Fellow skyline owners..

I think the time has come for me to upgrade to a GTR. To be honest i've never driven one before and I've had my GTT for a while now.

The one that I'm lookin at is stock standard VSpec with an exhaust and intake upgrade.

Sorry for the noob question. But I've read forums where people were not happy with the GTR initially and they spend some money on upgrading the turbos and boost controller etc..

How much difference is there between a midly modified GTT (blitz intercooler, kakimoto exhast, greddy profec b spec boost controller set at 11psi and HKS intake & bov) and a stock Vspec GTR

I dont want any regrets later for spending so much

- That's a good starting point, considering you have never driven one.

- Stick to the stock air intake if you can and the exhaust is a good upgrade.

- GTR owners all have different preferences.

- Depending on what you want to use the car for will determine what mods you want.

- They are 2 totally different cars, RWD vs 4WD / 2.5lt vs 2.6 / Single Turbo vs Twin Turbo / different Weight of cars.

- A stock R34 GTR runs about 10.9 - 11 PSI.

- What's the condition of the R34 GTR V-Spec you looking at?

Stock R34 GTR's can seem sluggish at first, this is true...

i went from R33 GTST -- > V35 --34 GTR V-spec.

Until the turbo upgrade was done and tuned to 300AWKW - to me it seems slower than, what people assume from a GTR.

Ofcause as GTR's go - there is no such thing as enough power...

Its mint condition.

My doubts were right then, performance per dollar won't be very satisfactory.

People who dont know much about skylines wont notice any diffference if I change to the GTR lol. Cos both the GTT and GTR are white and have black mags.

Put it this way, if you buy the R34 GTR V-Spec already with the aftermarket exhaust:

- Upgrade the turbo's to Garrett -7's

- Get a set of Adjustable Cam Gears (fine tune the timing) or if you mechanic knows what they are doing and can modify your stock cam gears to make them adjustable.

- Upgrade ECU to an APex'i Power FC

- Set boost to about 1 Bar (14.7 PSI)

- Dyno Tune

You will see about 300 rwkW's, a nice number for the street.

You won't have to change the intercooler / air intake / BOV / fueling system as GTR running gear is capable of handling the power.

I went from a GTT (mild mods) to my GTR. Biggest thing was the weight and power delivery seemed a lot more linear compared to the very light shove in the back I got with the GTT. Haven't looked back though - as has been stated, 300kw is easier to achieve and will be stronger.

As its been said a stock gtr is a little sluggish but:

Add in mild mods and it comes alive and mild mods will net you 300kw atw with ease.

The gtr has no traction issues, so it feels quicker with its power delivery (with mild mods)

People certainly know the difference between a gtt and gtr. The gtr demands presence on the road wherever it goes

I would never even think about getting a gtt now after owning a gtr, they are something else.

If you want to talk about bang for buck and being happy, I know pplenty of GTRs (including mine soon) that will destroy an $800000 aventador..... Have never met an unhappy aventador owner. Same as I have never met an unhappy GTR owner wishing they spent less money on a gtt.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
