If you have money to modify the Rb26 and replace all the consumables Nothing beats the GTR, Eg; I bought a VERY clean 94" R32 GTR in 2006, At the time it was 12 years old, 70,000km on the odometer, PRice tag was 29,990 As i knew the owner of the car yard price dropped to 23k Which for that time was very good for the type on condition the car was in. Anyways since then i have spent 20-25k on the car. But let me tell you something interior is practically brand new body brand new and engine is almost brand new, let not forget With MUCH more power. 330awkw which is a safe tune, only 18psi. Bottom end is still in great condition and its still fully stock. Soon to come Forged everything and 380-400awkw and that should be enough for me, Should make it into the 10sec 1/4 which is what im after. An immaculate car inside and out, Big stereo system fully air con. !0 sec machine. Cant ask for more should total bill with the car included will probably come to 50-70k not sure yet as its a slow working progress, But for what it is and how it goes, its a bargin. FYI its my weekend car no way ill drive it everyday of the week. Too much petrol if you put the foot down alot and beleive me its just too tempting to put the foot down all the time, not good for oz laws lol

for 70k I can think of a few cars I would rather have over a 20 year old GTR

Eg Brand new FPV F6 = 60k drive away + 10k in mods = GTR left behind

Lol 70k on a GT-R ? Pull the other one, buy a beautiful condition specimen for 30k, spend 40, destroy the exige... Lol 70k on a GT-R and Lol at spending 70k on an FPV.

go read what I was reply too numb nut

Edit - that sounded a bit mean lol.

That is what he did, bought 23k GTR spent 40-45k

so its a 70k GTR

I know what you said dude, lol, my point was for 70k you should have a very fast GT-R, let's say much faster then a 70k FPV.

Let's face it, an FPV is just a tricked up Falcon. Good bang for your buck but that's pretty much where it ends.

and the GTR isnt a tricked up 4 Door R32.

Besides speed isnt everything...which one would you rather drive on holidays, cranky 20 year old GTR or 6 month old falcon?

The difference between a Falcon and an FPV pale in comparison to the differences between a non GT-R and a GT-R skyline.

Also, an R32 is produced as a sport car from the factory there is no base model that is just an A - B sedan, even the NA Auto ones are technically :P a sports car, because you are right, it's not just all about speed.

And I would rather drive a cranky GT-R over an FPV anywhere, I am a masochistic individual though.

for 70K .. id get a 34 gt-r .. or a porsche

or this http://www.carsales....id=12F1908D48F0

:D

*edit* yeah i'd take a 32 gt-r over an FPV .. I just like the looks of the 32

Edited by Jonno34

This little argument just just how useless threads like these are.

Just like people go on and on about how good R35s are....I still hate the f**king things

Yeah pointless exercise, But I'de rather have GT-R over an FPV even though I have nothing against the falcon.

Anyway, haters gonna hate Lol.

Oh c'mon now, we are comparing gtr vs evo not gtr vs pulsar.

I think both the evo and gtr engines would be pushed just as hard in rpm and gforce.

If their were solutions that didn't require the engine to come out why do we get so many spun bearings?

lol your drunk arnt ya, you reckon you could have 70k worth of gtr and a New FPV would leave it behide..... mate your off your head, i paid 20k for my nismo edition, if i spent 50k on it, there wouldnt be anything sub 500k that would have a chance on leaving it behide, in street trim a gtr with the right mods and abit of money spent, is the ultimate street car, the motive DVD drag challenge prove's it time and time again, 50k on a gtr will get you well into the 10sec mark, and theres not many FPV or HSV that will run those times in street trim, i mean 18inch wheels nice sounds system, the lot.

i raced a FPV F6 with a exhaust and a chiped ecu, and ate it up with my baby 300rwkw.... i would have blowin his windows out with 400-450kw..... think about it

I actually really like falcons but the gt-r is something special :)

plus my 63kg self would look silly in a falcon sized car

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
