Gtr Vs Gtst Huge Difference In Performance?

sorta off topic... but what about drifting a 32 GTR in RWD?

mmmmmm.......GTR is little bit two heavy for fantastic drifting (Of course it weighs more than the GTS-T).

[im late]

My 2 cents on the thread topic..

GTR > GTS-T (and no before you think, this is not a biased comment it is a factual one).

I owned a R32 GTS-T way back when I was 20. It was my first "performance" car and I loved it.

But after having owned now two GTR's they just do not compare at all. They make look (exterior-wise) very similar, but thats where similarities end..........

On the track there are some GTSTs that can keep up with the GTRs. However, ask those GTST owners how much they spent on their car before they can catch up with the GTRs.

It really depends on how much money you can input into your car. Whoever has the 'dough' wins the race.

i hate gtrs. i hate gtr owners. reason why is because i dont have one

[dano4127]

GTR that is all.

[boostin_r33]

How bout the upkeep on a gtr? Ive read in magazine's they are very expensive to keep and to look after? also if your motor go's your lookin at a 10,000 rebuild ofcourse with forgies! but do you need money even just to own one without modification?

[rev210]

Owned a few of each type and the GTR is very clearly faster end of story.

GTR's do have the potential to cost $$$ if something major goes wrong. But so does other high performance cars.

The RB26 motor is not made out of paper. It is one of then most well built motors that ever came out of Japan. If you buy one that has been looked after and then you look after it yourself (i.e. don't thrash it), servicing is quite resonable (on par with servicing a V8).

Any perfomance car is going to cost you more $$$ to own/service than a non performance car.

But back to your topic...

If you are asking whether a stock GTR has a huge difference in performance compared to a GTS-T then yes, it does.

You can't compare them fairly if lots of dollars has been poured into a GTS-T and then no dollars into a GTR.

I think the $$ when new is probably a good indicator too..

AFAIK the 32 gtst was about 40k when new and the GTR about 110k.. had to be for a reason

[ITZTRU]

its exactly the reason why i'm really trying to stop modding my GTT...i dont wanna spend anymore than i have to coz i know one day i'l want a GTR...but then the GTR is so much more expensive to modify depending on how far you're willing to go...

[Basti]

where's roy?

[nizmonut]

blah blah blah.. sheesh, you wanna go drifting in a gtr pull the damn fuse. sheesh. same goes for a gts4, get one of those and a rb30 block for your 25 head you are on your way to caining the arse off alot of gtrs.

[boostin_r33]

if so in a drag the gtr would have a better start but how bout the finish would the rearwheel be anybetter than the 4wd system?

I just read alot of junk mags and in one they said a rwdrive is superior at the high speed compared to the 4wd?

Let us know your thoughts

[rev210]

I just read alot of junk mags

theres the problem then.

[bubba]

^^ lol

Well the GTR's 4wd system isn't constant so if it's not spinning the back tyres then it's not splitting torque to the front wheels (although there is about 5%ish split to the front in 33s and 34s).

[nizmonut]

as bubba said, that 5% is bugger all when the rears arnt breaking traction, so id say the only advantage the gtst would have over the gtr is the fact it isnt carrying a front diff, center diff and its associated driveline components, however in saying that the gtr has the advantage of extra capacity, and more advanced engine work over the gtst, i would say better tuned ecu but for penny's these days you can have that changed in hours.

[bubba]

32 gtst + RB30DET = FTW

[Travis Trayhern]

ok if you want a car that goes fast its a gtr, one thing i have learnt is it costs to much to make a pile of s**t fast and reliable just start of with a fast car and go from there, if you want a show pony get a gtst but neva try putting it up agains a gtr because it will lose even if you do beat it have a look in ya wallet and i bet you have lost. so if you want to do it do it right the first time spent the extra and get a gtr.

[Travis Trayhern]

oh and you can still drift in a gtr, nothing is better all four wheels going its the best and fast
