I am so over this thread its not funny.

I bet all these gtst owners have never owned a gtr to tell the diference. I used to be in denial too when i owned my gtst.

Fact of the matter is the gtr has a larger motor and produces more torque, and revs harder. period. Read my above post at top of page.

Get over it!

4wd sucks, just makes up for a lack of a good chassis. :blush:

Wow, a whole 70cc more, look out!

Been in plenty of GTR's bud (not R34 GTR though), on stock turbo's they aren't that fast and i found them to be quite a bit laggy. Just like a stock turbo'd GTST isn't that fast.

Just because they can launch hard down the drags and run 11's on the stock turbo's, doesn't mean they are an 11 second car on the street from a roll on.

They are awesome cars, it's just i think people make them out to be a supercar in stock form (R32 and R33) and that's just not the case.

ive tested ur roll on theory buddy.

ive ran a gtst with pretty much the same power as my gtr and i can tell you that the 2 cars were pretty much identical.

gtst got the jump on the run by 1 car and by the end, it was side by side.

similiar bolton mods too :blush: And remember i didnt say the gtr was quicker on the run. I said it carrys its weight extremely well and is on par with its lighter brother.

I say no more. Unless u have tested ur theory stop justifying ur results on others cars. Im not saying gtst's are slow, i had one making great power and loved every minute of it. The gtr is just an awesom all rounder, grip and power.

p.s- all testing was done on private property. so dont ask.

thankyou :)

I never once said a GTST was faster from a roll on. You just proved my point. They are the same car from a roll on with the same power, differences in mods and how they make their power in the rev range alters who would win.

The only real benefit of the GTR is the extra weight helps you smash throlugh armcos during those off track axcursions and also the 4wd is good for getting out of sand traps! :)

You are forgetting the extra length they add to your ewang Roy. :blush:

Its not length thas a problem, its girth. I need more girth. I think that means i need a Ferrari as that mens extra girth and length

Maybe thats why they have the prancing horse as their emblem :blush:

I spent the last 6 years and most of my wages modifying a R33 gtst. I though it would have been finished years ago until i slowly realised that i was not even close. I threw so much money at the car only to go to the drags and get beaten by GTR's. I mean not all but any lightly modified GTR will shit and i mean shit all over a tough GTST (by tough i mean around 300-350rwkw). Not just power but i also changed to GTR interior/strut braces/guages etc, only to realise that i was pretty much chasing my tail. Car is basically gone and what have i learned? BUY A GTR TO BEGIN WITH IT IS THAT MUCH BETTER OF A CAR!!!! Having said that i loved my car, was a great car thats why i had it for 6 years. Served me well, was reliable and great fun to drive.

My 2c

Once again, that's at the drags, the GTR does a great launch and doesn't spin the first two gears which costs you a second. Remember, every second you lose at your start usually makes up two seconds by the end.

I don't drive a drag car, i drive a street car. I dont launch my car at every set of lights. Hence my point.

I could run down the drags with mine and run a 12.5 (for example), same powered GTR would run a low 11 (for example). Therefore in your eyes the GTR is soooo much quicker.

Line the same car up next to me on the street, come out of a roundabout and stomp it. I gaurantee the race will be equal. This is my point.

What are we discussing here? I wasn't aware every one on here is driving around a drag car.

Well here is the results from the SAUQLD Cairns motorkarna event. We had 2 R34 GTR's, 2 EVO 8's, 6 R33 GTST's (in various stages of tune from stock, to boost, to 400rwhp and with suspension work. The two R34's were stock, except the winning R34 had a exedy twin plate upgraded, and my car's nismo suspension.

The motorkarna was a 6 events.

1. Tight course slalem, 1st and 2nd gear in the gtr only.

2. Loose course slalem, 1st and 2nd still, but faster.

3. Simular to 2, but with two parking garages inside 6 cones.

4. go-woah over 100meters, approx.

5. 2 lap circuit. Its a tight course, about 1.5 lanes wide with some areas that require large balls to do quickly. Mistakes can land you in the creek, into a concrete wall or into a few 1.5 ton concrete posts. 3rd gear and about 115-120km.h on the main straight and about 100 on the back straight (before that concrete wall, posts and two 90 degree double apex corners.

6. 4 laps of circuit.

Initial guesses were that the evo's were going to kick ass being smaller and lighter than everything else there. Also Nathan's evo was quite modified making around 350awhp, with suspension and aerodynamic improvements. GTR's were expected to come second, though Christian''s R33 GTST was also expected to do well because he drives like a demon and had won the previous 2 events.

Many of the track courses were tight though, which gave the GTST's an advantage in being able to turn around faster by kicking out the back end (but those that tried over cooked it). The EVO8's turned out to have the turning circle of a boat, like an R33 GTR, and they managed to collect a few penalties from witch hat strikes.

Mike in his R34 did the big launches all day long thanks to his exedy twin plate handling that abuse easily. My R34 gtr has a stock clutch, so I drove off the line for all stages at around 3000 rpm, but didnt hold back once I was rolling.

All times are in seconds.

Brace yourselves...

So, Mike's GTR was nearly the fastest in all stages in near stock form (except for the clutch). Only the modified evo8 could beat it in the straight line acceleration of the go-woah and the faster slalem event. The GTS-T's while being tuned for more power running 14lb or more boost proved to be less controlable with that power. Power oversteering or under-steering in many corners.

I was second outright with a stock R34 gtr that has nismo S-tune suspension. I didnt win any event outright, but because I was consistent and didnt pick up any penalties I placed well.

There was to spins at speed as well. One was a GTST that spun while braking into a hard right hand corner.

The 2nd was an evo8, dropped the left rear off the track into the dirt when coming out of the 90 degree turn off the main straight. Unsetteled the car and then the driver tried to drive through the spin. My guess is that the lack of a torque split awd system combined with an un-settled car at about 80km/h and 350hp the car spun around to the left, 270 degrees to come to a stop. Shame we didnt get this on video too, because it was very impressive.

Does anyone have some real data comparing track days where speeds above 200 are attained?

Your GTR is not std! :P Beer Baron and me put a Tomei 2.8L in it and the turbz are GT-SS. Your std clutch is a Nismo Coppermix and you have an aftermarket ecu and injectors. It was all stuff laying around the Barons spare room so when he moved house it was easier to install it all in his car and then drive the car over. We never removed any of it. You got a good buy. Throw it on a dyno and i bet it makes about 675awkws, i am quite the tuner :thumbsup:

Every person will have examples. I have track results from Dutton where my car beat EVOs, GTRs, Porkas etc at events over 30seconds. And on the track was in the top 15 from over 80 cars. There was only 1 or two sane cars up ahead of me. ?!?!!?

But dont try and turn this into a serious argument. :rofl:

Well if its a 2.8 its the most piss week engine ive ever owned for what its supposed to be! No the engine in my R34 is 100% stock. My old R33 GTR with every bolt on upgrade except turbo's and with a 12lb tune was a faster accelerating car.

I forgot to mention, the second EVO8 is also 100% stock. Very impressive brakes on those cars too. Larger than the stock R34 GTR brakes.

For our motorkarna to be competetive you needed to be in control, and if you went too fast you'd lose it and take out an orange cone and pick up a 5 second penalty. Adding too much power without equally adding to handling just unbalances the car, or just seems make it too fast to be controlable around a tight course.

I guess the only way to really know is to put the stig behind the wheel and eliminate driver skill.

Very impressive stuff mate, congrats, gotta love R34 GTR's :P

Would have been interesting if there where some of the older model GTR's running in it, to see how they would have compared.

F**k, look at the time, i think we should all get to bed lol.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
