Take one 1995 R33 GTR - $45K

 

Take one 1995 R33 GTS-t $19K and then spend $26 in mods on it.

Hrmmmm $26 in mods will buy me 1 bottle of Motul RBF600 brake fluid to flush myself......

yep!! definately a GTR killer!!! :P:D

I would luv to take an R on a hill climb round Mt Glorious/Nebo. Plenty of fun in the T though still. Thats were I think both the T and the R come into their own twisty hills. Not that I'm a hillclimb expert nowhere near just comparing to my previous 4 cars. Point is i think the R would be even better in this (my favourite type) road situation.

Interesting actually .. of course i wouldn't know where you are talking about.. but if say i did :) ... whilst of course the GTR go nicely, its not like the modified GTS-T can't keep up or are left behind. In the end it all comes down to driver skill, and of course having a car you know how it behaves helps.

And this suspension stuff is nonsense, as who really keeps the stock suspension in either a GTR or GTS-T. To me there is no inherant differences in the actual geometry after all (?? correct me if wrong). It can be a VSPEC GTR or whatever it likes, and they come with strut bars and nicer factory suspension.. but upgrading these things on a lowly GTS-T to aftermarket (probably much better than GTR stock) and they start behaving a lot more nicely and being almost as "point and shoot" as a GTR (i'd imagine). The GTR does only pass drive to the front on loss of traction after all...

Make the GTS-T lose as little traction as possible, bump up the torque a little (what people are talking about with the GTR "pushing them back in their seat" is mainly torque I'd imagine.. helped by the twin turbos), eliminate lag as much as possible in the GTS-T coming from just the single turbo and the differences become thinner and thinner.

Or you'd get your mummy to buy you a GTR and then proceed to demolish a bus stop with it....

Imagine that

Gtst = bmw 318i

GTR = bmw m3

And this is the Bmw "3 Series" forum and the 318i guys are arguing that mods spent on their 318i will make a better m3 .. m3 guys are arguing that 318i could never be as good as the m3!

Now imagine how stupid that would look. How much you would laugh at the idiots..

Thats what most of you guys are looking like now :)

No we are all dancers in gay bars, the pay is rich as..............and since we don't drink, take drugs, or chase loose women, we have heaps of money to spend on fancy internet connections and lots of time to invade specialist forums and corrupt young minds

Jeez, I hope I wasn't frivilous, this topic is way too serious for that.................

This thread is shit. Normally I would have sprung to the defence of the GTS-t boys, having been a GTS(+t) boy myself. But no matter how fast I went, or how much money I spent, or what other cars I had that were faster (ie my t518z 180) they just weren't a GTR. My Cefiro could pull eyes away from 34GTR's, but it wasn't a GTR. I wanted a GTR. I bought a GTR and I wouldn't change it for the world. They need to be driven hard to be appreciated, those who have seen mine down Nebo will know exactly what I mean.

Why have a different GTS-t set up for 3 styles of motorsport when you can have a 32GTR that can cope with them all? Now that's value for money.

Enough flamage guys ok?

Group Hug.

On a side note, I think this is only the second thread in history I have agreed with Merli. Weird...

This thread isn't about "coping" it's about excelling. The question has been answered - the answer is GTS-t.

      Original window sticker?

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
