I'm not basing an argument on a DVD at all. I've been out to many cruises and a few track days and a gti-r stock VS stock or even mildly modded vs mildly modded are very close!!.

The gti-r handles better where as the GTR has a bit more go.

mate i have owned both, and driven both. I have drag raced both, and i have driven both on the circuit and i can tell you that to say the GTI-R handles better than the GTR is just wrong. The GTR has a much nicer suspension set-up, weight distribution and chassis than the pulsar. no question.

I'd prefer the gti-r :rofl:

GTI-Rs are great. no question. but trust me. Take a GTR to the track. then tell me you prefer the GTI-R and then i can have your committal papers drawn up. haha

I don't want a skyline anymore, too much shit associated with the name. It's the VL of this decade....

Best motoring DVD had the gti-r VS an R32 GTR and the gti-r is up with the R32 GTR the whole way!! Around corners the GTi-r destroys the GTR, the only area the GTR was winning was the straights, even then the gti-r was very close. This was a test stock VS stock.

Greg - Very suprising to hear that about the DVD. I believe ya the DVD showed it but something must have been off... GTiRs are DAMN fast, and with the right driver plowing the nose through corners VERY VERY competetive (imo) but _destroying_ a GTR??? I can believe it passed it but it can't have destroyed it surely?

Each to his own and between funky, baron and Greg there's been enough good thoughts in here for the person who started the thread.

I've never driven a GTR but having driven silvias, cefiros, GTiRs I'd still take the GTR if I could.

On topic however - the prospective owner of the GTiR shouldn't have any worries but it won't save money :P

please listen to him..

he knows.

and p.s. in the year or two i owned my gtir, the on the road time was very little..

broken gearbox, than led to an oil filter comming off.. ceasing motor. resulting in rebuild. than eventually selling and moving up in the world.

the gtir was an understeering pig.. but ever so fun doing the drifto in the wet or on dirt.. i f**king loved it.

if i owned a farm.. i'd buy a gtir

Throughout the corners the GTi-r gets the GTR every time (on this DVD). On the straight the Gti-R was not far from the GTR at all.

A dvd of 1 track day doesent really mean squat especially if the whole thing is in japanese.

In the GTR special edition best motoring dvd they race a 34,33,32 GTR's and a G35 on a track and the G35 beats the R32 as the R32 has oil cooler problems and keeps overheating and has to keep slowing down. If it didnt have english translation you wouldnt know and would think the r32 was a piece of shit.

Then there the best motoring drivers. Gan San is a mad man and if he was driving the gtir the other drivers usually stay out of his way :rofl:

WOW... calm down..

I couldn't care less either way.

I think in this thread the thread creater has estabilished what he needed.

I would never buy another skyline no matter what (unless it's a V35). All the time slips and track records in the world could not convince me to put up with all the bull shit with owning another skyline (eg. wanna run bro, [at every set of lights]).

    • If you have a RB25DET NEO AWD motor, you will need this: https://www.hioctanedirect.com/ASR-RB26-RWD-Street-Comp-6.5L-Sump-Suit-R32/33/34-and-VL It is made for the AWD motor, but makes it fit a RWD setup and gives you a new pickup. Just one thing, the pickup sits quite forward, compared to a conventional RB25DET RWD motor. This may or may not have contributed to my previous AWD -> RWD shitting the bed at the track.
    • My car is also flex tuned. It's worth mentioning it (the LS1 ECU) has a 1D table for E85 addition and just uses the ethanol stoich part as the second point of reference. It also as a 3D timing map for Ethanol adjustment. You would think this isn't enough but it works pretty damn well. That said, I wouldn't want it in turbo application. It's like lifting non-natty, or taking meth. It gets you unrealistic results that break down more things going forward. If people used it to make the same amount of power they do on 98 then it'd be one thing. But people use it, crank it up to eleventy million PSI, it doesn't knock - but it pushes the point of failure to another, more expensive thing to break. Every time I see someone make 280kw on 98 and 350kw on E85 on the same equipment I just cry a bit and really wish they would just stay on 98 in that exact scenario. It's bad for you. 
    • This is kind of what I was thinking but the temp sender wire and the two pressure switch wires run through the starter subharnes and I eliminated the two pressure switch wires completely.  @GTSBoy I have a can gauge with unusually bright warnings should the oil pressure fall so the factory light isn't needed. I need to dig out my wiring diagram and see if I can sort this out.
    • It's a valid point. And it is doable with the Nistune. But I'm not inclined to flex it the way Nistune does - certainly not on a Neo ECU. They're already pernickety enough to tune just one one fuel. And of course, I'm not that interested in putting in a Link or similar, on a daily. With the stock ECU, stock looking turbo, etc etc, I still stand a chance of surviving a run-in with the plod. Last time it went over the pits (which was for the transplant, for because of a run-in with the plod), the Nistuned ECU did not even raise an eyebrow. They want to see a stock ECU running the engine, and they are happy to see it do so without the check engine light** on. Never mind that the Nistune is necessary to make the stock ECU work in a different chassis without ABS, TCS, etc. **And they actually provoke the CEL to come on by disconnecting the AFM, to prove that the globe hasn't been pulled!
    • This is why you flex fuel it...
