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*

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
