gen 3 v8 = piece of shit

and yes i own one for 3 years and had to get new motor under warrent

oil burning piece of shit

and the one thing that give the clubsport the remotest chance of coming close is the japanise gentlemen agreement if the gtr had been limited to 208kw (like all the awesome car from japan) the commodore would not be on the same paper, why do i say this because there is no car i know of in the world that can be so easily tune for hp as the rb26 per dollar spent on it and has the suspension package std to handle it

the gtr was never designed to be 208kw(more like about 350kw in my opinion)

ie my gtr $40,000

plus ~$8,000 to $10,000 mods

=529.4rwhp 11.3sec(at 480rwhp)

find me a commodore with 400kw at the wheels with brembo brake that can be happily driven every day to work for $50,000

GOOD LUCK

yeah anyway...can we just forget about all the Skyline vs Holden crap and just get back to the topic??

if you read the thread, someone posted that he was a 23 yr old in his own car, doing 160 being followed by a cop in an SS. Someone in front of him turned and that's when he launched into the dealership..

He's lucky he didn't kill the ppl who turned, or even someone who was looking at the cars in the dealership :Oops:

Damn rite!

It really makes me laugh how much trouble these falcadore knuckledraggers go to in an effort to prove that their brand new low km, $70,000 dollar, car is fractionally better than someone elses $35,000 dollar car with 100,000km on the clock.

HELLO? So it bl00dy well should be!! But by a hell of a lot more than fractions of a second over a quarter mile.

If you want to know the best bang for buck car around have a look at getting hold of a sub-$10k VR4, spending about $5k on it and run deep into the twelves.

Personally I think holdens are POS and fords are not much better. 230kw from a XR6T? 4 litres with a GT40 on it blowing 6PSI?!?!? It should be making lots more boost and 400kw.

If they wanted to strangle it down to 300hp why didn't they put a GT28 on it and have it spool just off idle? How responsive would that be?!

W@nkers the lot of them.

Firstly am I ignorant, or are you afraid of the truth?  :rolleyes:  

Let's talk top of the range. HSV is Holden's top of the range vehicle. GTR is Nissan's top of the range vehicle. Stock on Stock any GTR will beat any HSV. That's a fact.

I'd have to go for a) Ignorant.

A stock GTR is SLOW. It needs about $5000 worth of mods to make it what it should have been from factory.

Any stock HSV will beat any stock R32/R33 GTR. Stock R34 GTRs which are grossly underrated, would give them a run for their money. A GTR isn't the be-all and end-all of cars. They need to be modded to be fast. By today's standards, they're slow when they're stock.

It's this kind of attitude that gives Skyline owners a "wanker" and "ricer" title.... and deservedly so.

And who wants to get '89 GTR? :P Kidding. Skylines are getting cheaper. Cheap fast cars attract all sorts of people.

I don't want an '89 GTR. I said I'm looking for an R32 GTR. See? People automatically assume that it has to be an '89 model. I blame the 15 year old rule :)

95% of the '89 GTRs I've looked at, are pieces of sh1t. Finding a good one is like trying to find a vegan in an abattoir, operating the nail gun.

I would have been more than happy paying more for an R32 GTR before the market became saturated with these GTRs that would never have passed regular compliance procedures. GTR ownership should never have fallen to a $17,000 entry fee. It's ridiculous.

That's why I said kidding. I reckon it's more to do with popularity of R33 importing. There are a lot of them and they are affordable. As to '89 GTR's - most of them would end up for sale within a year because people did not understand how expensive to maintain they can get. Besides, 15 year old rule is almost over now.

    • The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!
    • Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.
    • Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 馃槢
    • 500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
