I just don't really get it... I mean, I have a descent R33 GTS-T at the moment. It handles great and has very descent power. My next upgrade next year or so would be a R34GTR.

I know some people who spend so much money making their GTS-T into a GTR or even more... why? Just buy a GTR?

To be honest, I was thinking of doing a RB26DETT implant myself... but in the end, decided against it... like UWISSH send... who spend the cash when we can upgrade to another plantform?

I see where you are coming from, but some ppl prefer RWD.

Some ppl like to drift, but I mean, some ppl like Keiichi Tsuchiya can drift 4WD.

Some ppl do it as a hobby and like to make a 'Sleeper' car.

Some ppl perfer the handling of RWD.

In fairness to the owner, the GTS-R logo was used by a number of aftermarket tuners in Japan who sought to re-create a modern version of the R31 version, and putting an RB26 into a GTS-t would make sense in that regard.

It's not an official version, but I suspect the owner genuinely believes it's something more special than what it is, rather than being outrightly deceptive. Super Autobacs is the Japanese equivalent of Autobahn.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
