Yeah, its a minter and fairly rare so it'll be staying as is. Does around 30km per month. GTR's are so cheap to run lol.

Geezuz!

Take it out for a drive will ya! ;)

That's like a short drive to the shops and back once per week of the month (4 weeks)...

I guess it being an ADM GTR it has a decent value to it.

Sure, thats every 2 years or so. The car did get driven a fair bit when i was in Darwin but now its pretty much a shed car. Ive put around 2000ks in two years. It will be doing a lot less now.

it's a car that cost about half of what the gtr did 20 years ago, or in perspective, the new gtr costs about the same as what the r32 did (once you take into account inflation, etc), so the sti wrx is about 1/3 the cost, has 2 less cylinders and 100cc smaller engine, and is designed to be something, that when modified, doesn't need to put out 1000hp, but only needs about 350 to 400hp with a buttload of traction and short gear ratios. different horses for different courses.

Yeah this i understand,but i have found so often that WRX drivers are ex-nissan owners that complain about not getting traction etc, so ideally they wanted 1000hp, but when they figured out they couldnt get the power to the ground (or thats its really hard to drive) they traded for less power..This is the gayness..

RBNT man i thought i was slack 6000km in 3 years, but you win..At least your car will be appreciating but.If not now eventually..There will be a boom period like the GTHOs in 20-30 years, if you can wait that long you will cash in fo' shizz

From memory, Wheels Magazine tested back in '91 or '92 it was 4.7 secs, ADM R32 GTR.

I have seen time vary from 4.7 - 5.3 secs.

Depending on the driver I guess...

Yes i know the GTR does im asking about the 2011 STI wrx

They say it will be slightly faster then the hatch back version because it is lighter, but did not give an exact time measurement.

So what ever time the hatch back does, knock off afew micro secs I guess...

Somewhere slower than an R1 and faster than an Aurion.

Like it makes a toss of difference anyway. Surely there are more important ways to determine a car's performance potential than a single figure (which conveniently happens to be the GTR's strong point)

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
