but half you guys dont even own GTR . how do you know they are better than gtir? LOL .

true.

All I can say is I find it hard to compare such different classes of car. I mean they are both 4wd but were designed for totally different applications. That said if you pumped infinite dollars into both of them my guess would be they would be hard to fault in a straight line or round corners.... I am probably way off the mark but there's my spin on things.

Bottom line is that a GTi R is a great car...

And why compare a rally bred hatch to a Group A/circuit bred coupe? Doesnt make sense!!

Thats like comparing a LeMans 24 hr car to a Drag car....

Designed and built for totally different purposes so both have pluses and minuses...

Again: GTiR=Good car. :(

if the gti-r was such a great car nissan would have kept making them!

i looked at a few when lookin to get my skyline but the interior is nuttin crash hot! very exective like.

From a traffic light drag the gti-r might get the jump on the skyline but on a rolling start the skyline can pull away. Heck with only 155kw@wheels i ran a gtir 4 times with rolling starts upto 180 click and i had 5-6 car lenghts on him each time by 180.

I think you'll find that the GTI-R was only built as a homologation for WRC purposes. It didn't cut it at the top level as a rally car so they didn't need to keep making them. Doesn't mean they aren't a great performance car though.

GTI-Rs are great cars,

SR20 is proven

Quad throttle body

Light and AWD

Respond well to mods - you can get hell gear for them

But - you MUST get an oil cooler for them or the engine will fry.... (if pushing then hard)

Also handy for a dinner party when you are serving grated Parmesan and Spag Bol.......

    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
