R33 - GTR versus Modded GTS-t - which is better ?

[Tosh]

Take one 1995 R33 GTR - $45K

 

Take one 1995 R33 GTS-t $19K and then spend $26 in mods on it.

Hrmmmm $26 in mods will buy me 1 bottle of Motul RBF600 brake fluid to flush myself......

yep!! definately a GTR killer!!!

I would luv to take an R on a hill climb round Mt Glorious/Nebo. Plenty of fun in the T though still. Thats were I think both the T and the R come into their own twisty hills. Not that I'm a hillclimb expert nowhere near just comparing to my previous 4 cars. Point is i think the R would be even better in this (my favourite type) road situation.

Interesting actually .. of course i wouldn't know where you are talking about.. but if say i did ... whilst of course the GTR go nicely, its not like the modified GTS-T can't keep up or are left behind. In the end it all comes down to driver skill, and of course having a car you know how it behaves helps.

And this suspension stuff is nonsense, as who really keeps the stock suspension in either a GTR or GTS-T. To me there is no inherant differences in the actual geometry after all (?? correct me if wrong). It can be a VSPEC GTR or whatever it likes, and they come with strut bars and nicer factory suspension.. but upgrading these things on a lowly GTS-T to aftermarket (probably much better than GTR stock) and they start behaving a lot more nicely and being almost as "point and shoot" as a GTR (i'd imagine). The GTR does only pass drive to the front on loss of traction after all...

Make the GTS-T lose as little traction as possible, bump up the torque a little (what people are talking about with the GTR "pushing them back in their seat" is mainly torque I'd imagine.. helped by the twin turbos), eliminate lag as much as possible in the GTS-T coming from just the single turbo and the differences become thinner and thinner.

Or you'd get your mummy to buy you a GTR and then proceed to demolish a bus stop with it....

Either way really.

i never said your car is crap. but it is not better then some of the 35k gtrs ive been in.

leave it at that.

[pentae]

Imagine that

Gtst = bmw 318i

GTR = bmw m3

And this is the Bmw "3 Series" forum and the 318i guys are arguing that mods spent on their 318i will make a better m3 .. m3 guys are arguing that 318i could never be as good as the m3!

Now imagine how stupid that would look. How much you would laugh at the idiots..

Thats what most of you guys are looking like now

No we are all dancers in gay bars, the pay is rich as..............and since we don't drink, take drugs, or chase loose women, we have heaps of money to spend on fancy internet connections and lots of time to invade specialist forums and corrupt young minds

Jeez, I hope I wasn't frivilous, this topic is way too serious for that.................

HaHaHa

This thread is shit. Normally I would have sprung to the defence of the GTS-t boys, having been a GTS(+t) boy myself. But no matter how fast I went, or how much money I spent, or what other cars I had that were faster (ie my t518z 180) they just weren't a GTR. My Cefiro could pull eyes away from 34GTR's, but it wasn't a GTR. I wanted a GTR. I bought a GTR and I wouldn't change it for the world. They need to be driven hard to be appreciated, those who have seen mine down Nebo will know exactly what I mean.

Why have a different GTS-t set up for 3 styles of motorsport when you can have a 32GTR that can cope with them all? Now that's value for money.

Enough flamage guys ok?

Group Hug.

On a side note, I think this is only the second thread in history I have agreed with Merli. Weird...

This thread isn't about "coping" it's about excelling. The question has been answered - the answer is GTS-t.
