Hi all, im currently in the market for another car, first car was stolen last year and i still havn't replaced it LOL :angry:

i had an r32 gts-t and i loved it, started to get a bit bored with the power, but overall i really enjoyed it.

So now i really need a car, its been too long and my girlfriend hates being my taxi driver lol.

my options are either one of:

r32 gts-t with an rb25 aim for mid 250kw with supporting mods,

r34 gtt - pretty standard, might try for up to 200kw down the track with some boost/remap,

r32 gtr - pretty standard, might try for 220kw down the track with a bit of boost/remap.

im sort of leaning towards the first option, but get an r32 and do the convo myself

but every time i think about what i want i really dont know.... i want them alll hahha

so what are your opinions/ experiences with either of them??

I think you should go for the 34, coz the chassis is newer and its got an rb25 anyway. But if you really do like the 32 shape, just go for the gtr, they come with heaps of power in stock form, so probably wouldnt hav to do much to get 220kw at the treads. But yeh, jus my opinion, I love the 32 shape, had my heart set on one but settled on an r33 coz they're not as old.

good luck deciding

cheers

I don't know, I love the rear wheel drive platform, and i've never really thought about a gtr or driven one because i used to think they were out of my league lol.

I like the r34 because its newness (airbags, abs, traction control - good for the wet) and its looks, but i've always had a soft spot for the 32 and i miss mine.

haha so confused.

i've been in a couple, never driven one though.

Lol i don't see anything wrong with what he said??

anyway thanks to all who replied, btw another rb20 would be fun, i just want something different

i think i have decided

an R34 gtt would be cool, its newest, its got looks, comfort, power.. but hard to find a low kms one within my budget

an R32 GTR would be my pick, a nice metallic black one, looks, power, potential, class, would be a whole new experience to me, but finding a later model in good condition, if thats even possible = out of my budget

an R32 rb25 its got looks, power, and i am familia with the 32 = within budget

so i know down the track i will want a gtr but we'll see what happens.

opinions?

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
