no expense? gtr will be quickest except maybe for drag. Ultimately the 4wd traction is worth more than the weight penalty.

But in the real world with real budgets its not hard to get a gtst to keep up with a gtr, cheaper to get power out of a gtst and it is lighter in the first place. They have the same suspension setups/potential and can run nice big tyres for traction

Can you strip the car? How far can you go. Is it to be a daily driver?

I would say R32 GTR. Cheapest. Has all the ticks for the building blocks of a good car.

Strip as much weight out of it as possible. Carbon doors, keep alloy bonnet and guards. Throw a strong RB26 in there with a solid 380awkws from something like KHS 2530s running 1.5bar. Throw a strong 5spd with close ratios in it. Also beef up the transfer case

Then wire up the R33 ATTESSA system/sensors/computer so that the thing has a little more smarts and controls the AWD system a bit better.

Then throw some nice suspension at it, with some nice 355mm brakes on the front. That is the shopping list i have for an R32 GTR, but simply cant afford. It woudl cost a small fortune. But would run 10 secon qtr miles and if driven well would be a very quick track car. And if you keep the aircon and basic interior, and colour code all the carbon could still be used reasonable day to day as a road car.

So do you think that a GTST/ GTT could be made faster than a GTR for the drag strip? interested really because some of the faster cars wol;d have very little pressure on the front wheels anyway wouldn't they?

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
