Since owning my R32 gts-t, i've almost always wanted it to be a GTR.

I love everything about my gts-t, but it still lurks in the back of my mind that I still don't have the GTR.

Am I alone?

i've been asked this question by mates a couple times...

to the technical side the only thing that makes me feel like i've been cut short is that i don't own the original pedigree of nissan. people that own the r32 gtr own a part of nissan's history.

apart from that the way i see it is that i own a sports car used for drifting motorsport which i love, rather than a race car used for racing motorsport which i'm not so interested in. i also have the benefit of cheaper parts and wrecker availability!

my2c :O

I dont wich my car was a GTR, but i wich Nissan had built the GTR right from the factory. I dont want a GTR because its 4wd...i would much rather Nissan have built a rwd, 2.6L R32 with wider alloy panels, better brakes and interior etc. Imagine if the GTR was sub 1300kgs without the dramas many owners end up having because the silly diffs etc in the sump

I'm more interested (yep, I do day dream, sky is the limit) in a beefed up GTR

(What I mean is doing the stupid/impossible/senseless kinda thing, like getting a V12 and stuff it into a GTR shell)

Hey, you can't stop me day dreaming right?

yeah considering selling the 33 gtst and getting an r32 gtr. i could put more money/performance into the 33, but then i'll start running into traction issues + i'd rather have a car that's more nible with 4wd. i got test driven in a 32gtr, i liked everything about it except 2 things, it's age and the seat comfort

now where's that poll fool :)

If theres one thing i have learnt from owning a GTR is that they are expecive, they say owning a GTR is like owning a Porshe it doesnt matter if you can afford it, it matters if you can afford it when it breaks. But on a positive note you do own a part of nissans racing history and the experiace is unbelievable almost unlimitless traction but in differant cases you can have very limitless traction, in the wet weather there amazing and on a dry track there even better. Yes GTR's are quick in a straight line and the awd system has been ahead of its time for the last 10years but if you dont understand basic racing ethics you will never unleash the GTR's full potential. So mony aside yes everyone should experiace a GTR but if cant afford to fix it dont really bother just find someone else with one and make them drive you everywere because even if its not yours and even if your just a passenger its worth it.

No I do not wish I owned a GTR instead of my GTS-4, the RB20DET has been underestimated by a lot of people. By the time i'm done I will make quite a bit of power and rev nicely to 12,000 rpm..

no gtr for me,happy with my gtst,as was said before alot more money involved that can be spent on other things,like my twin turbo 318 v8 valiant project in my garage :cool:

Yes i would definately love it to be a gtr if someone else was paying for it, to me the only problem with a gtr is that they are too expensive to own and maintain

i would never be able to afford one in my lifetime but my 33 gts25t does me but i wouldn't mind the gtr's traction for all those commodore freaks pulling up beside me revving and screaming their V8s trying to get me to race, most times i don't bother with them or i'll stir them up and take off slowly

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
