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.

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?

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.

Edited by im late

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... :(

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.

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

^^ 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).

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.

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.

    • Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.
    • Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
    • I'm a bit stuck with this one fellas, I recently decided to undertake a turbo conversion on my GTS-4, ended up pulling the motor to replace all the seals and do an mls head gasket and arp head studs while I was at it. Everything has gone according to plan, no oil or coolant leaks, compression checked out, and decided to give it a test before I book it in for a tune As it stands right now, the turbo only has oil lines plumbed so that I don't put boost into my untuned engine, and I'm using the factory GTS-T crossover pipe with a maf and poddy as a temporary intake. The car starts with relative ease and idles amazingly, however as the title suggests it really doesn't want to rev up, runs very smooth but almost feels choked out and unresponsive to the throttle, almost like it's running lean or something? I've triple checked my vacuum lines and timing with a timing light, injectors haven't been touched as of yet to avoid flooding the engine and worked perfectly beforehand, new plugs and coilpacks, I've even unbolted the cat just to see if it spontaneously collapsed, no dice The car currently has a nistune r32 gtst ecu installed so I have no way to check for fault codes. At this point I'm a bit stumped. Is this normal behaviour for a car with a turbo bolted onto the exhaust going nowhere? I'd imagine the turbo wouldn't cause this much restriction in the exhaust without the boost going through the intake. Any ideas? If necessary I can link a video of how it responds to full throttle while in neutral.
