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....

Either way really.

huh ? how on earth can you smash into a busstop at the drags ? fill me in because i havnt been in these forums for too long just a month or two i think it has been.

your exactly right. and also right about the vanishing part.

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.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
