personally, if i went down the GTR road, it would probably be an R32, I drive an R33 GTS-T, and the  R33 GT-R is too similar and i wouldn't enjoy it, it would just be a subtle change to what i already have for a shit tonne more money.

I sort of agree not the 32 part, but ive got a 98 r33 gtst pretty clean. i was thinking if i were to sell it and spend say an extra $20,000-30,000 to buy a good condition R33 gtr would i really be getting anything amazingly extra? Apart from sick internet cred thats guaranteed. Not talking collector car nonsense. For an owner driver, would my experiance be any different on the usual sunday cruise.

 I would be driving pretty much the same thing and looking at essentially the same dash/interior but it just costs 4x+ the price.?  Im not sure ive been thinking a bit about it latley. And maybe is there better options out there for the money. I know a mint gtr with 900hp is sick but that's nots cheap either i heard. I dont know but i reckon they're both good cars.

 

And that 4x the price comes with the same rattles and other annoying issues that come with a car of its age.

Exactly the cockpit is exactly the same, and considering I prefer to drive my cars than sit and stare at them, i feel like going from GTS-T >> GT-R wouldn't feel like enough of a change to justify the cost. Purely talking aesthetics here. Now, if it drove and handled considerably better, then maybe, but do they?

Anyone who would like to come for a drive is welcome to ride shotgun in my R33 GTR. They are a completely different animal compared to a GTS-T, seriously. They really shouldn't even be compared.

 

 

Totally agree. 

The difference between a GTS-T & GTR for all models is massive.

What if I get a stiffy, or is that to be expected and why you want to take someone for a drive?

I’ve always had a hunch you has something special hidden “under the hood”.

Sorry but the interior of a gtst vs a gtr of the same model really aren’t that different, it’s like some who daily’s a shit box CE lancer is never going to buy an Evo 4,5 or 6 as a toy

I don't want to speak for all Americans, but a few of the people I have spoken to have been workshop owners. They believe that the R33 is going to be more popular in the US than the 32.

Their justification was that the R32s are breaking into the US market and importers/part shops/workshops popping up to support them, then the R33 will follow, cheaper and newer, following an already known path into the US. It removes a bit of the risks that some clients feel exist and they still get a GTR or Skyline of their choice.

We have the 25 year law and as of August of this year we have been getting the 33 gtst here. No gtr for the 33 yet. I got my 32 a year ago and I’ve just now started to notice the us dot com shops have started to add the Skyline to their inventory parts search which is making it a lot more convenient.

They're hardly animals stock.. i think a lot of people have driven both. Given that their both set up properly and similar power i doubt the differance is massive on the fun scale. Ewang scale is different.

Can you elaborate on the massive differances from your personal experience?

Ce lancers dont make choo choo sounds. You could easily be able to have as much fun in a gtst as a gtr... maybe more being rwd. You cant do that in a fwd ce lancer.

R33s are today's Commodore VN, the GT-R variants are like a Commdore VN SS - however with the recent pricing bubble, the GT-R variant is now seen as a super car.

I hate my R33 GTS-t shit box, but I never bought it to be a weekender, it was always destined to be a track car.

Ouch....

So far we've covered asthetics. Which no one can agree on... ever. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
We've also covered performance, which, depending on the driver, conditions, modifications and ease of accessability will always be different.
And then there's the argument for fun factor. Again completely subjective. Some people like straight lines, some corners other hard parking events. Fun is different to everyone.

Soooo I'm starting to think it might be that people like to argue and presenting half baked ideas as fact might be reinforcing that R33 owners are jerks.
Maybe if people weren't so black and white we could all agree that they're all cool cars, and are far more interesting than my Nans Corolla.

Also the only thing I'll add about VNs is I've never desired a VN before. I don't want it added to Forza or Gran Turismo... for some reason. [emoji848]

Some main differences between a R33 GTST Vs GTR.

- RWD vs AWD

- Single vs Twin Turbos

- Independent steering on GTRS

- RB25 vs RB26 (won't go into power ratios as everyone knows the main differences)

- Widebody flared aggressive GTR vs skinny/bloated GTST looks

- GTR has been racing seats, nicer trims and steering wheel but overall besides some gauges agreed that the rest are similar 

Of course if you throw a lot of money at a GTST or any car for that matter than it's going to be wickedly fast.

VN and SS CommoWhores would be a great addition to Forza Sport, GT and other racing games, what are you talking about? LOL

Er? GTS-t and GT-R both have that rubbish HICAS that everyone throws into the bin.

stock twins are terrible, laggy

I didnt, i keept mine on so not "everyone" removes it, and twins may look cool, its been proven that 1 turbo can out performes a twin turbo set up, more isnt always better

Everyone who actually tries to drive the car above 9/10ths removes HICAS, because its design intention is to make the car feel "sporty" at 7/10ths, but when you push to the limit it starts to fight the driver for control.  1990's computers/codes not up to the task.  Do not want.

I disagree, last night took mine out to a dead back road, launched from 3k revs very little tyre spin and it launched hard without an issue, redlined it through all the gears and drove quite freely and smoother around turns then my other car by far at high speed

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
