started buildin a gtst rb30 r33 head big turbo all the **** a friend did the same smaller turbo he wheel spins in 4th on boost its a animal but how do u use that power on the street .i went and bought a gtr least i can get traction now.races start from lights not on a roll at 60kms

We have just gone through this process ourselves after importing a reasonably stock R33 GTST. The first thing we wanted was to do some mods - but when you sit down and actually add up the cost of mods (FMIC, Computer, Injectors, Turbo upgrade, Fuel Pump, Manifold, Wastegate etc.) it is ridiculous !!!

We have now sold that skyline after much debate and are in the process of importing a highly modded 26DETT R33 GTST - we could have no doubt afforded a stock R32 or R33 GTR - but again we would have the same problem in wanting to do mods.

Our reason behind our final decision was anyone who owns a GTR has an awesome fast car - but to have a GTST that will be able to compete with most GTR's is a special awesome fast car and it's nice to be different sometimes too.

GTSt Skylines are wild cars for the price, but once you get to a certain power level it gets terribly expensive to get more.

Yes it seems like the barrier to GTST becomes pocket heavy when going beyond 300rwkw. Personally i'd go the GTR if BIG HP is the go...Plus the torque has to be ridden to be understood! :burnout:

Okay think of it this way... how fun is modding a car from scratch at 14.3 rated from the factory and then achieving a high 12 after having the car on the road for about 4 months... you get to see your car turn from nothing into something, you get to have fun, and its almost affordable for most with a GTSt... with a GTR its hard enough to afford the thing let alone mod it... thats the only reason i love the GTSt's, so much potential for an affordable price. Yes i am a huge GTR fan and if i had the chance i would jump for an R33/34 GTR for sure, but for now and for my first car i don't mind my 33 GTSt... its starten to boot n i'm hanging to run a GTR jus to dissapoint one :D

well said.

i had the money to buy a r32 gtr. but i didnt.

i wanted somthing different.

and i got a r33 not a 2 door( its to common) i got a 4 door.

im in this game to build a car. thats the fun part.

y buy a fast car to make it fast.

buy a slow car and make it super fast.

I was making 152rwkw in my R32 GTS-T with a 3" exhaust, 12psi of boost, stock IC, stock airbox and filter.

I ran a stock R33 GTR that launched at 5k. I managed due to reaction time to get the ever so slight jump and held in front all the way.

I've got a vid that was taken from a VX GenIII Manual Commodore that had an exhaust.

I was lucky I got one of those fluky good launches that didn't have to much wheelspin.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
