Hey guys

I was thinking of selling my gtst and buying a R32 gtr.

How does the gtr compare to gtst in performance, i have 217rwkw and it feels good, how will that compare to a standard gtr? Would handeling and suspension feel betar on the r32 gtr then the gtst?

With the car been so old now would there have to be alot of work done to it like a rebuild or new turbos ect?

How will they both compare all together?

thnx in advance :D

They say the GTR feels more like a race car. Also GTR's are AWD unlike the GTS-T which are obvisously RWD, you can config your GTR to be a RWD too. With a 15 y.o. car you should be changing some parts. Depends on the condition of the car too. I wouldn't be upgrading the turbo first, coz the turbo isn't really important. You can drive without a working turbo but u cant drive with dodge internals which are bound to fail. The GTRs' suspension is much different to a GTS suspension. GTRs' are harder, more for track racing.

yeah awd sure is great, but how would my r33 compare to stock gtr in proformance wise? (i have 217rwkw)

My concern is that the rb25det engnies have a massive drop in the torque strating from 3000rpm to 4500/5000rpm and all the manegments just seem to just move the drop or make it more smoother but never can get rid of it. Does the rb26dett have this drop. i was told that it doesnt?

thnx ;)

:D

I just bought myself a stock R33 GTR, and comparing that to my stock GTS-T, it pulls much much harder :P

It takes a bit longer before it gets up and going, but fark, once it starts, it pulls all the way to 8k. The GTS-T was a nicer drive around the city. With the GT-R, turbo's start spooling at 3, and are fully boosting @ 4.5k revs which is a bit high for my driving style. It is more of a race car than a street car, but I absolutely love it to death.

So to answer your question, there is no drop in torque once the GT-R gets into its powerband. It keeps pulling and all you want to do is keep your foot planted while you change gears. Mind you, the first 3 gears are pretty short (180 clicks) :D

Well a locally delivered WRX is detuned for aussie fuel, only has 195kw as compared to the Jap version that has 206kw. (Same as factory GTR)

So the GTR still has a minor power advantage.

I would say a stock GTR (in good health) would easily give an STI a run for its money.

Bit more boost pressure and an exhuast on the GTR and you should easily leave it behind.

Not being biased at all :P

A few other members here must have run into a few sti's in their time, should be able to tell us some stories :)

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
