yeah, i was about to say INASNT that if we were to go to the track for a day, we would know what car we would take if given the choice of a RX-7 or a GT-T/GTS-T...aren't the 20B's like a huge step above the 13B's??

20b is triple rotor 13b twin rotor!

1 of my lecturers at uni has a series 4 rx7 with 20b twin turbo that runs on avgas and is a track animal! but he has spent ablout 100g on the thing!

Are u stupid. Firstly all Lambos have Rear mounted engines.

Secondly almost all Ferrari's have Rear mounted engines (F50, F30, 360. The only one that has a FR that comes to mind is the 550 Maranello

Thirdly Porsches are shit comapared to Ferraris and Lamborgines. Only the GT3 comes close.

:P :P :D

No, I'm not stupid. Ferrari's and Lambo's are mid mounted. Motor is mounted in front of the rear wheels. :D Rear mounted is motor mounted behind the wheels.

No need to get hyped up mate. I'm not saying Ferrari and Lambo's are crap. Put emotions aside and think....

If Porsche cars handle well, why don't Ferrari or Lambo do the same thing? Engineering costs. 911 didn't come overnight. It was a few decade thing. Same thing with Porsche, why didn't they make one mid mounted. Engineering costs.

Just for some unbiased info, I've a number of the Japanese Vids Best Motoring and they've run the GT-T against the RX7 and the as much as I love the GT-T, it didn't stand a chance, started at the front of the grid and after 5 laps was at the rear. It was against some serious cars though, RX7, NSX, Lancer GSR, WRX STi.

They also ran the RX7 against the GTRs R33 and R34 and in that particular race, they were all very even. All cars were dead stock.

TT RX7 is GTR pace, well the Jap S spec anyway.

yeah, GT-T not really in the RX-7 class....i had no idea how good they actually are until i started doing some research into them, pretty impressive, 1200kg and 206kw, brakes same as R32 GTR (but brakes better cos of weight), just an awesome car...but i think for a daily driver, just a bit too much i think...plus i'd be 20!! I think it's asking for a bit too much trouble.

i just happened to see a red one tonight, driving to a friends house.....i'll say it again PURE SEX!!!! It was low as anything, slight bigger rear wing than the standard one, it was dark but the wheels looked pretty shiny...i was on a 60 road, but it had pulled over on the side, so i slowed to 30 and cruised passed to get a look, nearly hit a parked car!!! :P But it was worth it....looks damn fine.

No doubt that rotars can produce great results, one of my mates has a Series 3 RX-7 with a 13b that runs low 11's, cost him like $12,000 or something ridiculous, but when you turn around and find out he's spent $80 in fuel, one night cruising, it makes you think.

Have you ever seen a rotary drag meeting though ? Like the Jamboree ? The amount of stoppage time due to oil on the track is a bitch, oh yeah, my mates also selling his car cause he's sick of all the money and time it keeps to maintain it.

Although on the plus side, the Series 6 is definately a dead sexy car, great performance package, but as far as any sense of practicality goes, i don't know.

i think u've got it there Birty, practicality wise, not the better choice if the other option is a R34 GT-T, perhaps maybe for the car after the GT-T. But by then, i'd prob be tempted with a GTR....oh and the RX-8 be out then too.....decisions, decisions :P

The whole reason i started this thread was to get an idea of what i should do when next November comes and i've got money to burn....and thanks to everyone for replying, u've made the job a hell of a lot easier, and i hope to be joining the Skyline ranks next November, R34 GT-T with a full R34 GTR body kit on the car too, it'll look identical (except the guard flares) and NO badges, if it ain't a GTR, doesn't deserve a badge...well that's what i think. But i've been informed that it can be done, so hopefully it'll look the goods

once again, thank you everyone for ur opinions...

i'll leave u with a little (well it's rather big) pic i found....pretty much a picture of my dreams at night.....enjoy! :P:D

Get both! Get an r33 for a daily driver (say $20k) and import an RX7 'for race use only' like this one...92 model $16.5k

Have a nice Skyline AND a cool track car :P

Adds up to the same price as an R34

:D :D :D

hehe just an idea :P

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
