Autospeed has a well known grudge against R32 GTRs. His articles are as biased as they come.

He wrote the review based on his aussie spec R32 GTR.

I would say that autospeed are the least biased motor journalists around. They write as they see it. If it sucks in a certain area they write it and if it excels in others they report on it also.

(Ive been overseas for 3 months, cant wait to get back to catch up on the latest issues of speed etc.)

I tend to agree with Sewid on this one.

I can't see the point in many of these threads that compare new cars (or at least a car which is a number of years newer) to "stock" skylines. It is common knowledge to everyone that GTR's were de-tuned and speed limited when they left the factory. Just about everyone that owns a GTR has modified it since they got it or are driving a previously modified car. I know myself that as soon as I made a number of basic modifications, I had a completely different car. On thinking back, when I first drove my car stock, it was fairly lame in the performance stakes. Like many GTR's it is under constant (or at least as constant as my wallet allows) development to make it quicker, faster and more durable.

STI's ARE bloody quick straight out of the box. I don't think they are generally quicker than GTR's though, but on some tracks they will win out. My personal opinion is that GTR's are faster and quicker, but it seems pointless comparing stock to stock, as in its original form (GTR's were hamstrung when they were released).

Stock r34 vs Stock Sti 05....

Id put the money on the GTR....

I have driven the stock 05 wrx (non-sti) it was fun i agree. But if you watch the speed its not really picking up that fast at all... My gts-t has more pick than a stock wrx hands down every time.... My gf would probablly beat one in her stock s15.... Thw wrx has a cult following like the skyline. But they need to relize one day that they are driving a "subaru" and then they will understand why they look like tools. LOL

Nah just kidding.... WRX, EVO, GTR, RX7 all good.... Id own any of them.

Just prefer the GTR due to its 'proven' bathurst wins...

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      I'm not a big fan of the Cometic gaskets either, as above the head and deck need to be like a mirror (can't remember the RA) so Kamieri sounds like a good idea.  FWIW a mate of mine hordes old motor stuff and has some blank unground Nizmo cams for one of these in his supply if random shit if you're interested.
