But when you look at Porsche>>>how many 911 models are their....and BMW and Audi......this is a missed Oppt....because in the 400 to 450 HP range there are only european cars....but no japanese cars and the model I am speaking of would sit that stop perfectly........just my...lonely two cents...LOL

Nissan/Renault will do whatever is profitable or cost effective for them over filling niches in a niche market

porsche don't make cheap econoboxes. Horses for courses

Cool vid nonetheless

Put simply, the GT-R has always had two turbos and four wheel drive.

If it was an R35 Skyline, there may be the option for a rear wheel, single turbo. But because we're talking about a GT-R, not a Skyline per se, it will always have two turbos and four wheel drive.

Guess we should tall all those C10, C110, C210 owners that they don't own a real GTR?

Oh wait, skylines didn't exist before 1989 ;)

I watched this a few months back. And just by the way the cars were lined up it was pretty obvious what the outcome was going to be.

Classic "V" formation. Looks pretty for the cameras. Like the do in Olympic swimming. lol

The GTR did great over the quarter mile, but we could quickly see the Italia was gaining on it. Another 100m and the Italia would have overtaken.

The same video magazine does in car lap comparisons at Leguna Seca - youtube it :)

The GTR is the best bang for buck package. They are so cheap OS compared to here they are the logical choice. You could nearly buy 2x GTRs in the USA for the cost of one here!

US MSRP $89,950 USD, used, 50-60k for a 2009 model.

Porsche 911 Turbo is only $139,000 USD new, compared to $400,000 k here.

You mean the 370z? If that's the case then the 370GT would be more approapriate wouldn't it?

He was (and I'm sure you've assumed) figuratively speaking. Nissan made a conscious decision to keep the 'Nissan GTR' as a seperate entity from the Skyline legacy, despite being a spiritual successor.

The 370Z has filled the void of the relevant Skyline GTS-T model at this time, since nissan has decided that V6's and not straight 6's are the way to go. In relative terms of performance and price compared to Skyline generations past, I'd say it's about a par.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
