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

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
