its quite simple, nissans goal for the GTR was coming up with a homolgated street vehicle that could be successfully raced with minor modifications.

LOL...I wasnt aware that Grp A Touring cars was production car racing :P

They had far more then minor modifications...but i know what you mean.

Its up to the individual...i would love to have GTR toy car, but there is no way i could afford to do what i like to do with my car if i owned a GTR...so it will be different for everyone.

I dont think there is any real argument... the GTR is simply the better car.

Personally i could never own an R34 GTR, having seen the amount of attention they attract, i just couldnt own it....and i have little brother syndrome, i like trying to show up the bigger brothers, may only happen once in a lifetime, but me and my 2.0L will take that moment to my grave :P

But if you ask any owner of a GTR they will tell you that it's a money pit.

ask any owner of a Nissan Skyline and they will tell you its a money pit... not maintance wise but eventually that modifying bug hits you and your pockets are the first thing that gets in infected :)

:lol: not doubting it **JaR**! But GTST owners are better off than GTR owners when it comes to modifying.

I heard you have to be careful if changing the rims with a GTR because it screws with the HICAS/ATTESSA is that true?

lol yeah that i'll agree with, simply coz its got a GTR badge prices are nuts :(

i dunno about rim sizes affecting hicas/attessa?? wouldnt changing rim sizes only affect the speedo reading like on any other car?

yes the 4wd system goes funny when the wheels are not same size allround

Yes i agree GTR's are a money pit..

there is so much u can do to these things that make it go bezerk

i have driven 32/33/34 GTST'GTT/GTR's

there is no doubt that the GTR is a superior allround car.

responds extremely well to basic tune ups.

but as every1 says breaking a RB26 is what us GTR owners fear the most

Break a RB20/25 ??? easy just go out and buy another 1

break a RB26????? not as simple for starters they cost 6-7 G's just the engine it self no turbos and add ons etc

but in the end

i'll never buy a GTST unless it was a 4 door :(

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
