I think he means if the 33's were that good then they wouldnt have stopped making them...

So just because they dont make the Gtir still doesnt mean its not a good car...

funny how the people comparing gti-r's to gtr's don't even own GTR's.

Every single GTR owner i have ever met has loved the GTI-R pulsar, 'a true baby godzilla'.

To compare them is silly - but to recognise the pulsar as a 'baby GTR' is a title gti-r owners are hell proud of ;)

ps. I'm a regular around Appin, i was asked for a run against a Black GTS-T with front mount, 14psi, exhaust and blow off valve one night.

Standing start - killed it - 5 car lengths easily

rolling start - i thought i was going to lose - but no - 2 car lengths, i thought they were quicker than that.

If any pulsar owners want to join us - then feel free, we hunt in packs of 4 usually ;)

and whats the difference between a r33 and r34 gts-t?? different bodywork and other bits and pieces! The gti-r is a good car but it has seased production.

Appin is a beautiful area. Too bad Airds is just down the rd.

Ok now i am gonna find that gti-r i raced when i had 155kw@wheels and try run him again with 183kw@wheels! :P

Only this is there aint many around here in mexico these days!

You are now invited to Sydney to run me in my GTiR.

Obviously my comment was stupid - I copied you. Smoothline cleared it up... and thanks for the laugh guys ;)

Wow,

I'd just like to say, I am a Pulsar GTiR owner.

And to answer a couple of comments......

The Understeer problems can be fixed. - Easily But yes they exist.

And wow, some of you guys are very one eyed. GTR I think you should wake up buddy.

I know Allan_GTiR and watched him bliz that GTST that night.

I have recently run an R32GTR rolling start who was running 14psi recently and to find the chap could only just beat me (coupla lenthgs) to 180. Yes we had a few runs.

In the past I have actually beaten GTRs too. But I aint bragging.

I have yet to lose to a GTST, rolling run, top speed whatever.

Mate if you drive a GTST its a GTST not a bloody GTR.

I have Driven a few GTR 's in the UK, R33's & R32's. And yes I love them. Infact I gave some real serious thought to buying an R33 GTR instead of my current (2nd) GTiR. I may get one one day. Just enjoying the fun, buzz box like giant kiler performance of the little pulsar.

Most GTiR owners do look up to the GTR as it is big brother.

And we appreciate your Car.

But what REALLY annoys me is GTST owners that blab it off and do the whole I'm better than you thing thinking they own a Skyline and their car is the best thing on the road. Wake up.

I respect your GTST, Respect my car. It'll eat you.

Hopefuly I havent come accross like too much of a prick, cause I dont want to create any problems. But I appreciate 90% of you fellas on here agree the GTiR is a good little car. You dont have to like em, thats an opinion. But to appreciate.

Thanks For reading my bloody 20 million character long post :D)

wrxkilla: You're spot on about soooo many skyline owners.....but most of the guys on here aren't as bad as habib & co. cruising up & down George St on Saturday night.

There's so many wankers out there these days. I got rid of my 'line because they're just everywhere.

I can't wait for all my extra go-fast bits get installed on my GTi-R so as I can have a go against a GTR & see who comes off 2nd best.....

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
