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.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
