60km both second. He had proxy 888 265 all way round. I just have more than 1000rpm response than him. His car is actually going for a 10 soon with around 425awkw.

Obviously if he launches it its bye bye for me lol

my GTST with GT35 will let go in 3rd at anything under 100km/h if i ramp the boost on hard.

i take it you have never been in a 300+kw GTST

Really? Ive got a fair bit of power, not 300, but the only times I can brake traction are between shifts(its not just a chirp, it breaks) and all throughout first gear and 2nd if I don't let it regain traction after the shift. It would be pretty awesome if I could be off throttle in 3rd gear then plant it just to have the wheels spin lol. I NEED MORE POWER. What tires and suspension do you use? My suspension isn't hard and has some squat in it to help give traction and my tires are fat 595's.

Gonna assume that's the make and not the width blink.gif

The main reason why he would lose traction in third is because of the 3540 having more lag and the boost delivery isnt as linear as to probably your turbo and with a 3540 on a rb25 its like all the boost comes on at once and so it goes nuts lol.

I had those 595 that were 265 wide and I'd spin them up easy in second gear with 285 rwkw when running the Gtr in rear wheel drive..

Like stated before it has more to do with the power delivery, I had nismo gt lemans turbos that were plain bearing and would lag then come on hard, where as my mates -9 turbos with 280 rwkw doesn't feel as violent comin onto boost

In the wet I could spin all 4 265 down the highway in second :)

Yeah my dads old 350rwkw GTSt could light up the tyres at 120-130kph if you wanted it to, but wouldn't spin at all when he used proper throttle control not just "mash the go pedal"

Highly untrue. GTR lags like dog balls. Imagine a 10 second Gtr with -5 turbos doing a 60k roll race. Wait I Did this! My r33 gtst 280rwkw vs r32 Gtr 385rwkw. 60k roll. I maxed my speedo b4 he caught up. A 10 sec GTR is nothing without the launch. You GTR fanboys crack me up :P

Get off the crack pipe! How am I a GTR fanboy when I own a fast Gts-t?

I have owned both (fast GTR and fast Gts-t) and I can tell you the only thing that could keep up with the GTR at low speed was other GTR's and maybe from 60km/hr a quick evo could keep up in 2nd, third was game over.

Take your slow Gts-t and go home...

PS. This is from around 60-70km/hr in my old GTR, I bet you can keep up >_<

You said it in one,

A gtr is fast (very fast) and awesome, but there's still times when I would love to have a 300kw gtst for the wheel spinning sideways action. Plus gtst are much cheaper to run and maintain. Before I get fanboyed I built a 300kw gtst from stock and now own a 300kw gtr.

So sinista gtr, how does a 300awkw gtr compare with the slow 300rwkw gtst, i mean at normal road speeds and sensible driving except those rare moments when u just wana zap past for a few seconds or do a spirited stab of the pedal coming onto an empty motorway on-ramp or say 60-120??

Sensible driving, unless you took off like a granny, 1st gear in a high powered gtst is useless as soon as it comes onto boost it's wheel spin and same with second. In the rain.... Omg you have absolutely no chance of getting near boost. The gtst is quick don't get me wrong, but when it comes onto boost say on the on ramp like you said from 60 or 80 you just wait to correct the steering wheel if it completely breaks traction or it's twitchy fighting for grip.

The gtr just has a feeling of immense power and torque and when you get on the go pedal hard or soft there is no worries about grip. You have to look ahead to see how far the car is ahead of you as it just picks up speed über quick.

The gtr is able to use its power on all of its range and gears without issues to be quick, the gtst is fast once you get past the looseness and wheel spin.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
