I belive all thing that are good about a GTO is what also makes them such a pain to mod stock for stock GTOs arnt slow and do 100kph in 1st but still think a GTR would win all. GTO has more wiring then is good for it i wanted one before i brought my GTR but very lttle info about mods out there.

Agree with GorGasm 100%

I hear they have a glass transfer case that costs you a kidney when it breaks also :wave:

Not only that, the gearbox is not the strongest either - you'll find many GTO/Dodge Stealth owners have had the gearboxes reconditioned/rebuilt.

GTOs look nice but they are heavy, don't handle too well and expensive to maintain - basically Mitsubishi's version of the 300ZX

you're going to get a bias opinion on a skyline forum... but here is my opinion, might be biased since i've never owned a GTO..

They look nice - one of the guys in sau vic has one, looks hot, and goes well, very responsive, being 3L.... but i belive they are heavy compared to a GTR, handling isn't quite GTR class, and they cost a lot to make go fast, mainly because not many people have put the R&D into them here compared to GTRs....

gtos look wider than the gtrs on the street - they look good, but i reckon they go crap when compared to gtrs. They are too heavy - but can be modded to do some fast times. Interior looks way too daunting for my liking..

I own both cars, i think the GTR is a true race car out of the GTO but GTO does have lot more torque compared with the GTR.

But as as daily i would perfer a GTO because the ride is much nicer and comfortable than the GTR but if it was race track i would choose the GTR.

The only down side with the GTR is to many P-platers own them. Especially ones that public education has failed.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
