Yeah, WRX was owning until it BROKE.

normal. they break easily by spun bearings when you put too much power due to engine design. too many dicks drive WRXs plus, all Subaru succeded in racing was WRC. GTR? well; Bathurst( i think we all know that one), Targa Rallies, Group A(1990s), Le Mans(1990s), JGTC, Drag racing(HKS R33 GTR), etc...

if your comparing the Standard Rex which is overused by wankers who litter them shitty paint jobs stickers and chrome wheels to a r33 v spec which is a legendary track beast i'd take the r33 v spec, throw a WRX STI into the equation and i'd probably try both and get which one you feel is most fitting to your driving style.

Does that mean Commodores are the greatest car ever? seing as there are more of them than any other car on the road ?
Nah Fords are better.

Meh, Camrys are better than both...

I noimate the Camry being the most common car seen on the road.

Toyota hit the jack pot when they realised that the majoriy of the car buying market are filled with plain & boring people who just want A-B transport.

Oh & WRX's are still ulgy :)

I own an my03 wrx as well as my bunky..

Comparing it against a 33 gtr v-spec I know which one I would have for being able to park it in a carpark, or fit shit in the boot, or carry 4 people with ease ( some people I know don't exactly like hopping over the front seats to get in a car ).

For sheer driving pleasure the gtr hands down, but I would be petrified leaving it anywhere that I couldn't see it.

http://www.boostcruising.com/forums/lofive...hp/t452714.html is the main one i was reading.

I have a feeling i started reading at the wrong point in the thread though lol, now i don't know what car they are talking about. I tried to find specific mention of the car, but all anyone seems to be saying is GTR ETA runs a RB26/30, and then people are also talking about a WRX, and after re-reading it, not sure they are talking about the same car as there is mention of an S15 as well... Lol, too many cars with the plates GTR ETA, just goes to prove that the GTR is what they are aiming to beat :D

OK - I can give you my recent experience with both makes.

New to Skylines, and the forum.

12mths ago I purchased a 03 STI (with medium mods) - sold it within 3 mths!

Noisy.

Slow, if not on boost.

No torque.

Front torque steer under power.

understeer.

It was like driving a highly strung race car on the street, which needed the crap revved out of it to have any fun. - very annoying.

3 weeks ago I purchased a R32 GTR - stock standard. I love it. I have had plenty of performance cars, currently race a 4cyl Alfa in Historic Touring cars, (I am 45 yrs young), and the GTR is a serious car. It is the real deal when it comes to serious performance cars. I also considered a EVO, but same issues as above with the WRX(to buzzy/rice burner type of thing.

In the end I really wanted a super/muscle car. A make/model with race history, something original and to hang on to long term. I could have spent $40 - $60K on Aussie muscle, but in the end spent $14K!! on a true performance (race) car.

When driven at full tilt, the GTR is a more capable/satisfying/mind blowing/enjoyable experience.

Being from the old school/V8 type back ground, the best way to sum it up is that the GTR is more like a cross over between Aussie muscle with Jap hightech, - if you know what I mean......even my HSV/FPV mates rate it highly - surprise, surprise!!

If you want a "sporty" car - maybe a WRX (but go EVO)

If you want a true supercar (a legend) - go GTR

Thats it, now I'm off for a drive along the coast in my new toy, and then maybe give it a wax, and just stand back and admire. (never felt doing that with the STI)

Steve.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
