I'm reading this UK 'jap car' magazine which has an interesting article with some GTR's vs GTiRs..

The fastest car of the lot was a heavily, heavily modified GTR, but second place was the 'least of all modified car', it was a reasonably standard Gtir, and the only mods it had where breathing + exhaust mods with a boost increase.

It was pulling 11.7sec passes!

Cant wait for my GTiR which has arrived to be complianced.

Or even quicker,

I know several people who have pulled a low 12 with exhaust/filter/intake in a GTiR

I have a GTR with exhaust and a GtiR with exhaust.

There is more lag on the GTR which slows the SS400.

there is only about ($20,000) and 0.2 of a sec advantage in the GTR.

After 400 metres the GTR keeps flying the Gtir takes a lot longer to get to 200Km/hr plus.

The GTR has better torque which is what keeps it pulling and gives it abetter time around a track.

The GTir has 250 kg less weight.

It takes more than boost, exhaust and intake to get into 11 secs on both cars.

BUT, A GTiR is the most fun car to drive on this planet. It is like a go kart and even at low speeds feels incredibly fast.

So it is correctly dubbed son of Godzilla, (Unlike the Aus spec 200sx which is its poofy half brother)

LOL (flame suit on)

The only problem with the GTiR is the gearbox is fragile. I don't think it would last that long if you were pulling consistent 11's. However get it replaced with something better (expensive) and the rest of it is pretty bulletproof and cheap to get into the 11's.

yeah i know, when i was car shopping it was either a gti-r or a 33GTS-T :D i decided the skyline over the GTI-R mainly because the GTIR is so damn ugly and the Skyline is so damn sexy :mad:

also when people ask what car do u have its much better to say skyline than pulsar :)

Well i guess you will be very disappointed after u get your gtir and do the same mods and cant get anywhere near the same 1/4 time. Dont believe everything your read in a magazine.

I agree with INASNT...

Im sure this car did the 11.7 - probably with breathing mods (remove everything up to the throttle body), exhaust mod (remove it !!) and a slight boost increase (say 10 psi +), and maybe some slicks.. :bs!:

Although, im sure it wouldnt be constant, and it wouldnt be doing it again soon...

    • I got a full sheet set of OEM copied stickers to replace all the faded engine bay ones, great quality too.  Came from England. Someone like that should be able to to make u up what u want so long as u have a quality image to show them 🤷🏻‍♂️
    • Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?
    • And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!
    • And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.
    • Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).
