Just wondering if someone can give me an idea of how an r33 gtst with 220rwkw compares to a GTR (GTR which is stock to lightly modified with exhaust, FMIC and a bit more boost).

Which would feel faster? Ignoring the fact that a gtst with that sort of power struggles to get all the power down off the line (which I tend to enjoy :) )

thanks

well 220rwkw should get a mid-12 sec time with a good driver and correct rear end setup.

A mildly modified GTR will probably also run that time :)

.. roughly equivelent - but like you say the traction of the GTS-T is the weak point.

I have a lightly modified GTR as you say, exaust, bit more boost etc..

couple of mats have ~220rwkw 33gtsts...

MSPEC (he's on here), if i launch, he has no chance, i get a good 3 or so car lengths on him, and its all over... when he launches and i dont, he beats me over the 1/4 by about a car length or 2.... rolling in 2nd gear as you say, i generally pull away slowly, i think because i have longer gears, 8000rpm shift as opposed to his 7000rpm...

well i have had a fair bit of experience with Both my 225rwkw GTS and a GTR with similar power and the GTR will always feel faster, it has a more usable power range, it has punch from really down low all the way up top, where my GTS doesnt really punch till about 3,500 - 4000rpm.

launching a GTR is just awesome, the g-force feel is unbeleivable and really freaks out passangers that arent ready for it :) but the slide action of a GTS is also really fun.

I have also played with a GTR running over 300rwkw and that is better than sex... and have been a passanger in a GTR running 450rwkw and thats just stupid!

yeah.. you definitely feel the punch of the GTR from the get go.. just because of the massive torque and two turbos make the power all that much more smoother. You can get a good punch from a well modified gts-t but its not quite the same.

There is no real comparison :)

The Gtst still feels quick... i think you always get the scare factor more when a passenger, so thier Gtst's always feel as quick as my car.. but being a passenger in my GTR, it just feels more safe/secure/solid, dont know how to describe it..

i have 258rwkw

Getting the power down is a negative...and a positive. It's a bit slippery. when you wheelspin all the way up a mountain stretch in the dande's it's lairy and fun.

To be honest it's a while since I have driven a GTR but the amount of traction means you are going so much faster when you need to brake, so have to brake a lot earlier, and all that extra weight means that on the same tyres it would be pretty damn close on a track.

Ultimately the GTR is a better starting point, but it depends would be the only true answer.

I personally like my RWD style so stick with it for now. I have been thinking of getting rid of 2 cars to get a GTR though. 4 cars is too many sometimes.

yeah its bad, i regret all the GTR driving i have done, because nothing has come close to comparison.

they should have a mandatory sign on the steering wheel, stating exactly that once you drive this car everything else seems like crap!

it can cause serious depression amongst people lacking the money to own one... i am one of the unfortunate.

    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
    • Yeah for sure that is peddle adjustment 
    • What are your thoughts on this after having it for a while, worth getting?
    • Downshifts are harder on transmissions than upshifts, the input shaft naturally slows down once disconnected from the engine so the synchros aren't doing all the work. There's no "natural" tendency for an input shaft to increase RPM. Something is not right there, I don't have a great answer on what. You can try a dedicated GL4 75W90, I plan to switch to Motorcraft XT-M5-QS which is supposedly a very good 75W90 for NB Miatas which have a weirdly sensitive transmission from the factory. I would chase down why your clutch is making a hissing noise, that's not normal. It might be no big deal but in the absence of anything else to investigate I would look at that.
