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.......

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
