Theyre fast. Have you seen the GTR (R32) vs. GTiR video? The GTR struggles to beat one. You can tell the driver is really pushing the GTR as its hanging its heavy ass out in every corner while the GTiR does them very neatly.

The GTR is faster but at what cost.

I mean cost as in the GTR had to be pushed to its limit to be faster around the track. Both stock cars.

The GTiR is light and fast but those are not the only reasons for choosing a particular type of car. Aesthetically it is unapealing. I have never been a fan of hatches. Its too small. The stereotype following GTiR drivers around is even worse than the Skyline stereotype. etc.

gtir's are quick, theres no doubt about that, but i can give you a few reasons why i went a gts-t.

- doesn't look like a jumped up hatch with a sikkk bonnet

- interior is less cheap in fit & appearance

- most of the parts are common across several models, where as the gtir has many specialised parts that can be hard to get.

- i like rwd street cars

- i like 4 doors

however, if i was going to get a strict track style car on the cheap then a gtir would be a good place to start

Yeah that says it all.

The GTiR is a light weight crude rough ugly little road rocket, great fun.

The GTR is a far better more solid and sophisticated road car in a completely different class.

If you are 20 get the GTiR. If you are closer to 35 the GTR probably has far more appeal.

ohhh phew..

lol i couldnt sleep last nite, cause i was half chopped by a GTiR.

I was at the lights at like 2am? and like i wasn't intending to drag him or anything, it was just that the road was to form one line, so like usual i just step on the pedal a bit, just enough normally to beat most cars ya know. I didnt see what car was next to me and i only saw it was some little box so i was thinking no problem! but OMG! first gear he was in front by a bit, den after second..it just went crazy....i was like ....wow....Altho i didnt really floor or push my car, but that's the first time i have been kicked like that in my r33

-_-;

at first i thought i got chopped by some lil mazda astina or some shit but at least now i feel beta that i got beaten by a much faster car =) *sighz*

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
