lee060 3 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 which model? , we work on a r33 GT rb25det with HKS front mounted cooler and full remap! . thats a hoot :D rwd single turbo 6 clyinder . amazing noise as long as you can put up with the tackyness of the interior , of course it aint a vw . other than that , nice motors , personaly id say go for a GT-R far more potential liam Link to post Share on other sites
petervr6 0 Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 was looking at the sinle turbo havent really looked into them yet had a quick look but ye the interior is shite the sound it wicked and im sure there pretty rapid but still thinking as the VR would have to goe but it a hard choice.

Seademon 0 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 My mates jist bought GTST which is the single turbo rear wheel drive, he loves it! Sounds really nice - good for drifting, interiors not too bad I didnt think. His is running about 280bhp but they are easily tuned. Link to post Share on other sites

matth76 1 Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 The GTR is in a different league, twin turbo, bigger 2.6l lump, 320bhp standard, 4 wd and 4ws, far better handling set up, better interior, bigger brakes. Very good if you want massive power, however the smaller brother gts-t is also a very nice car and often overlooked in the jap tuning world. But it is becoming a lot more common now. As its a turbo it does have very good tuning potential. As standard it has 250bhp and has very similar performance (0-60 in 6.5 - 7.0) to a lightly tuned vr6, mainly as its a fair bit heavier - different story if you tune it though. One thing it does have is rear wheel drive which is very fun to drive, but take it easy in the wet or damp!! Make sure you don't pay over the odds for one as I have seen quite a few overpriced ones advertised. Go for it mate. I'd look at getting a GTR front bumper fitted and side skirts as it looks pretty boring as standard. How much you willing to spend? Have you thought of any other alternative jap models?

Luke 0 Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Im sorry but id have to go with earwig on this one boys,gtr all the way baby :-p Tbh when ever i look at a gts/gts-t & eny other sh*t modal other than a gtr i just look at it as though he couldnt afford the gtr(sounds snobish but its true) I can spk about both as ive driven a gts-t & gtr,both R32's.The gts-t was lightly tuned & felt like a rwd saff cossy with a crap interior! On the other hand the gtr was an experiance i will never forget,was running around 450/500 bhp with hks 2510 turbos,bigger injectors,twin hks mushroom filters,hard pipe kit,remap,boost up,think you get the point guys :-d LOL enyways its the only car that ive been in thats taken me to almost 165mph on the a127 down where i live & it a proper buzz i must say! Keep the vr unless your gonna get a gtr fella Forgot to say if you do go out in a gtr get the driver to give it a good launch of the lights,6000rpm & dump the clutch,its a stomach tunning experiance your love & will make you buy one 8o| Link to post Share on other sites

Earwig 89 Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 To me getting a lower spec one than the GTR is like buying a 1.4CL as you cannot afford the VR6 or R32....Or buying a Boxter coz you cannot afford the Carrera 4 or something.....Just my Opinion :-)Mark.

Seademon 0 Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 But if you want a rear wheel drive skyline so that you can drift etc a GTR will be no good as its 4WD, u could drift 1 of them but not so easily - I wouldnt say a GTS/GTR is like a 1.4CL/VR6 tho but each to their own :0) Link to post Share on other sites
