GTS-R is a homologation special like like a Cosworth RS-500, and I wouldn't call that a sports car.  Sports cars are small, light and have an emphasis on handling

A GTS-R weights under 1400KG's if its standard.

around the 1350 i would say at the most.

you cant class em as a GT, no chance in the world.

They were the car before the GTR, and most certainly held thier own

With all the GTS-R add-ons there were a nice change from the normally dull RB20

haha, just think they can easily be confused with the aussie cars even though they are quite different throughout.. the "non-educated" motoring population wouldn't know the difference

I get people asking me alot what is it? i didnt think people clicked it was an aussie 31, i get more the impression people see it as that sports coupe from japan. I've had some older blokes come up to me on a few occassions and have a chat purely because they like the look of the car, the shape and the fact its a mean, well designed car. A Hr31 gets you lots of looks, people scratching their head, thinking- whats that? Power wise.. basically the same mods done to a r32 to get it up and going- they both have rb20's... I voted GT

  • 4 weeks later...

yer, mine was 1.4 exactly... that was with the 25 which is around 30kg's heavier or something from memory.

that was with me in it too... but mine had a lof of the sound deadening ripped outta the boot and stuff, you can see the scrape marks under the rear seats if you pull em out

My '88 GTS HR31 with ~30l of fuel was 1440kg.

My '88 GX local R31 with ~30l was 1280kg.

All the extra bracing, big doors, electric stuff, sound deadening, IRS rear end, spoilers and the fact everything seems to be that bit plusher than the local one (ie plusher dash padding, door trims, much nicer seats etc) all seems to add up.

Since I'm not stripping it out to go faster, I'll just have to get more power :(

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
