For an R32 - would you take a stock GT-R, or a GTS-t that had enough performance and styling bits thrown at it to make up the price difference? Let's say you were just buying them as is, with no intention of modifying the GTS-t any more, or the GT-R at all.

That's about $10000 worth of mods . . . what's your opinion?

with the money you spent on a gtr u could get a good gts-t and do a shit load of mods and get it going heaps better then a gtr, if you do everything properly.

that is if u didnt do any mods to the gtr.

dare to be different i say!

This is something im thinking about every day.

Currently i have a 32 GTST that is modded in every way, nothing is realy stock except my seats. Has 235rwkw, full suspension upgrade, new rotors/pads, body kit, wheels etc. Probably spent, well i better not add that up ill scare myself. It goes hard, stops and turns and is great fun to drive. But not good enough yet.

Im thinking either RB25, bigger turbo etc and get about 270rwkw with huge brakes and a totally stripped r32 to keep the weight down OR get a GTR and do some mild mods with new sus brakes to make a killer street/thrash car. A gtr will be quicker on the street you would think due to traction and would be a nicer car to drive daily. the only thing i dont like is when you open the bonnet and there is crap eveywhere, that and if something breaks it will cost a lot more money.

Depends on which you mean. I would only consider the "33" types. For some odd reason I've taken to the 33 over the 32/34 besides the fact it has the most boring interior and arguably the most staid exterior.

Eventually I'll have a 33 GT-R but it seems like an odd upgrade over the 33 GTS-t. It'll be faster in every respect but it won't be as 'fun' to drive, it'll use even more fuel (!!!) and it'll set new standards in extortionate repair and performance bills.

I don't contemplate looking at the same interior again...

T.

i would definately go the GTST with 10k in mods.... drop an Rb25det in it... bigger turbo... fmic... ECU... boost... suspension brakes and tyres... if theres anything left over then work on the exterior

After owning a stock GTR and a fully worked GTS-t, I choose the GTR hands down.

It really is no comparison. The GTR makes such a lot of torque so easily, and is a much nicer car to drive... ATTESA is a godsend too... No point in making 300rwkw if you struggle to put it down and get stomped by stock GTRs off the line...

Given your wording, it could be suggested that the lower-spec has been modded in every way - so every department is up to GTR quality (and god knows how much money that would take?! - a HELL of a lot more than $10k even in canadian $$). Then you essentially have a GTST and GTR with the same performance and luxuries. If both were essentially equal, why would you take the GTST?? (less prestige, less resale value, and so on)

Would I take a GTR over a GTST with $10k thrown at it? Of course.

    • (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.
    • Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things 
    • Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..
    • I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
