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

  • 1 year later...

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.

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
