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!!! :P:D

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.

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.................

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.

      Does that price include the rack time to straighten the frame and body and replacement of parts and paint, as well as the noise and emmisions testing  The last engineering certificate I had done, albeit about 15 years ago, was around $1000 for a few inspections and the certificate

      Geez, engineers fees have definitely gone up. Mine back 2007 cost me all of $300. Mind you, I had to go back to him a few times to get him to write the correct things on the report after he'd inspected it. Things like wrong exhaust size, wrong wheel sizes, etc etc.

      Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.
