You shouldnt be arguing with your mates about performance if you drive a non turbo auto gts.. sorry.. Just dont do what the other hopeless losers do and bodykit it out as a GTR.

V8 sounds like a wet fart. RB26 sounds sweeet Sorry everyone, I guess i'm a fuel injected turbo kinda guy. But lets hear the sound bite anyway

Put down the crack pipe, guys. Seriously.

First of all, XR6T's are great because they are built by an Australian car company. I have a new opinion of Ford since they brought out this car. Someone in Ford was thinking. However I've read many articles from journalists saying the manual gearboxes are crap, and i've heard a lot more people complaining about problems their brand new XR6T have given them.. and the cars are barely a few years old! I've read quite a few threads even on this board about owners having major problems with cars still under Warranty. Second of all, leather is terrible up here in QLD and electric seats are for softies Of course 15 year old GTR's will have problems.. but I can tell you that most of them are still running on the original gearbox and engine. My car is stock standard.. still running on the same engine, clutch and gearbox as it was 16 years ago, my mechanic says its going great and if I leave it unmodified theres still heaps of life left in her. It's tight and has no rattles and has driven a whopping 179,000kms. I drive it (read: Really drive it hard) a couple of times a week up Mt Nebo and it is a very healthy, happy car. I'm not being a smart ass, its a geniune question.. How many 12 second cars have Ford made out of the box that can stand the test of time?

my 89 gtr doesnt rattle. the 2 year old cab I was in last night rattled to the shitter

Anyone can buy a car and mod the shit out of it. I'm sure I could build a hyundai excel up to be faster than your car. Is that a cool thing to do? no. The main reason is resale value. Lets be realistic for a second.. Sinking 10k of mods into a GTSt that you pay 25k for.. how much will you be able to sell this car after owning it for a couple of years? 17-18k? Maybe 20k if your really lucky? Or with the 35k you could have bought an r33 GTR.. how much could you sell that same car after the same period of time? Hmmm.. probably 35k, but listing it at 30 would get rid of it pretty damn quickly. Sure, the modified GTS-t may be faster or do cool burnouts, but I know which car would be more balanced and the more enjoyable steer. How many GTR's have you driven anyway?

GTS33SOM: 25k wont buy you a 33 GTR. Its evident from your avatar picture of your car that pulling girls and looking cool is far more important to you than how your car drives. Thats good for you. Saying a GTR is for people who cant drive is true.. people who arent very good drivers can jump behind the wheel of one and smoke your ass. That to me sounds like a pretty good car to buy. Imagine what a skilled driver can do with one?

Hi Guys, I originally bought this for my GTR, but due to a lack of funds and my wanting to put more of a focus on the 'go' than the 'show' on my car, it is up for Sale. This head unit has hardly been used and has not even been installed in a car for at least 6 months, since it was purchased new last year. I tested it out in the car and it is still working like a dream with not a single scratch on it. I'll copy and paste some info on the unit, and i'll post up some pics soon. The unit retails for about $3999. PulseTouch™ The IVA-D300's PulseTouch™ Display is easier to use than any other touch panel on the market. It uses different vibrations and pressures that simulates pushing a real mechanical button. When tapping, holding, sliding or touching where there are no commands, You get a different feel at you finger tips. Navigating The Menu locations and button positions for different components are always in the same place. This smart layout of buttons, together with their tactical response, ensures that users can quickly and easily find controls without even looking at the screen. The IVA-D300 can command a wide range of Touch Control Ready components, for easy control of an entire system. DVD Menu Direct Touch Control Unlike traditional screens that simply emulate remote control operation, forcing you to move a cursor to select what you want on the on-screen menu, then push a play button, DVD Menu Direct Touch Control allows you to simply touch the menu option directly to engage it. Since the options on different DVDs are in different places, this is the most intuitive and fastest method for controlling DVDs. Brightest Touch Panel Monitor With previous on-screen displays, images were in the form of 512 characters, for text display only. The IVA-D300 uses an additional ROM that contains 2,048 characters, including pictodata. This makes it possible to form high quality images that are nearly as those of the industry-leading IVA-D901. Features: • PulseTouch™ Display • 7" Fully Motorized Monitor • 50W MAX x 4/18W RMS x 4 High Power Amplifier • Dolby Digital/DTS Decoder Ready (Processor Required) • DVD-R/RW Compatible • MP3 and WMA Playback • MP3 ID3 Tag Information • Satellite Radio Ready • DVD Menu Direct Touch Control • iPersonalize™: Data Download, Amplifier Link, Bass Engine Plus™ (Subwoofer Level Control, Subwoofer Phase Selector, Bass Center Frequency Control, Treble Control , Treble Center Frequency Control, Bass Width Control, 2-Way Selectable Crossover, 3-Position HP/LP Crossover Control (12dB/oct.) 4 Ch, Adjustable Digital Time Correction, 4 Band Parametric EQ, Factory Preset EQ, Bass Focus, Bass Type Selection) • Visual EQ • MaxTune SQ Tuner • 3 PreOuts • iPod™ Interface Ready (KCA-420i) • Rear Camera Input • Navigation Input • 1 A/V Input • 1 Independant A/V Output • Navi Mix • MediaXpander • PXA-H701/MRA-D550 Touch Control Ready • Audio Signal Loop Ready This unit simply rocks and it is heart breaking to sell it. It is about a year old but has been hardly used and is still under Warranty and is in pristine condition. Ask anyone who is current with Car Audio and ask them if they think this is the best head unit on the market. I will consider all offers above $2k

Could all the kids in this thread please keep your erections down? Jesus christ.

These are the times i consistently see: Dead Stock sr20det s13 (silvia/180sx) - 14.5 secs Dead Stock r33 gts-t - 15.3 secs I remember when I had my s13 before the exhaust mod, I lined up against a friend in his modified r33 gts-t with fmic, exhaust and boost.. he was a bit ahead but could not pull away from me. We had another race when I got the 3" straight through system on and I left him behind by a couple of car lengths. Consequently all the gtst's I lined up against after that that did not have serious amounts of work done to them got smoked.. When your sitting behind the wheel they just feel bigger and heavier.

Do you think it was a white car that did it? Ask everyone at the party who was there if they can remember who rocked up just after you who drives a white car that has a new scrape on it. If you make a big deal about it and say if the owner doesnt own up you'll do a lot worse to them, news and rumours will spread fast and eventually you'll find out which scum did it.. Then you can kill them.

So typical of the v8 bogans to compare their 2004/5 technology to our engine from 1989 and in the end conclude that "Bigger is Better".. Knuckle draggers.

If the RB is supposedly the better engine, why does the SR cost 3x as much and in every other shoot out between the two engines always win?

that should come out fine mate as long as its not an amateur job.

Particularly when your used to only seeing the back of them! :Pimp2: :innocent: I think that the silvias, 180sx's and r33s all look fugly in stock standard form.. thats why people modify them right?

You think, and you are wrong. The 180sx in terms of performance, is quicker. And yep, dollar for dollar mods it is also better. Can the thread starter see any appeal in smoking every r33/v8/wrx etc you see at the lights with attitudes like this? It is what I loved about my s13 Buy a FMIC, 3" straight through, boost controller, then show them who the real men are :uh-huh: See if you can find a sr20det manual silvia instead. It's exactly the same as a 180sx. dewing it, debadge it and drop it.. then you'll have even more people thinking they are in a faster car than you. So much fun.

I've seen cops do crazy shit all the time. I remember seeing a patrol car packed with cops driving around like 18 year olds in a clapped out commodore on party night.. swerving around and just being dicks. They are human as well, of course they abuse their power. I would too if I was in their position. But then again thats why I chose not to be a cop.

zymotic is on the money. The silvia will smoke the shit out of both of these cars mod for mod.

Are they still power windows? Where are the controls now? Whats innit, Mister?

Now THATS A front bar, and an awesome GTR. Good work. Could you please tell me the name of that front bar/grill?

they are both awesome cars. The 180sx feels a lot more nimble and a lot more like a racy, fun as hell sports car.

If its of any consolidation, and I have limited mechanical knowledge on the topic, I've always felt that cars with stock bov's feel faster than those with aftermarket ones. Whats wrong with the stock BOVs?

poor car

Yes. The Boost Would Be The Same.
