Drifting R 32 Gtr

[R31Nismoid]

GTRs have better engines, g/box's, diffs, gards,seats and suspention, wouldn't it be better to simply remove

the front diff and drive shafts (if you could be bothered) to offset the very slight weight disadvantage than to build up a GTST? trust me, i've done it!

Better what?

box, diff - no

gards - not sure what you are getting at

suspension - stock for stock its all average

seats - GTR seats are not as flash as you think

Better what?

box, diff - no - i'm talking about a 32, and yes thay are stronger

gards - not sure what you are getting at -fit wider rims and more lock

suspension - stock for stock its all average -i'll give you that one

seats - GTR seats are not as flash as you think -have you drifted in both, gtr seats are better

stock gtr motor with 17psi and 250-260 rwkw are one of the best drift engine around

so much usable power i used to just leave it in 3rd and would never have to clutch kick the thing

unlike laggy rb20's or 25's with teh same power

i think it is cheaper to start with a gtr than a gtst when you break it right down.

You have got to be joking...

race and rally r32 gtst-$6000

-$2000-$4000 rb25/26

-$1000-$2000 rb25 gearbox

-$600-$2000 better seats

-$1000-$2000 wider gaurds

-$800 gtr cradle (diff and drive shafts)

tatal-$10500-$16000 plus labour

race and rally r32gtr-$10000 allready cheaper and no labour

[ish]

i think we have established that the Gtr is a mixed bag for drifting .... it has the motor for it but the rest of its features work against driving with broken traction... A bit of an Oximoron if you ask me !

Well add up what it costs if you blow a motor (Rb26's are not cheap to rebuild) and finding parts is just a pain in the arse.

Compare it to a R32 GTS-t with a lo comp RB25DE, strap on the hairdryer and dial in 16psi and you have 270rwk's and lots of torque.

We all know that torque equals fun

The main reason Adam asked this question in the first place was becuase he only had the GTR and we had our first Drift day here on the Apple Isle.

He now has a drift pig and i believe the GTR will be left for its daily driving duties

Im pretty sure he was waiting for it to arrive but didnt want to miss out on the drift day

Put a 1.9MM metal gasket in (should pull the compression to 10:1) and it will handle that on its ear.

Rev better than any worked Rb20, more torque and about the same cost as building a forged 20

I know which one i would be going (i need $$$ )

GTR was fun at the drift day. Power burn outs. GTR's are a shit drift car. Having drove my gts-t last weekend there is no comparason. Grandmaster B was right I didn't want to miss the drift day. I am going to post pics of my gts-t drifting lastweekend. Enjoy.
