Got a friend with a nicely modded GTiR (exhaust, intercooler, boost controller, chipped ecu) and he hasnt had any problems with it (except for one gearbox breakage). Hes had the car for over 2 years now. It does drink petrol like crazy though, and Ive heard the same from other owners...

I've since sold the GTiR and moved onto the GTR

The GTiR didn't have many problems, just CVs and rear diff

Still looking at sky high insurance costs, costs of parts combination of expensive uncommon things and common pulsar parts. Big theft target too, mine was stolen from new owner ;)

My options are to either buy a pulsar gtir and add a full whiteline handling kit, hks gtrs, FMIC, exhaust and super sequential BOV and a bit of rice. (mags). Or, have a stock standard r32 gtr.

Now, which should i go for? in a race who do you think would win? If i had the gtir with those mods, what power and quarter times am i looking at? Thanks for your help huys

Regards

To be honest I can still hardly afford the upkeep of a GTR even with the money I have coming in. I know I couldnt when I was 18 thats for sure. Those mods would get a GTiR into the 12s no doubt but you're missing alot of essential parts to make it move quicker.

Thanks alot morgs, those were just my basic mods, th ones that I can afford now. Once I sell my excel (dont laugh, my folks bought it for me), the money should be good for an OS Giken gear set. I also plan to get a Power FC, sard 1000cc injectors, new nismo front diff, DBA brakes, or a brake urgrade to r33 gtr brakes some more rice, Audio and lots of other things.

Is there anything else I need? My engineer said I wouldnt have to resport to forgies yet but it would be advisable. so I spose I better add that to the list of Mods.

Definately need to put more thought into it

Dont bother with anything from Japan GTiR is an old car most of the stuff isnt still made or cheap - get a half PAR dog box (straight cut gears) or similar, it'll be expensive noisy and unfriendly but won't break.

On the ECU side maybe look for something with antilag and launch control, hell they were rally cars, autronic would be good value for money. Wont need 1000cc injectors unless you're aiming for 1000hp :D Brake upgrade GTR brakes will fit from memory but you'll need a set of 17s to fit them.

Depends on how much power you want. GTiR SR20 is a good motor personally I wouldn't touch it unless I had to long as the compression is fine, just need to upgrade fuel IC oil cooler and it'll live through a fair bit of punishment. Dont forget the drivetrain.

Either way you've got potential to put yourself through a fair bit of financial pain.

A 4 door GTS4 on the other hand.... :D

Yea my gts4 sedan has put a dent in my pocket. Yea I heard about some dog box from some where which was aparantly extreamy hardy, will get back to you on that one... The gtir comes out wiht 440cc right? so what do you recommend? 660cc? Yes i will have 17s so gtr brakes should be okay, and the whiteline kit to correct the understeer... SO what cpu is it that you reccomend? Now it sounds to me as though you dont exactly like the gtir engine that much, any reasons? Are you pointing me in the direction of the gtr? What made you change? If I can get myself a clean RELIABLE gtir into the 12s without too much of a hassle than I will be happy!!

If you only want 12s its too easy.

Dogbox PPG is another one...

IF you wanted 12s, get a full exhaust (decent dump pipe is important), EBC (1 bar), decent intake cold air/pod filter, and a tune. That should give you enough power to run 12s all day. I know guys who run low 12s on the standard 14" wheels/tyres with that combo, freaky quick. All you need is a huge launch. Can kill boxes but how often would you do it...

GTiR motor is good SR. I went to GTR because it was the car I've always wanted and I found one which stood out so I had to have it. Still paying the price lol

    • 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.
