Yeah, WRX was owning until it BROKE.

normal. they break easily by spun bearings when you put too much power due to engine design. too many dicks drive WRXs plus, all Subaru succeded in racing was WRC. GTR? well; Bathurst( i think we all know that one), Targa Rallies, Group A(1990s), Le Mans(1990s), JGTC, Drag racing(HKS R33 GTR), etc...

if your comparing the Standard Rex which is overused by wankers who litter them shitty paint jobs stickers and chrome wheels to a r33 v spec which is a legendary track beast i'd take the r33 v spec, throw a WRX STI into the equation and i'd probably try both and get which one you feel is most fitting to your driving style.

Does that mean Commodores are the greatest car ever? seing as there are more of them than any other car on the road ?
Nah Fords are better.

Meh, Camrys are better than both...

I noimate the Camry being the most common car seen on the road.

Toyota hit the jack pot when they realised that the majoriy of the car buying market are filled with plain & boring people who just want A-B transport.

Oh & WRX's are still ulgy :)

I own an my03 wrx as well as my bunky..

Comparing it against a 33 gtr v-spec I know which one I would have for being able to park it in a carpark, or fit shit in the boot, or carry 4 people with ease ( some people I know don't exactly like hopping over the front seats to get in a car ).

For sheer driving pleasure the gtr hands down, but I would be petrified leaving it anywhere that I couldn't see it.

http://www.boostcruising.com/forums/lofive...hp/t452714.html is the main one i was reading.

I have a feeling i started reading at the wrong point in the thread though lol, now i don't know what car they are talking about. I tried to find specific mention of the car, but all anyone seems to be saying is GTR ETA runs a RB26/30, and then people are also talking about a WRX, and after re-reading it, not sure they are talking about the same car as there is mention of an S15 as well... Lol, too many cars with the plates GTR ETA, just goes to prove that the GTR is what they are aiming to beat :D

OK - I can give you my recent experience with both makes.

New to Skylines, and the forum.

12mths ago I purchased a 03 STI (with medium mods) - sold it within 3 mths!

Noisy.

Slow, if not on boost.

No torque.

Front torque steer under power.

understeer.

It was like driving a highly strung race car on the street, which needed the crap revved out of it to have any fun. - very annoying.

3 weeks ago I purchased a R32 GTR - stock standard. I love it. I have had plenty of performance cars, currently race a 4cyl Alfa in Historic Touring cars, (I am 45 yrs young), and the GTR is a serious car. It is the real deal when it comes to serious performance cars. I also considered a EVO, but same issues as above with the WRX(to buzzy/rice burner type of thing.

In the end I really wanted a super/muscle car. A make/model with race history, something original and to hang on to long term. I could have spent $40 - $60K on Aussie muscle, but in the end spent $14K!! on a true performance (race) car.

When driven at full tilt, the GTR is a more capable/satisfying/mind blowing/enjoyable experience.

Being from the old school/V8 type back ground, the best way to sum it up is that the GTR is more like a cross over between Aussie muscle with Jap hightech, - if you know what I mean......even my HSV/FPV mates rate it highly - surprise, surprise!!

If you want a "sporty" car - maybe a WRX (but go EVO)

If you want a true supercar (a legend) - go GTR

Thats it, now I'm off for a drive along the coast in my new toy, and then maybe give it a wax, and just stand back and admire. (never felt doing that with the STI)

Steve.

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
