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 :)

      Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.

      Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.

      That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      Was that deliberate?
