnecessary body-kits and rims that do not affect the performance of the car in anyway. It is basically for looks and usually they dont know what they're doing.

Answer 3

I don't know anything about the skyline but my best friend is the original owner of a 1980 Supra which has dual turbos. You can't make it any faster. You can no longer buy them in the United States due to smog control laws. My advice is, don't drive an old car and try to make it faster. You'll just waster your money. Plenty of us tried that in the 1950's. Save your money. Buy new. You can have more speed than you can handle for under $30,000. The most important thing you can do is get your education, save money, get a good job and buy whatever new car you want.
