The GTi-R also uses quad throttle bodies and is giving you around 30kw more in stock form that an S15

As cereal said as funky as S15's are, putting an S15 motor in a Gti-R is

A) ****ing expensive due to cost of S15 engine

B) A downgrade in power

And no, dont believe S15 box will fit either due to 4wd

ok

well are there many pulser gtir on the market, and are the parts easy to source as well??

because i don't see many gtir on the sydney road

I don't think you should have too much of a problem finding parts for a gti-r, but they probably wont be nissan parts......you'll be able to get Jap performance parts no problems.

There aren't many of them on Sydney roads because there aren't many of them on any roads........Only 4500 of them were ever made.

When I had the cash money for my car I was flipping up for either a GTS-t or GTi-R. The skyline won by a hair.

I'd admit that the Skyline won alot due to looks, as I got turned off the GTi-R everytime I saw the rear end of it...

Does anyone know of anyone who makes a body kit for these things ? NOT over the top. Just like side skirts and maybe a slighly revised rear bar ?

Some parts from the N14 Pulsar do fit...."SOME"

An early HPI had a review on one of them...Interesting. There ARE too many R33 Taxi's doing the rounds these days...

A mate of mine at work has a gtir & i got a r32 skyline.

We usually try 2 get a red light so we can have a mini drag, goin home from work. The gtir kicks my arse by far! & all it done to it was a cat back exhaust + pod filter & i got a full exhaust & pod filter.

2 be honest though, that gtir aint that crash hot. The car interior aint in the best condition, it a lucky dip with imports, you get some good ones & you got some sour ones & ive seen a few sour gtir

He had it for over 6months now & he purchased it for $22K i think it was & little steep i know. I wouldnt personally buy a 90-93 year old second hand car for that price, im sure you can import it & get it alot cheaper then the price my mate got it for.

I got my skyline for under $15k, once i reach $22k im sure my car will skin alive the gtir.

The Gti-r is an awesome package, performance wise. They can look pretty tidy (nice one comes around near my work occasionally) but the fact it's a hatch and so small puts me off. That said, i would never bag, nor talk anyone out of buying one.

And if you're gunna buy a hot hatch...make sure it really is a hot hatch :uh-huh:

John at Unique Auto's at Castle Hill has one in Black at the moment. It was well under $22000. He took me for a quick spin last Saturday. Very ordinary interior,,,YUK!!! and don't talk to me about front end drift coming out of corners. That poor little car suffers from far to much weight in the front,,,what would make it worse is modding it,,, so you run a big fmic and doi away with the bonnet mounted one,,,which we all know doesn't work. That would add 25-30 more kilo's to the front,,,,Scary.

I was all for buying one before we got the Skyline,,,,I'm so glad we didn't.

i will wait until i got my power fc into my car and see how it goes

because i am a skilless driver so i think a 4wd will cover some of my weak points while driving. that's all. i didn't know that a gtir is a 4wd. and i thought it is very cheap. once i found out that gtir is a 4wd, with such performance, i suddenly had the thought.

    • I drive the Tiguan much harder than the Skyline in all conditions, because it just grips and hooks, unlike the R33 shit box
    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
