Is it just me or am I starting to see more and more r33 GTST's crusin around with GTR badges on them. On the way to work the past two days I have seen two different GTST's with them on. Im almost certain theyre not cause they dont have flared guards and one of them looked like they almost standard GTST width tyres on it and they both dont have the GTR body kit on them.

Whats with it, I cant understand why you would do it, the only people that will really appreciate the fact that its a GTR is a skyline enthusiast or for that matter a jap car enthusiast, who will also pic a fake a mile away.

Has anyone else spotted these fakes whilst out and about and what do you think about them, personally I just laugh my head off, I drive a GTST and proud of it and i wont lie I wish it was a GTR but its not so why pretend.

you really don't like em do you nex :P

haha I loved that thread, pity half the pics don't show up anymore.

It is also an example of how crap these people are, as it was complaints from the tossers and their fake GTR's that had the thread locked! :laugh:

good times :P

Ahahaha I dont think i would be proud to have a GTST with a GTR badge on... obviously the person is trying to state a point. Isnt the whole idea to beat GTR's? If that was the case I would be putting my GTST badges on!

I actually debadge my GTR for some time and its true.... some cant tell the difference. Get more races, get more tools.... lol

GTR or GTST ... still skylines, better than your commodores.

Yay Arbess!!! A GTR owner who gets it!!! Doesn't discriminate and doesn't judge. A Skyline is a Skyline. I hate hearing that crap about how us 'poor' GTS-T owners need to earn more money to get a GTR!! I Chose the GTS-T for my own reasons, and judging by the amount GTR owners have to spend to make more power, it is a clear cut win to the GTS-T crowd. There are more of us and there always will be, so get along or don't, your elitism is unwarranted and sad.

Sorry to all those GTR owners who do socialise with us, but most don't want to.

personally i dont descriminate any GTST owners at all, i do have respect for most of them ( some of their cars are faster than GTRs any way).

but putting a badge on is just stupid..........i saw one the other day, but he ran away from me. lol

I am one of the lucky few who have a foot in each camp.

I have a R33 GTR V-Spec in pristine condition that I use for my weekend toy.

I also have a very nice R33 GTS-T Series II that I use as my daily driver.

I love both of my Skylines with a passion (just ask the wife) and I appreciate each of them for what they are. They are two very different cars and I would never put a GTR wing or badge on my GTS-T because I am proud to own it as a GTS-T.

And on the seventh day God created the Nissan Skyline and to own one is like nothing else.........

Reason I bought a GTST is that it was about $10K cheaper than a 32 GTR at the time.

As time goes by that same money could buy me a 32 GTR with $5K left over now :thumbsup:

all good points ... still if you badge your car as something else other than it is, then be prepared to have fun made of you.

If you can handle being ridiculed and living a lie ... then all power to you.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
