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 hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
