Id take a 35K gtr and poor 10k into it.

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

Either way really.

I think its a stupid question the GTR vs GTst thing but:

I love GTRS however, 26k spent on a gtst will kill a GTR track, drift, drag, whatever, aslong as the money is correctly spent.

A. Gtst is lighter then GTR

B. Upgrade Suspension and R Tyres or slicks, add roll cage and Gtst will handle better then GTR

C. Strip interior to be even lighter

D. Engine is no where near as modifiable as Rb26, however spend 15k on the engine to aim aroun 300rwkws.

This would destroy a standard or lightly modded R.

Obviously spend the same on the R and the Gtst would not have as much of a chance.

i had a r32 gtr

was a fun car and i drove it ocasionally quick(track, drift, rally)

anyway i sold it for a gts becasue gtr's are boring!!!!!!!!! :wassup:  

sure there better, sometimes faster, and all that crap......

so what do ya do you take the gtr motor and stick it in your r31(yea baby!!!!!!!!!!!! :P )

and ive said it before my mum could drive my gtr as fast as i could where as my r31 you have to tame the beast to drive it fast

her is some stats the gtr lapped 0.5 seconds quicker in 4wd around Oran park south compared to when it was in 2wd and it was alot more fun in 2wd

lol

The "foxy" charade look like more fun than any of your cars.

Also worth noting is most people who own GTRs tend to have a larger budget for mods etc than GTSt owners, simply because of their financial situation in life (them being late 20s to early 30's with a good paying job, investments and property).

wheras GTSt owners tend to be sub 25 yr olds who have a spend as you earn lifestyle (icluding me).

but then again thats a very broad generalisdation. and we all hate being pigeonholed.

So realistically speaking, a GTR owner should be able to afford more powerful upgrades to their car than a GTSt owner can. Unless you have an affliction to park your car in bus-stops.

This thread is ridiculous, as is this generalisation.

I've chucked a GTR around a U turn at 60 and I've chucked a modified GTSt around that same turn... just on that experience I'd buy the GTR.

Not having a shot...justy a different perspective...why would you buy a GTR based on this? I doubt the 4WD would have kicked in, which brings you back to suspension balance and mechanical grip.

With the suspension being so similar between the two cars, and remembering that GTRs , especially VSpecs have much firmer/sporting suspension, dont go lending too much credit to the factt that it was 4WD/GTR.

actually it was a VSpec... hmmm. It just felt a whole lot better through the curve of the turn, and coming out of it was where the AWD made that lasting impression on me.

And adrian, i did state that it was a broad generalisation, obviously there are a lot people who dont fit it.

My personal opinion is that i would prefer a modded GTS-t...

Or in my case my GTS-R...

I've spend about as much on my car as what a stock R33 GTR sells for.

But my car IMO, once complete my car should be quicker than a stock GTR.

To get the GTR to the level my car is, would mean a few EXTRA $$$ spent on the GTR ontop of the buying price. Extra $$$ that i definately aint got anymore :P

But i also prefer constant RWD, and the feed-back. I've driven an R34 GTR and it felt really heavy. Where my car feels a lot lighter and i get more feed-back through the wheel etc.

Each to thier own.

I love my T but would go the R in that situation. Not too interested in 1/4 or drift more into track. Mainly also cos it would be my daily driver and a stock R would be better behaved I would think on the street than a highly modified yet faster T.

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.

Id be willing to place a small wager the thing was in RWD all the while you were going "WOW check the grip!"

Firmer susp std, wider rubber std, reasonably late model car with susp that is in good nic with regards to bushes and alignment etc etc.

I have been in a few R33 GTRs around circuits, and the torque gauge doesnt move near as much as i expected. Then i have been in an R33 GTST, and it was easily the equal of the R33 GTRs i have been in for handling and feel, but ultimately the grip level may have been a little less then one particular modified R33 GTR, otherwise it even had as much grip as the other GTRs.

hey b-man you've sure stirred things up here :D

my bet is that a GTSt with $36k of mods (money well spent) would kick *any* stock car, teh mighty GTR included.

But, if I knew I had $45k to spend I'd buy a $20k gtst and a $10k r32 gtr with $15k of mods.

Oh, hang on, I did :P

He he - if I had the $$ I'd love a $45K GTR and then spend another $26K worth of mods.

That would give me a weapon GTR and out of pocket $71K

But if I only had $45K to spend, and I wanted an R33 Skyline - for Drag/Track/Drift - I'd choose a GTS-t - cause teh GTS-t can never loose. :P

The truth hurts hey......

PS - It's all good :D

We all love Skylines :)

:):rofl: :rofl: :D:)

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
