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.......

    • This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking 
    • Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?
    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
