Should I Bite The Bullet And Upgrade?

[ross80]

Hey fellas,

Im pretty new to this site so if ive f**ked up somehow with the way ive added this topic feel free to write me off.

Anyways, My R33 gtst has recently been fitted with a new rb25det 97 model motor. It has turbo back exhaust, front mount, k and n pod, boost to 12psi, dump and front pipe and a hi flow cat. KYB struts and hard coils and 235 reo40 tyres.

The question is how far off staying level with a stock r33 or r32 gtr it is? the reason I am asking is if it is a fair way off, I have the money ill piss it off and by a gtr.

So a bit of advice would be appreciated guys. what 400m time could i expect with these mods? high 13s?

Thanks again, This site is great im learning a lot from it

If you're going to modify a car up, you always start from the model that has all the bits you're not planning on replacing.

For Skylines, that's the GT-R since nothing else comes with the hydraulic ATTESSA and its way too expensive to retrofit it on a lower model. You don't necessarily need to look for a V-Spec or N1 if you're planning on replacing the brakes / turbo etc, but that stuff's bolt on compared to the drivetrain.

You might be able to keep up with a stock R32 / R33 GT-R (I'm assuming in a straight line, around the bends its still going to disappear on you), but good luck finding a stock GT-R on the roads.

If you are prepared to spend another $5k you can get some great fun out of your R33..

Don't buy an old 89/90 model GTR for $22k if that is what you are thinking. I wouldn't spend too much less than 30k to get a good R32 GTR

Go for a 33 GTR V-Spec mid to late 30's and you will never go back to a Gtst.

ive owned an 32 and 33 gtst and most recently had an r33 gtr. when the gtr was all stock except removed boost restrictor and HD clutch it ran 12.8@106. the gtst's i had, had mods similar to yours and would not even come close to the gtr.

as much as I loved the gtst's, once i sat in the gtr I knew that I would never go back... go the gtr if you can!

This topic sucks. Here I was considering doing cams and injectors on my Gts-t to get it to 260-270rwkw.

I want a GTR so bad. An R33 GTR. This topic makes me realise that teh GTR will neva loose and that my Gts-t is always going to be a pos.

Go the GTR

I had a 32 and 33 gts-t and the gtr in stock form shits all over it

When you modify it, its unbelievable.
