Is it just me or am I starting to see more and more r33 GTST's crusin around with GTR badges on them. On the way to work the past two days I have seen two different GTST's with them on. Im almost certain theyre not cause they dont have flared guards and one of them looked like they almost standard GTST width tyres on it and they both dont have the GTR body kit on them.

Whats with it, I cant understand why you would do it, the only people that will really appreciate the fact that its a GTR is a skyline enthusiast or for that matter a jap car enthusiast, who will also pic a fake a mile away.

Has anyone else spotted these fakes whilst out and about and what do you think about them, personally I just laugh my head off, I drive a GTST and proud of it and i wont lie I wish it was a GTR but its not so why pretend.

you really don't like em do you nex :P

haha I loved that thread, pity half the pics don't show up anymore.

It is also an example of how crap these people are, as it was complaints from the tossers and their fake GTR's that had the thread locked! :laugh:

good times :P

Ahahaha I dont think i would be proud to have a GTST with a GTR badge on... obviously the person is trying to state a point. Isnt the whole idea to beat GTR's? If that was the case I would be putting my GTST badges on!

I actually debadge my GTR for some time and its true.... some cant tell the difference. Get more races, get more tools.... lol

GTR or GTST ... still skylines, better than your commodores.

Yay Arbess!!! A GTR owner who gets it!!! Doesn't discriminate and doesn't judge. A Skyline is a Skyline. I hate hearing that crap about how us 'poor' GTS-T owners need to earn more money to get a GTR!! I Chose the GTS-T for my own reasons, and judging by the amount GTR owners have to spend to make more power, it is a clear cut win to the GTS-T crowd. There are more of us and there always will be, so get along or don't, your elitism is unwarranted and sad.

Sorry to all those GTR owners who do socialise with us, but most don't want to.

personally i dont descriminate any GTST owners at all, i do have respect for most of them ( some of their cars are faster than GTRs any way).

but putting a badge on is just stupid..........i saw one the other day, but he ran away from me. lol

I am one of the lucky few who have a foot in each camp.

I have a R33 GTR V-Spec in pristine condition that I use for my weekend toy.

I also have a very nice R33 GTS-T Series II that I use as my daily driver.

I love both of my Skylines with a passion (just ask the wife) and I appreciate each of them for what they are. They are two very different cars and I would never put a GTR wing or badge on my GTS-T because I am proud to own it as a GTS-T.

And on the seventh day God created the Nissan Skyline and to own one is like nothing else.........

Reason I bought a GTST is that it was about $10K cheaper than a 32 GTR at the time.

As time goes by that same money could buy me a 32 GTR with $5K left over now :thumbsup:

all good points ... still if you badge your car as something else other than it is, then be prepared to have fun made of you.

If you can handle being ridiculed and living a lie ... then all power to you.

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything
