Dude of course it will make it... Put fuel in it, check your oil, and your water and its all good. There are company execs and sales reps that do that kinda distance ever week.

Niro... you're new mate... its a long standing joke between me and everyone on here. I own a Toyota lexcen but call it a Commodore because it is, they disagree.

to answer ur question anyway, Skyline is better than Supra. Skyline GT-R 'v' Supra = Supra being eaten for breakfast. but Supra's are pretty quick. I'm a Skyline man myself though. l8ters Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

If my crapped out $600 n12 pulsar can do Sydney-Melbourne-Sydney without any problems, I'm sure any 2002 car can. (return trip 7 hrs!! ) Mind you the back was loaded up with water, oil, gaffa tape (lots of it - it holds the rear door on!) and a box of tools. Roadside assistance would go along way in your situation. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hahahhahahaa Yeah i think if u have driven a gtr and supra U would find a supra is better to drive around the streets not being a race bred car and all and having a more low end torque. I think u will find the 2jzgte has more power potential then a rb26 also, just they are slower stock.
