r32gtrboss "Just how 'lightly' is your GT-R tuned mate?"

My mods well I consider it light anyway

GeeTR: thats cool we all have different experiences

" thrashed a stock XR6 for months, and pumped quiet a few stock 'looking' R's. Like i said, while there still deciding what to do, what gear to chuck it into, how much boost to dial up onda Uleh EBC, the FalcoShite has already kicked down and laying 500nm (on the track of course)"

One must always be prepared for the infidels. Only one Boost setting, always in the right gear, always vigilant...oh and :yes: to you too lol

lol @ pumped a few R's... u sure they were R's?

They had R and Vtec badges, that means its one yah? haha

and i DONT believe u have tracked ur xr6t because im a regular tracker and an xr6t doesnt even keep up with my shitty civic around a track. its not about power either, its the fact that theyre are barges.

I was being fictitious, course i meant on the street. One is always prepared on da track. My comment on them being quicker, only applied to real world street situations where you can get caught out when in a revy hi-po import. 8k RPM clutch dump from standstill will beat most things. Same result with ATTESSA and entering apex's.

Hahahaahaha - I like.

xr6s will never come close to a gtr stock for stock, or with both had 10k spent on them,

sure the r32 gtr may have a few problems but you comparing an almost new car to an 18 yr old car,

i never remember the gtr having diff, gearbox ectt... problems.

The XR6 will be more practical and that’s it, the bloody things will weigh in at near enough 2 tonne with driver and passenger. It makes power but it needs a lot more of it then a gtr to get moving, same for torque. I can’t imagine hauling that much weight about will be economical for fuel either. At the end of the day if you want a lazy, fastish car that’s comfortable to drive then you can’t get much better then the xr6 for the money. If you want something that will excite you however it’s the gtr all the way. Only the people who have driven these things in anger can understand its brilliance

If you are actually going to use it as a ute... get the xr6t

If you want new car... get the xr6t (or budget more for the GTR)

If you want one of the best street cars in existence.... GTR all the way

Im running alot less power as Mr Keets, and I've chopped an xr6t after he caught me of guard(out of happy zone)... it wasn't slow, the R was just that much quicker.

And remember as soon as you start dialling in more power, the GTR will be more drivable in comparison due to AWD grip... nothing worse than a car with half the power thrashing you because you can't stop the wheels from dutching up :laughing-smiley-014:

Quote of the year... straight to the pool room with you :thanks:

stock for stock a GTR will have no troubles, rolling start or standing start... have done it many times in a stock GTR (my previous stock 33R ran 13.1 at 104). lightly modded sees them in the 12's easily, hell my GF lighlty tunned 180 has handed it to xrts before. xr6t is more comparable to GTT stock for stock.

Go for the gtr; considered 33R? bit newer, roomier and easier to drive on a daily basis.

    • You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?
    • Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership
    • And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.
    • No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.
    • Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
