Having driven all of the cars in that picture(yes I am gloating)....The Winfield R32 without a doubt.

But I still love the R31 for the excitement!!

Having driven the GMS R31 in front of a crowds ( although usually jumping the start ), I'm surprised your head fits in any of the other cars :P

I'd have to take NEWGTR. Clearly it's driven by someone who can't park, and the car deserves better than that :)

lol @ fatz

For a lap round the track I'd take the R32 in less than a heartbeat, and it would come back with bald tyres and no fuel.

:):)

Yes, R32...

despite the fact that one of my patients who'd just become a non-smoker said,

"You must be the cigarette company's worst enemy!" :D

Note to myself - Get Hooker to give me some weapons training :) .....I already know how to do the running thing.

Its a bit hard to tell from videos etc, but would you mind describing what its like to drive/steer? :D

GMS R31: I can push this car car to the limit and feel comfortable with the response given through the chassis in either understeer or oversteer....not meaning that it's faster just more forgiving at the limit than the R32.

GMS R32: Considering I have only done about 40 laps with it at pace the only feedback that I can give is that to take up to the 85% margin it was very easy to drive....no loss of grip and heaps of low down grunt. Beyond that you would have to have a bit more time in the car...it would be very easy to put on the roof. I also didn't find it that much quicker in a straight line than the R31, but the grip coming out of the corners was awesome. Power steering and sync box made it easy to drive as well.....but you do feel the weight.

Maybe I'm old school but I still love the R31.....I just think I could get much more out of it at the limit....not saying I would be quicker....just the fun factor would be greater.

r31 number on!

jetwreck? i recon even terry is sorry he got out of the r31

31 sounds 4-5 million times better as well

r31 number one!

only thing i dont like about it is the rb20...... gay

off its tits 26 would make that a sweet car

Having seen them all his weekend, the 31 is very exciting to watch. (Thats me sitting behind the R35 with the cap on in the first photo). The 32 just grabs the attention though, everywhere it goes. After hearing Jim Richards and Mark Skaife echo jetwrecks comments almost word for word, it seems the 31 has the nod for fun to drive. I would find it very hard to make a choice, I would want them all, for different reasons.

    • 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 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
