Why not start a hall of shame of all the Fake gtr's out there? Or why not have a comp to see who can get the most pictures of GTR badged Gtst's out there?

Thats a great idea :(

The real problem is that it devalues the GTR name. You have people in their POS 14sec car believing that they can pwn a GTR in a race.

There's a few of those fake GTR's around Melbourne too. The worst I've seen was a stock series 1 with a GTR badge. My stupid friend said wow! GTR!!! (He was actually serious) It was even in that blue R33 gtst colour which I dont think they made a GTR in.

Aren't stickers considered rice only if you DONT have the parts?

Anyway, a more printer friendly 'NOT A GTR' pic.

The funny thing is that if someone gets this they'll be freaked out by the fact that someone took the time to make and print out the page because they hate their mis-badging.

I have a definate passion for skylines, the way the drives, but I also avoid buying a gtr for reason other than cost. To me anycar can go fast with time and money, and the draw back of owning a gtr is that it has street cred and is also a thief magnet.

A guy at work owns a GTR with no badges cause of all those ar$eholes out there keep stealing them.....

As for my line, mines not longer a GT as i took them off before some else did with a screw driver...

after driving along on a sunday i started to relize just how many fake GTR's there are, and some1 has to put a stop to this, its wrong! (thats why i started this thread)

either these badges are sold in bulk daily like bread or GTR owners around australia have had their badges taken.

I dont mind if the driver admits and says its a GTST but to carry on and make it as it actually is a GTR by having a bodykit, spoiler, engine or twin turbos...., its just wrong!

After i had an argument with some1 the other night regarding this i could not wait to get home and start this thread, this gtst owner put a twin turbo set up on his rb25, and him and his friends who had honestly no clue what a gtr is went along with it claiming if u add a twin turbo set up on a gtst the car magicly becomes a GTR, wow thats a nice trick, so i asked what u call a gtr with a single turbo conversion? a gtst i dont think so!

Please if u have GTR badges on your skylines i dont care but DONT claim and try to tell others its a GTR...! its not!

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
