Summation of this thread: GTS-Ts suck, go for GTR

coming from a guy with a MR-S

Are you sure you weren't suppose to put an "a" instead on an "i" in your username; log off buddy, you'll stop embarrassing yourself :)

As i said i wouldn't sell my Gtst for a GTR. That's not to say that, if i had the money and space i wouldn't have both :)

lol cos a 600hp turbo doesn't make 400rwkw's, it's like a can of baked beans doesn't have lollypops in it, it just doesn't. and 350rwkw's is a pretty low power figure these days, pretty much every modified new v8 out there is making more than that....

anyway ontopic, if you are tossing up between a gtt and a gtr it really depends what you want it for. you do much track work with the car or is it only street driven? If the cars only street driven I wouldn't really say it's worth the extra money. Although they do look so much better :) I find driving a high powered rwd car on the street is much more fun than the gtr, gtr's are awesome when your going fast but on the street you don't go fast so meh, I have more fun on the street hanging it out round corners and generally making a menace of myself in a super happy fun rwd car over going insanley fast.....which is really what gtr's are about :)

Yeah, but they are hauling almost 2 tonne of body. Still alot of power in my books; nothing to make a name with though.

thats why they are ghey and I still beat them :) Still I like the whole v8 in an rx7 idea :no: to make a name these days you need over 1000 at the treads I reckon....

and cubes, 1 better, I own a commodore :) it's awesome....so much power.....even in the wet it's hard to get sideways these days :)

lolololol I like it when people take the bait.

The R32/R33/R34 is an old car.

Old car means problems of wear and tear etc.

If you were willing to take the burden of dealing with these problems, why not get the also old GTR? It would cost nearly the same in maintenance.

Let's say you have 20K to buy a Skyline. You could buy a R33 GTS-t or a R32 GTR. Performance wise, which would you go for?

Let's say you have 30K to buy a Skyline. You could buy a R34 GT-T or a R33 GTR. Performance wise, which would you go for?

Didn't you aready run a 12.5 in your GTT? so your car is already quicker than an R34 GTR?

Don't waste money on a GTT, go straight for the GTR, but fark a r34, go a r32 GTR. The prices they are going for at the moment is just insane, $25k will get you a very nicely modded 32 GTR no worries. $40k will get you an animal race built r32 GTR.

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
