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

  • 4 weeks later...

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

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 :P

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 :)

Cheers GMB

DrifTas

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 :D

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. :angry:

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
