If you have money to modify the Rb26 and replace all the consumables Nothing beats the GTR, Eg; I bought a VERY clean 94" R32 GTR in 2006, At the time it was 12 years old, 70,000km on the odometer, PRice tag was 29,990 As i knew the owner of the car yard price dropped to 23k Which for that time was very good for the type on condition the car was in. Anyways since then i have spent 20-25k on the car. But let me tell you something interior is practically brand new body brand new and engine is almost brand new, let not forget With MUCH more power. 330awkw which is a safe tune, only 18psi. Bottom end is still in great condition and its still fully stock. Soon to come Forged everything and 380-400awkw and that should be enough for me, Should make it into the 10sec 1/4 which is what im after. An immaculate car inside and out, Big stereo system fully air con. !0 sec machine. Cant ask for more should total bill with the car included will probably come to 50-70k not sure yet as its a slow working progress, But for what it is and how it goes, its a bargin. FYI its my weekend car no way ill drive it everyday of the week. Too much petrol if you put the foot down alot and beleive me its just too tempting to put the foot down all the time, not good for oz laws lol

for 70k I can think of a few cars I would rather have over a 20 year old GTR

Eg Brand new FPV F6 = 60k drive away + 10k in mods = GTR left behind

Lol 70k on a GT-R ? Pull the other one, buy a beautiful condition specimen for 30k, spend 40, destroy the exige... Lol 70k on a GT-R and Lol at spending 70k on an FPV.

go read what I was reply too numb nut

Edit - that sounded a bit mean lol.

That is what he did, bought 23k GTR spent 40-45k

so its a 70k GTR

I know what you said dude, lol, my point was for 70k you should have a very fast GT-R, let's say much faster then a 70k FPV.

Let's face it, an FPV is just a tricked up Falcon. Good bang for your buck but that's pretty much where it ends.

and the GTR isnt a tricked up 4 Door R32.

Besides speed isnt everything...which one would you rather drive on holidays, cranky 20 year old GTR or 6 month old falcon?

The difference between a Falcon and an FPV pale in comparison to the differences between a non GT-R and a GT-R skyline.

Also, an R32 is produced as a sport car from the factory there is no base model that is just an A - B sedan, even the NA Auto ones are technically :P a sports car, because you are right, it's not just all about speed.

And I would rather drive a cranky GT-R over an FPV anywhere, I am a masochistic individual though.

for 70K .. id get a 34 gt-r .. or a porsche

or this http://www.carsales....id=12F1908D48F0

:D

*edit* yeah i'd take a 32 gt-r over an FPV .. I just like the looks of the 32

Edited by Jonno34

This little argument just just how useless threads like these are.

Just like people go on and on about how good R35s are....I still hate the f**king things

Yeah pointless exercise, But I'de rather have GT-R over an FPV even though I have nothing against the falcon.

Anyway, haters gonna hate Lol.

Oh c'mon now, we are comparing gtr vs evo not gtr vs pulsar.

I think both the evo and gtr engines would be pushed just as hard in rpm and gforce.

If their were solutions that didn't require the engine to come out why do we get so many spun bearings?

lol your drunk arnt ya, you reckon you could have 70k worth of gtr and a New FPV would leave it behide..... mate your off your head, i paid 20k for my nismo edition, if i spent 50k on it, there wouldnt be anything sub 500k that would have a chance on leaving it behide, in street trim a gtr with the right mods and abit of money spent, is the ultimate street car, the motive DVD drag challenge prove's it time and time again, 50k on a gtr will get you well into the 10sec mark, and theres not many FPV or HSV that will run those times in street trim, i mean 18inch wheels nice sounds system, the lot.

i raced a FPV F6 with a exhaust and a chiped ecu, and ate it up with my baby 300rwkw.... i would have blowin his windows out with 400-450kw..... think about it

I actually really like falcons but the gt-r is something special :)

plus my 63kg self would look silly in a falcon sized car

    • When I need something else to edit, I use Movavi. A friend who does video editing on a daily basis recommended me) it's an easy video cutter to use for beginners
    • I need to edit some videos for work but I'm not good at all this. Which video editor can you recommend?
    • I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.
    • Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA
    • But I think you missed mine.. there is also nothing about the 98 spec that supports your claim..  according to the fuel standards, it can be identical to 95, just very slightly higher octane number. But the ulp vs pulp fuel regulations go show 95 (or 98), is not just 91 with some additives. any claim of ‘refined by the better refineries’ or ‘higher quality fuel’ is just hearsay.  I have never seen anything to back up such claims other than ‘my mate used to work for a fuel station’, or ‘drove a fuel delivery truck’, or ‘my mechanic says’.. the actual energy densities do slightly vary between the 3 grades of fuel, but the difference is very minor. That said, I am very happy to be proven wrong if anyone has some hard evidence..
