its quite simple, nissans goal for the GTR was coming up with a homolgated street vehicle that could be successfully raced with minor modifications.

LOL...I wasnt aware that Grp A Touring cars was production car racing :P

They had far more then minor modifications...but i know what you mean.

Its up to the individual...i would love to have GTR toy car, but there is no way i could afford to do what i like to do with my car if i owned a GTR...so it will be different for everyone.

I dont think there is any real argument... the GTR is simply the better car.

Personally i could never own an R34 GTR, having seen the amount of attention they attract, i just couldnt own it....and i have little brother syndrome, i like trying to show up the bigger brothers, may only happen once in a lifetime, but me and my 2.0L will take that moment to my grave :P

But if you ask any owner of a GTR they will tell you that it's a money pit.

ask any owner of a Nissan Skyline and they will tell you its a money pit... not maintance wise but eventually that modifying bug hits you and your pockets are the first thing that gets in infected :)

:lol: not doubting it **JaR**! But GTST owners are better off than GTR owners when it comes to modifying.

I heard you have to be careful if changing the rims with a GTR because it screws with the HICAS/ATTESSA is that true?

lol yeah that i'll agree with, simply coz its got a GTR badge prices are nuts :(

i dunno about rim sizes affecting hicas/attessa?? wouldnt changing rim sizes only affect the speedo reading like on any other car?

yes the 4wd system goes funny when the wheels are not same size allround

Yes i agree GTR's are a money pit..

there is so much u can do to these things that make it go bezerk

i have driven 32/33/34 GTST'GTT/GTR's

there is no doubt that the GTR is a superior allround car.

responds extremely well to basic tune ups.

but as every1 says breaking a RB26 is what us GTR owners fear the most

Break a RB20/25 ??? easy just go out and buy another 1

break a RB26????? not as simple for starters they cost 6-7 G's just the engine it self no turbos and add ons etc

but in the end

i'll never buy a GTST unless it was a 4 door :(

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
