started buildin a gtst rb30 r33 head big turbo all the **** a friend did the same smaller turbo he wheel spins in 4th on boost its a animal but how do u use that power on the street .i went and bought a gtr least i can get traction now.races start from lights not on a roll at 60kms

We have just gone through this process ourselves after importing a reasonably stock R33 GTST. The first thing we wanted was to do some mods - but when you sit down and actually add up the cost of mods (FMIC, Computer, Injectors, Turbo upgrade, Fuel Pump, Manifold, Wastegate etc.) it is ridiculous !!!

We have now sold that skyline after much debate and are in the process of importing a highly modded 26DETT R33 GTST - we could have no doubt afforded a stock R32 or R33 GTR - but again we would have the same problem in wanting to do mods.

Our reason behind our final decision was anyone who owns a GTR has an awesome fast car - but to have a GTST that will be able to compete with most GTR's is a special awesome fast car and it's nice to be different sometimes too.

GTSt Skylines are wild cars for the price, but once you get to a certain power level it gets terribly expensive to get more.

Yes it seems like the barrier to GTST becomes pocket heavy when going beyond 300rwkw. Personally i'd go the GTR if BIG HP is the go...Plus the torque has to be ridden to be understood! :burnout:

Okay think of it this way... how fun is modding a car from scratch at 14.3 rated from the factory and then achieving a high 12 after having the car on the road for about 4 months... you get to see your car turn from nothing into something, you get to have fun, and its almost affordable for most with a GTSt... with a GTR its hard enough to afford the thing let alone mod it... thats the only reason i love the GTSt's, so much potential for an affordable price. Yes i am a huge GTR fan and if i had the chance i would jump for an R33/34 GTR for sure, but for now and for my first car i don't mind my 33 GTSt... its starten to boot n i'm hanging to run a GTR jus to dissapoint one :D

well said.

i had the money to buy a r32 gtr. but i didnt.

i wanted somthing different.

and i got a r33 not a 2 door( its to common) i got a 4 door.

im in this game to build a car. thats the fun part.

y buy a fast car to make it fast.

buy a slow car and make it super fast.

I was making 152rwkw in my R32 GTS-T with a 3" exhaust, 12psi of boost, stock IC, stock airbox and filter.

I ran a stock R33 GTR that launched at 5k. I managed due to reaction time to get the ever so slight jump and held in front all the way.

I've got a vid that was taken from a VX GenIII Manual Commodore that had an exhaust.

I was lucky I got one of those fluky good launches that didn't have to much wheelspin.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
