I was always happy with the R33 GTSt, and admit openly what a good car the R34 GTt is standard. I'd also driven a number of R32 GTR's and while good, didn't rate them that highly as an overall experience. Now having bought an R33 GTR (95) as well I can only say they are a whole order of magnitude better than The GTt or even the R32 GTR.

Unless you can afford an R34 GTR there is only one choice.

ive thought about r32 gtr but i just cant see myself degrading to an older car im into more newer cars.

if i had to get a gtr it had to be s2 vspec or nothing..

In terms of age, yes its a downgrade. But as a car in general, most people would consider going from a R33 GTST to a R32 GTR as an upgrade!

Yes a 19 year old would know it all. Maybe 0-100 by about 1/10th but the more advanced ATTESSA on a 33 would mean a faster car on the track, where it really counts. Look the 32 is good, but as an overall drive experience the 33 is better, and the GTR34 is by far the best from a brief lap of Phillip Island with Snowman.

LoL.....just because you're old (you started it) doesn't make you right.

The R32 GTR has quicker 0-100 and 1/4 mile times. It's a fact, don't like it? Bad luck. You can't change that.

I'm not sure about track times, I'm not really into track racing. Maybe someone else can help out? Maybe in your opinion the track counts more, I prefer drag times. That really comes down to personal preference.

I never said the 32 GTR is better than the 33 GTR, I like both cars, and personally, I think the R32 drives better, it feels more agile, in terms of looks....most people prefer the 32, need I refer to some recent polls?

However, I do agree with you on one point, that being, that the R34 GTR owns it.

I believe the R33 GTR is quicker on the twisty stuff from reading lap testing times at Nurburgring in Germany. But the R32 has a quicker 1/4 mile is also stated in many places. This sounds about right because no company deliberately builds a sports car worse than the previous model. I suspect aero packages and weight distribution has a lot to do with it (not just the total weight).

Anyway that is off topic slightly... If you want something less common I'd go for the R34 GTT. If all you care about is perforamce go the GTR. Probably R32 for Drag but for track you would have to weigh up if the R33 is worth the extra money.

Perosnally I really would love an R33 GTR (v-spec). But I gotta keeps saving and hope the one I am looking at is still around when I get back to buy it.

Cheers and happy car buying :)

Hah, nice.

The 32 feels more agile due to the more "taily" nature of the attessa programming, but 95% of the folk saying they drive better wouldn't know a racetrack if they fell over it. It's true that it's all preference but why buy a drivers car then go straight. We'd love to see you at the racetrack sometime, you'd love it too. Come to Sandown for a look Sunday.

People will also prefer what they can afford, or percieve to have a chance of owning, and make excuses for everything else except their Ültimate. Take the polls with a grain of salt. Most, if they were offered a freebie would take the 33 over the 32 in GTSt or GTR anyday, regardless of what they might otherwise say.

It's always hard to accept, but laptimes count for more than quarters. :)

I prefer a R34 GTR, I can't afford that? LoL. No excuses though? Hopefully down the track.

Honestly speaking, I could have purchased an R33 GTR but stuck with a late model R32, personal preference. Although I have a soft spot for the midnight purple GTRs, that's my favourite (factory) skyline colour of all.

Hmm I wouldn't mind getting into track racing, but only when I'm older and can afford to run and maintain a car on my own, without relying on my dad's money...LoL

Anyways this is getting ......go the GTR over the GTT..that should get things back on track.

So back on topic, don't get a GTt if you are even considering that you want a GTR. 32,33,34 are all better.....No Question.

Ali, hope to catch up Sunday. Look for the fat Old guy in a Purple thang :O

I'm going to start coming to track days in the near future, not this sunday though coz i've got exams the following week :confused:

I think most people wont pay attention to the driver (no matter how bad he is ;-)) of a Purple GTR, they'd just be looking at the car :drooling:

i think Mike (JETLNE) is more interested in drag than track work. With either r32 or r33 you still have to upgrade a fair bit to make it worthwhile to hit the track and pull some decent times. but same goes with drag racing. 2 completely different setups

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      In a few years from now, you'll regret that. It'll eat away at you, knowing the truth of the ugly hiding beneath the beautiful exterior... 😛

      R32 GTR - Where to begin

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I don't think the G2 profile is particularly dangerous for the engine per se, more just are you actually ok with the turbo lag trade-offs? If the answer is yes then go for it. I personally don't think I'd be ok with it because I spend so much time at lower RPMs and I really enjoy the feeling of being able to stay in 5th gear on the highway and just roll into the throttle to get boost. Or staying in 3rd gear on "gentle canyon cruises" without feeling the turbo lag too badly. The 525 pump should be able to run flat out on factory lines but I would bet the pressure drop from pump to regulator is quite impressive. I don't know how much it would be exactly but I've seen figures like 30 psi thrown around.

      It's interesting seeing everyone talk about what level of risk they are happy to tolerate.  Building a GTR always has a level of risk, you could be that lucky guy that drops 20k on the engine build alone and still has the thing go pop on the dyno. Life is fun like that.  The way I see it, the thing is a toy to be enjoyed. I'd be happy to turn up the power on stock motor and limit the risk with sensible tuning and engine protection. If it still goes pop, it is what it is. The car isn't a daily driver so it can happily sit while a plan is made to sort it out.  Given this thing will be a street car only, I really feel it's worth the (relatively small if managed well) risk to turn the power up to around 350KW on e85.  I don't think anyone getting into the skyline game now is doing it out of logic. Surely it is a purely emotional decision so I'm not sure how important it is to think about the engine build logically. The heart wants what it wants.  @joshuaho96 little note for Josh, I run my 525 pump flat out all the time and through the factory lines without any issues. (excluding the melting connectors, that's sorted now. we'll pretend it never happened lol)

      But the Nexus S3 is very expensive and won't be as purpose-built for the application as a separate electronic boost controller :^) More seriously my pet issue here would be that the Walbro 525 running at 100% duty cycle is going to require more FPR than the stock setup can handle. I'm also pretty sure from what I've seen elsewhere you might want to slow down the pump regardless unless you're going to come up with some way of upsizing the fuel lines coming from the fuel tank. Factory 8mm fuel line doesn't actually flow very much if you want to keep pressure drop down between the fuel pump outlet and FPR. If you really want to "keep it simple" I would run only as much pump as you need and source a fuel pump controller to slow down the pump in the vain hope of being able to run stock-style FPRs which are pretty dinky. Or just use the HICAS lines and it should be mostly fine. OP should also really think hard about what profile they'd want out of the turbo. My pet choice here would be the G1 profile rather than anything higher power but YMMV. I already think ~stock turbo lag is pretty bad so I don't want to make it worse. In "gentle canyon cruising" I found that I spent a lot of time around 4-4.5k RPM. I also recommend DIYing labor if you're detail-oriented enough. Costs are high for labor + if you do it yourself you can be your own quality control.

      GTSBoy is again on the money. My actual advice? Sell the car. (really). For what it's worth as is, you can sidegrade into something much better. If you care about function then this is the actual move. If you want a Skyline to perform, set aside about $100K to do it. This is NOT a typo. You will see right away these are two very different mindsets. Realistically we're talking full restomod for any Skyline still kicking around. Have an honest think about which one you are.. and what you want to do, and how much you want to invest in this (with no return).
