R33 Gts-t VS R32 gtr

[217/r33]

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

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.

I have a GTR R32 so I might be a bit biased, but up in the mountains or on a race track only other GTR's are keeping pace. Its the corner exit that seems to be the killer, when the 4WD slingshots you out and the twins get onto boost. mmmmm

[217/r33]

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

im sure most people are aware you have 217rwkw by now...

Make sure you've got a large budget if you consider buying a GTR.

[GTRman1992]

I've never noticed any torque drop. It just gets on boost and pulls hard to redline.

[[[d a n n y]]]

RB26 pulls and pulls..

doesnt drop off.

Yeah the GTR's even in stock form are animals.

Even stock, I would have a fair guess and say they would mince your GTST, even with 207rwkw.

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

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)

[RB30-POWER]

What speed are you pulling in first gear @ 7500rpm in the GTR?

[Tommyk]

Not sure but it would be around 70 km/hr

at those revs i try to keep my eyes on the road

I think I need to hit the track soon

haha, so true.

thanks for all the replys

I also was wondering how would a compleatly stock gtr compare to an WRX Sti

i was in one the other day and its very very impressive power, pulls and pulls

[RB30-POWER]

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

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

As one of the other car add says and I'd agree. Drive one and feel the difference. Oh and the advice on having extra cash - Spot on.

With 217rwkw, do you get chopped by 180sx??? They are lighter so wouldn't need as much power to keep up.
