No comparison....

The first thing you notice in a GTR is the amount of grip, or the feeling of stability.

The GTS-t feels a lot more twitchy where the GTR just sticks. You often don't feel like your pushing the GTR until you glance at the speedo!! It is just effortless.

lol yer im liking the sound of that... my only conceren is the fact there getting old and itll cost a packet to fix.. and being so old lots of things will go wrong...

also whats the fuel consumption like??

at the moment im still driving the gtst and i have stockies on it at the moment.....no traction in first or if i shift to second hard it never grips so i have to slowly hit second.

also cant push hard around corners cause the power never gets put down til the striaght.

the gtr fixes this

Seriously... if you want 300kw at the wheels, then we are talking in the region of 500hp at the motor.... I have never tested the fuel economy. If you are worried about that then perhaps its not for you. Not trying to be rude but thats the reality here.

You will probably find that most GTR owners have a second car or cheap runabout also... A GTR as your only car could get expensive as you say.

I get between 14 and 16 L/100kms, I find it to be a legit question in figuring out if it really is affordable. Not all of us are comfortable with paying past a certain amount for fuel, and you don't have to be filthy rich to appreciate these cars.

I'm certain you would be happier spending less for fuel for the same power as would anyone else. If I could get mega power and decent fuel consumption(subjective to what you're comfortable with spending) then I'm all for it!

I reckon I got around 400km or so to a tank coming back from brisbane.... so its probably not a lot different to your current situation.

well i'm keeping my r33 gtst and i'm gonna save for a r33 gtr! even though i love the r32 but i prefer a r33 though! mainly because it's a bit newer and nicer interior and they have air bags! plus it lapped the nur 20 secs faster than the r32! if i remember correctly... the r32 gtr v spec 2 did it in 8.22 and the r33 gtr v spec in 8.01? but still any gtr would be nice! so in my opinion yes get a r32 gtr.....

Funny thing I've noticed with my car is that worse case scenario when I drive like my foot is attached to the floor isn't that much worse than when I drive like a granny. Conclusion: My foot stays planted now.

lol :thumbsup:

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
