I currently have a black r32 gts-t and would LOVE to put mods onto it.. however, would i be better saving for the gtr and then doing mods? or are the gts-t's just as nice to do up? anyone for advice, im quite stuck in the middle with wat to do.. thanks guys.

How old are you? - serious question, as a GTR insurance will probably kill you if you are under 25.

I would suggest if under 25, stick with the GTS-t for now, mod it a bit, but don't go crazy on it, just do enough to keep yourself happy. Then when the time comes, sell the GTS-t without too much invested and buy a GTR

Why are teens too desperate for the 'my dick is bigger than yours' game?

The money you'll save not having to insure a GTR will get you some nice mods on the GTS-t, or for the GTR later.

Insurance isnt a problem if his already full comp insured anyways - its only a few hundred in difference(going by Just Car's quotes)... it'll be more the maintenance and cost of stuff that goes bang that would shred his wallet to bits.

Stick to the GTSt, do some basic cost-effective mods, exhaust, cooler, boost control, chipped ecu, suspension (in approx that order) and learn how to drive well with 160RWKW to start. You'll be quicker than 95% of what's out there and not broke.

After that, better turbo with a FPR and you're set for 200RWKW. Much more and you start to affect the drivability of a RB20.

PERSONALLY,

i would get the GTR. Save your money for something you really want. Absoloutly nothing wrong with a GTST though.

i just love 32 GTR's, yet i own an R33 gtst becuase i love them too

[gtrkiet]

gtr = double the money compare to modding a gts-t lol but yea GTR for the win! and insurance for a GTR is only 350 third party and 2.8k for full comp from just cars, thats what just cars quoted me and thats wen i was 18.

Get a ba xr6

[JDM032]

DONT GET A FORD.

if u got a gtst, buy a gtr front cut and drop the motor and gearbox in and leave it rear wheel drive.

half the cost, same insurance price, and more fun.

plus gtst are just as much fun as gtr, and with the rite stuff can be just as good.

but get urself sum really really good suspension parts first.

[cruzin33]

putting a rb26 in to a gts-t is a big wast of time and all the laws that come along with it. I would just keep the gts-t and do some basic mods rb25turbo,pod,zurst,ebc,fmic and you will be more then happy.

[ANGRYMANR33]

all the comments above should help u but have u driven a all wheel drive what do u like better maybe rear wheel only suits ur driving style?is it just the looks of the gtr that u want or the engine ect ect

[benny_blanco]

Honestly drive your GTS-T the way it is dont worry bout spending another cent on it, its just going to drop in value anyway with the market flooded, any mods will just mean more money you loose when you go to sell it as there are plenty of modded 33's available.

Wait till your 21+ by that time 32 GT-R's would have dropped in value again which will give you more money for mods and speeding tickets.

+1

you only live once, if u can afford a GTR, go for it

[nos man]

well right now i'm sticking to my r33 gtst! gonna keep it and go for r33 gtr, although i could get one now but i rather not! i rather learn how to drive my current car and then look at upgrading after i'm comfortable with it! it'll be more exciting when you learn how to properly drive your car and then jumping into something similar with better brakes, better traction and more torque!

well that's my opinion and what i'm doing anyway!

[Krishy]

i think that you should wait for a GTR and do up some basic mods for your gtst....exhaust, intercooler and maybe a ebc and a retune and you will be a lot happy once you get some decent power by doing that also boost it up to around 10-12 psi and that should be good for a while....keep it like that and enjoy it and save for a GTR for later mate.....i am more then happy with the performance of my r33 gtst and would be nice to have a GTR but happy with the gtst....

my 2cents worth

[HOSTILE]

All good advice above... and most of us have been in the same boat.

It took me 16 years to be able to afford my GTR... and now that I have one I love it .....but it mostly sits in the shed.

For a young guy I definitely would say mod the Gtst without going nuts.

I had one for six years with 200rwkw and it was a reliable great fun and daily driven car. That is the SMART choice.

A GTR is a great car but does require expensive parts and maintenance, especially at the age most are now.

Enjoy....

haha famous last words... have you had any driver training ect? or just think you can handle a bucket load more power?

sorry to sound rude but i have seen it before younger guys saying i need something faster then 2 weeks later i hear of them hitting tree's poles ect.
