Smellywelshman Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Hey peeps, So.... After rubbing the front end of my car against a wall I'm getting a bit of a 'wanna change' itch. But I've got a dilemma.... I own an N/A which I REALLY trust mechanical wise. Its as mint except for a couple of sortable interior matters, but I'm thinking I want the power of a turbo. Especially as I got burnt by a 350Z whilst taking my girlfriend to the train station:(!! Surely no Nissan should be able to do this!!! (They're a bit tasty I know but they look like shite and....... its a nissan!!!;)) So I'm depressed. What do I do? Just sell up and buy a TT, posibly getting a car thats not as sound as the car I've got now. Or stick with the one I've got and take it to somewhere like Envy and get it sorted. I know the TT engine is a different beast to the N/A but it should be able to take it, shouldn't it?! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 My first question would be 'How hard did you hit the wall ' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smellywelshman Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 My first question would be 'How hard did you hit the wall ' Ever so gently my friend!........ Well ish. It'll be sorted this week! Promise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3upra Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 If you dont mind parting with your present car,then sell and buy a TT,cheaper than converting an N/A,more reliable,and cheaper/ easier to fix(than a bolt on turbo kit). Just wait for a good TT-you won't look back;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smellywelshman Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 Ok so the census so far is to sell up I do like the car I've got. But hey ho. Any ideas on places to scout for good spec TT's? I know the 'for sale' section is usually good, but somewhere that'd take a part-ex would be farking brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3upra Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Ideally sell yours first,p/ex is convenient,but you rarely end up with the car you want-sell yours first-cash is king! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I've gone through the figures with a couple of people considering NA-T conversions and to be honest the figures just do not make it worthwhile. It would save you MANY thousands if you sold up and bought a TT. You at least then have a car which as stock will be 320bhp(ish) and can easily and cheaply be modded to 400bhp. If you're after more power (i.e single) the figures still stack up in favour of getting the TT then converting (or better yet, get a trusted one thats already converted). I'm not trying to disrepect the NA owners, it's just simply a matter of adding up the figures to get an NA-T like-for-like with a TT.

Smellywelshman Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 This is going the way I thought it would! It makes more sense to by a TT (just feel loyal cos its my first supra!) There was a member who was selling Supras, would rather buy from someone off of the web site! Can anyone point me in the right direction?!

juanchan Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 You'd be after Jurgen or Paul Whiffin from the sounds of things. They've sold one or two Supras on here before now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

couv3z Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 why not have a TT engine dropped in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 why not have a TT engine dropped in? If you really like your car and would like to keep it, have a word with Jezzybabes on here and get a price from him. Last time I heard it was about £3k to drive in as a NA and drive out as a TT, or £2k for all the bits you need to do it yourself. He comes highly reccomended by the peeps on here who have had this done, or have bought the bits to do it. Have a search and you will find a thread from Jezz with all the details.

Should be a really good way to go and its a cracking price. There is a good thread Jezz started about this so have a search or give him a call:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
