When I was buying my recent car I drove more GTS-T's and GTR's then you can poke a stick at.

I say go GTR if you want a car that feels like 100% proof Alcohol

Get a GTS-T if you want to drink milk.

Becouse a GTS-T really is milk compaired to a GTR.

I was comparing a R32 GTR to a R33 GTS-T.

Just thought this was relevent.

I would have a 33 or 34 GTR in a minute if one was dropped in my lap for a reasonable price and was in good to great condition.

I am leaning a lot more on the GTST side now , as I can do a lot of work myself and do bits every now and then. Because at the end of the day I want a unique looking (you will know what I mean if you saw my last R33) well built , strong, reliable and something I can slide around in as well. Have decided I am going to paint it the Light pearl blue from the ford XR6/8 (A lighter version of my R33) I want about 200-225rwkw with a lot of suspention work as I love going down to the track.

I just don't know. I've driven both a lightly modded R32 GTR and a highly modded GTS-T and for the get-off-the-line-holy-crap, you can't go past a GTR. BUT!!! The GTS-T was only 1 second behind the GTR on the National Circuit at QR, same driver. For the dollars and fun factor, I would go a GTS-T (RB25 only though)

Also, a lot of the GTR owners I know are not game to launch hard because they are frightened of breaking something.

It all comes down to clutch, i couldnt launch with my old clutch, in went a new Nismo twin plate - and it launches perfectly now (see sig) :wave:

No one said GTRs cant launch...Dave was just saying that many who own them are afarid to lauch and break stuff....and to be honest unless they are launched they arent that fast

WELL when I do my convertion I will be looking closely at a different gaer box, as my cluth will be fine as I just put in a Exedy HD 5 puk clutch in. and I want about 225kw out of the RB25 so I will have to think about if a standard gearbox will like that to much. What parts break in stock gearbox's and can I just get it re-built and strenghend before I chuck it on.

The gearbox in the R33 GTS-T is pretty strong. I've got around the rwkw numbers you are talking and I have had probably 30 trips down the strip and 100+ laps of QR and the gearbox is fantastic (actually gets better the hotter it gets.) So I wouldn't spend money on it until you manage to break it!!

Yeah you can use the same clutch. I bought a decent clutch, but skimped on the gearbox for now.

Mine will be about 230rwkw when I can afford to buy an EBC and get the PowerFC tuned. That's about as far as I am taking it (so I say now)

cool keep me posted pred as I hope to have around the same mods as you. I will be using your site as well alot so keep that up, I always look forward to the updates on it.

to much mussle for me , I would rather keep all 4 wheels on the road. Plus I will be spending enough money on mods and rice, to be spending any more on fuel! Remember I will be taking it back upto Darwin where fuel is at $1.50 for pemiuim

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
