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

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]).

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
