Hello Everybody,

Just a simple question to all on the board.

I'm highly thinking of buying the Nissan Pulsar GTiR. Though I also have a passion for the Nissan Skylines GTST's.

I have been informed that the GTiR is like a mini Godzilla so to speak ?

To get to the point Im just after your opinions on what to buy specifically for a first car purchaser.

HEHE - I also favour the GTiR as being around $18,000 better for me then around $25,000 for Skylines.

Please, feel free to provide me with assistance on a nice purchase.

Cheers,

-xir

completely different cars, and it comes down to what you like.

as huge a skyline fan i am..i'd probably buy a good clean GTiR over a line, in terms of the potential of the 4WD SR20 powerplants they have, and the looks (that lovely cheese grater!). GTiRs are around, but aren't as common as lines

a 25k skyline..i assume ur talking about an R33 GTS-T?

my thoughts, GTiR over 33 GTS-T, but i'd take a sweet 32 gts-t/R any day of the week.

One of my best mates has a GTiR.

Stock standard those things are little rippers. Tendency to understeer with stock suspension (atleast his was). Throw $2k at suspension (full whiteline kit for example) and they handle great.

Skyline advantages over a GTiR - easier to mod (off the shelf), RWD, bigger engine bay, easier to find fellow line owners, service costs less.

Disadvantages - every man and his dog has a r33, r33 (meh!), RWD

GTiR advantages over a liner - AWD, hoons without mods, light, rare

disadvantages - service costs more, harder to find parts/do up

Changing things like injectors and clutches are bloody time-consuming jobs on the GTiR. Parts would be easier on the skyline.

They are totally different cars however. GTiR was something like 70k when it came out so they're built pretty well. On the other hand he can't just get a cheapo exhaust manifold for it to whack on like I can (damn those small engine bays).

Mind you they do easy 13's pretty stock.

Finding parts would be enough to scare me away from the GTiR.

As common as they are I would go R33 over GTiR, but thats only my opinion. I wouldn't be paying $25k for one either unless it was absolutely mint! Once again only my opinion...

I would personally prefer to get a R32 GTS-T and bolt up an RB26DETT, but i've always been one to modify cars rather then leave them stock. Could easily do that with the budget you are talking about. But thats not what this thread is about. :D

Drive the pulsar.

Drive an r32 gtst.

Drive an r33 gtst.

Then make your decision.

Cliffnotes: The GTIR will destroy the GTSTs in terms of acceleration, cornering and braking. However the Skyline is a nicer steer being rwd and more comfortable to drive for longer periods of time.

I HAVE A NICE GTI-R FOR SALE AT THE MOMENT... for around 17000-18000

BUT I HAVE UPGRADED SO TO SPEAK.... TO A GTR..

i still want to keep the pulsar as i like it alot as its quick and small

as most cars they do have their pros and cons, but i really like the pulsar

i'm currently getting my box freshened up and fixed so it will be good as new,

i saw my gtr yesterday at the docks and i'm so inlove. but cant get him till the 10th or there about. (no import approval yet)

they are better than gtr in the way that they have alot down low very quick and zippy.

i wish i just had money to keep both of my cars.

but after this gtr i think its going to be my last performance car for a while.

i heard GTi-R has a very weak gear box, other than that they are great!

the box is weak yes, but match it with a nice clutch and you'll be fine

Parts are definatley not a problem. there is alot of aftermarket and stock parts here in australia. you just need to know where to look.

      Question about R34 GTT A/T Solenoids

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.

      If it has had a code in the recent past, the code should still be there waiting to be read.
