The GT-R name don't mean shit mate.. It'sthe engine that counts. My XR3i could have had 550bhp if I put in a Cos YB....

But he got a 2.5 turbo so it's a GTS-T and no way you getting 800bhp from one of them...

Well, I spose if you modded it to higest level you could get 800bhp out of it if you jsut keep cranking the boost right up.... But you only gonna get it for about 3 secs

Funny Steve - it was you that was telling me/all of us how utterly shite the RB25 was and how you'd never see over 600bhp with one

ive never said that

they ARE shite, and youd not get 600bhp+ without serious uprated internals UNLIKE GTRs what can do it on std internals, THATS what i said.

But it can be done, if u was daft enough to bother...

Steve, Have you been in/driven a R33 GTR ? Do you think there worth the extra £5-7k over the R32 GTR ?

I know steve will say that R33's are ( ) But it's all down to personal taste I recon. I personally prefer the R33 cos whilst a Saff Cos looks like a taxi, the R32 looks like the same bloke tried to design a taxi with only 3 doors

Nah, I like the R32 for it's retro, fucking hard street racer image, but I jsut prefer the subtlety of the R33

I dont like R33GTRs at all, looks wise.
Performance wise they the same car really barring having slightly better brakes, and weighing more, which makes them feel a bit less nimble and chuckable compared to a 32.

You paying for a newer car, and a different looking car (which i think looks like a boring blob comapred to 32 and 34 GTRs), not for a better drive.

Only GTRs i really like, and ever really liked, is R32s, tho if i could afford one id have a 34GTR as well as a more mild tuned comfy day to day car, but i cant, and if i could id rather spend it on more mods for the 32.

Been in a 33, but never driven. Driven a good few 32s.

Who knows.

Who cares.

Anyone got a light?
