Well the R32 GTR was probably finalised back in 1986 or so. And cars have come a long way since then. So in terms of suspension where there have been leaps and bounds made i think the newer car would be better. Also the chassis in a R34 GT-t is 50 percent stiffer than that of a R33 GTR so for ciircuit that would be good.

I personally chose a 34 GT-t over a 32 GTR just because i got a newer more moden car, that i beleived i would have less problems with.

Both will make good track cars i guess it's down to personal preference, a lot of guys on here do hillclimbs and race so maybe ask in the motorsport section.

no expense? I would pick a 32 GTR in a heartbeat. dream car.. you would want to rebuild a lot of it as they are getting quite old these days. but in slick condition they would be a phenomenal track car, hell some of us still have wet dreams of bathurst days gone by :)

speaking purely in terms of percentage increase of power from the engine, R33 GTS-t. You can go from 140rwkw to 270rwkw without opening the motor and that's pretty impressive.

Out of the 32 GTR, 33GTR and 34GT T with no expense a problem which would create the best car for track and occasional drag.

please post opinions backed with facts! Cheers.

Any restrictions at all? Are you prepping it just for random track days / supersprints, or do you want to race in specific classes of racing (that may have modification rules)?

Rule the GTT out. If money is no object, you should only be considering GT-Rs anyway. Structural rigidity is nice, but its a lot easier and more reliable to start off with an AWD drivetrain than trying to make one fit....and AWD is going to be important when you sink a king's ransom into the engine. Its a lot easier, with fewer reliability problems, to seam weld and brace a chassis than trying to make an AWD system go in.

I'd probably take the R32. With no budget and no class restrictions you can do anything you want (just use a tube frame and keep the silhouette after you've replaced the entire body with CF), and the R32 is a sexier beast.

The R34 GT-R's ATTESSA system is meant to be the best of the lot, being the last of the breed. How come in your unlimited budget question its not an option?

I was asking with these 3 cars in mind because by stating that money was not a problem i'm trying to eliminate out the replies like 32 GTR engines are older etc etc (since i cant help but think what a 32 GTR with 34 engine and ESSA, upgraded shocks etc etc would be capable of in terms of performance) . I'm talking these cars brought back to new. and the 34 GTR is not an option because it's price is allot higher than the latter and in my eyes with no major benefit considering the car will be modified.

32 GTR is lightest, get things like a full suspension setup, HKS underbody strengthening kit, cross brace for rear, underbody cross brace... You could really stiffen up chassis, engine well you can do whatever you want so thats limited only to budget, but its a solid base in the rb26dett..

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
