Does anyone now what sort of difference there would be in lap times between say an R33 GTS25T and R33 GTR, in stock form around tracks like Oran park or Eastern Creek.

I know there would be a huge difference, however I'm just curious.

Not sure whether this was the right section for this thread.

S out.

HAHAHA - this thread is Gold.

It's a funny thing but it seems that the biggest depending factor on which car is faster is Latitude. The further South you get the faster the GTR's are but as you get North the GTS-T's seem to take over.

I mean down at Phillip Island the GTR's are close to 10s per lap faster. A little further North at Sandown its maybe 5s faster.

But as you get further North to tracks like Oran Park or Eastern Creek suddenly GTS-T's seem to be quicker. It would be great to test this theory at places like Symmonds Plains and Hidden Valley! What do you say we do these tests? Duncan? Roy? LOL

But the reason why this is the case is a mistery :confused:

:P

interesting theory there Snowman! I wonder if we get to the Northern Hemisphere, say the Nurburgring, will the GTSTs go so fast that they exceed the speed of light? :wassup:

The basic problem is that gtr drivers have small balls, thereby reducing the performance of the car...maybe there is more air pressure down south and they just shrink?

The quickest i have heard a basically stock r33 gtr do Eastern Creek is 1.49, it was Andrev the CAS driver and I think Merli was passengering. My basically stock gtst's best is 1.52....so about 3 seconds. Of course the gtr has at least 30-50% more power and Eastern Creek shows that up best.

At smaller tracks like wakefield my car has done a 1.10, and I don't know of any stockish gtrs to compare that too, but a 500hp gtr did a 1.08, so the gap really narrows on tighter tracks.

Around Oran Park south my gtr did 53 on road tyres, the gtst did 51.

Its funny that you say GTR drivers seem to have small balls when the tracks the GTR's are faster at are the ones where speed and commitment are what makes a fast lap time rather than pissy little tracks where you don't get out of 3rd gear.

I would be sure that the weight reduction benifits of small balls would be the reason why GTST's are faster around technical tracks surely?

I think its more of a Polar thing actually. So closer to the equator is good for GTST's but closer to the Poles is good for GTR's.

So I think the GTR's would own you at Nurburgring.

If both cars are in good condition and absolutley stock and you are comparing same models then id say the GTR may be a bit quicker for a given lap.

But there are so many variables such as tyres, ppl dont consider exhaust to be really a mod. Hell a std turbo / IC GTR can knock out 250rwkws, good luck to getting that sort of power form a GTST without IC and turbo upgrade.

That said if you give a GTST the same power as a GTR then i dont think there is much in it at all. Give me Doughboy's GTST and i think it would walk all over most modded GTRs. Then again give me TrustGTR's car and i think it would sh1t on GT3s:thumbsup:

Im with Duncan, most GTRs i see are slower then my GTST.:P My best with std turbo and road rubber at Eastern Creek was 1:56 and at Eakefield 1:13. That was with Whiteline susp, filter/exhaust/IC and std ECU limiting me to 180km/h down the straight at Eastern Creek...given no speed limiter im sure i would have got into the low 1:55s which is quicker then just about every GTR ive shared the track with:)

Then sticky rubber and i think my exhaust and susp mods would have allowed me to keep up with Duncans std R33:(

Mind you Wakefield trying to keep up with the SSS GTR was an entirely different kettle of fish so it should be with a GMS engine.

What the!?

i dont know the people driving these cars or the tracks but on what planet has a stock gtst ever been faster or even close to a stock GTR in track battles?

If they are both driven properly it should be no competition

What about upgraded gtsts? eg 250rwkw gtst vs 250rwkw gtr?

I'd think the Gtst would have the advantage on tigher/slower tracks since its lighter, easier on the tyres, and easier to throw into tight corners... but on the faster/not as tight tracks i'd think the GTR would be better...

Driver has a lot to do with it, roll out a 33GTR and 33GTST in factory form, no mods at all, no exaust, etc... same (good) driver, and i couldn't see how a gtst could beat a GTR... once you start throwing a little money into suspension and light power mods its starts to even out....

my opinion

At the end of the day they are both a hell of a lot of fun at the track:thumbsup:

...and taking drivers out of the equation...i have a vid with Richard Burns driving around a pommie track in an R33GTR vs Ferrari 355, 550, NSX, 911, 3000GT, Lotus Elise (Echo:)) M3 plus a few hot hatches and the UK Spec R33 GTR had the quickest lap time! :P

I cant see a std R33 keeping pace with that calibre of car:(

In seriousness - down here in Vic all the fast cars are GTR's and in NSW they are GTST's. But is seems in Vic all the serious track guys drive GTR's and in NSW the serious guys drive GTST's.

Next weekend down here will be interesting as we have a big track day with I think about 15 skylines attending. About half GTR's and half GTST's. We all know the fastest car will be Ben (GTR) but other than that it will be interesting to see how many GTST's will beat any of the GTR's.

Some might beat Emre - but he belongs in NSW! (LOL - just kidding mate!)

    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
