Races start from whenever 2 cars/drivers decide to get it on!

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:

Its funny I had to read this thread over again its that old but now I have a GTR so I have to eat my words.......

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

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.
