Nissan versus Nissan ?

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

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

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.

My flatmate has a GTI-R, and they are bloody quick. Depends on what you are after. I prefer the style & comfort of the skyline, but the GTI-R blows a gtst away in terms of performance. Just be weary of the gearbox. I know a guy that has smashed 4 boxes and is pushing out about 190kw at the wheels...

In my humble opinion I'd take a 32 GTR for 25K. For that price you could get a very clean 89 model, or something that's a little rough with some nice mods. Either way, for a little more money you could have a bloody quick car with around 450hp if you go the GTR option.
