My 2 cents on the thread topic..

GTR > GTS-T (and no before you think, this is not a biased comment it is a factual one).

I owned a R32 GTS-T way back when I was 20. It was my first "performance" car and I loved it.

But after having owned now two GTR's they just do not compare at all. They make look (exterior-wise) very similar, but thats where similarities end..........

On the track there are some GTSTs that can keep up with the GTRs. However, ask those GTST owners how much they spent on their car before they can catch up with the GTRs.

It really depends on how much money you can input into your car. Whoever has the 'dough' wins the race.

How bout the upkeep on a gtr? Ive read in magazine's they are very expensive to keep and to look after? also if your motor go's your lookin at a 10,000 rebuild ofcourse with forgies! but do you need money even just to own one without modification?

GTR's do have the potential to cost $$$ if something major goes wrong. But so does other high performance cars.

The RB26 motor is not made out of paper. It is one of then most well built motors that ever came out of Japan. If you buy one that has been looked after and then you look after it yourself (i.e. don't thrash it), servicing is quite resonable (on par with servicing a V8).

Any perfomance car is going to cost you more $$$ to own/service than a non performance car.

But back to your topic...

If you are asking whether a stock GTR has a huge difference in performance compared to a GTS-T then yes, it does.

You can't compare them fairly if lots of dollars has been poured into a GTS-T and then no dollars into a GTR.

Edited by im late

its exactly the reason why i'm really trying to stop modding my GTT...i dont wanna spend anymore than i have to coz i know one day i'l want a GTR...but then the GTR is so much more expensive to modify depending on how far you're willing to go... :(

blah blah blah.. sheesh, you wanna go drifting in a gtr pull the damn fuse. sheesh. same goes for a gts4, get one of those and a rb30 block for your 25 head you are on your way to caining the arse off alot of gtrs.

if so in a drag the gtr would have a better start but how bout the finish would the rearwheel be anybetter than the 4wd system?

I just read alot of junk mags and in one they said a rwdrive is superior at the high speed compared to the 4wd?

Let us know your thoughts

^^ lol

Well the GTR's 4wd system isn't constant so if it's not spinning the back tyres then it's not splitting torque to the front wheels (although there is about 5%ish split to the front in 33s and 34s).

as bubba said, that 5% is bugger all when the rears arnt breaking traction, so id say the only advantage the gtst would have over the gtr is the fact it isnt carrying a front diff, center diff and its associated driveline components, however in saying that the gtr has the advantage of extra capacity, and more advanced engine work over the gtst, i would say better tuned ecu but for penny's these days you can have that changed in hours.

ok if you want a car that goes fast its a gtr, one thing i have learnt is it costs to much to make a pile of s**t fast and reliable just start of with a fast car and go from there, if you want a show pony get a gtst but neva try putting it up agains a gtr because it will lose even if you do beat it have a look in ya wallet and i bet you have lost. so if you want to do it do it right the first time spent the extra and get a gtr.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
