WHY does everyone seem let down by the GTR

[EJ25RUN]

What? the R34 weighed a ton compared to the competition and has TONs of electronics. Every GT-R from the R32 on got bigger, heavier with more gizmos.

The R34 was smaller than the R33. But overall you are correct. The RB26 Iron block I6 was too heavy to stay competitive and the GT500 car moved to a 3.0 TT v6.

Demand is huge, Nissan can't build enough.

LOL, Aint that the truth

Nissan raises R35 GTR MSRP by nearly $7,000

I totally agree the R34/33/32 are the ones for tuners. The R35 has a blackbox and as stated, tehy WILL void the warrenty at will if they want to. We have seen though people crack the box (Mine for example) and companies modify the car. BBS released 20 sets of LMs for the GT-R.

It will take time but people will do it.

I look at it differently. I see the R32 as the great development for Group A in 1989. Nissan took everything that worked already, and put it in a package that would effectively be the end of the sport. The R32 was Nissan's racing yardstick. It was never meant to be more than just another low production hyper car like the Cosworth Escort and Evo Mercedes 190.

About the tuners. Mines and MCR had their cars before they were released on the street so im sure Nissan had pretty much let them have first dibs.

Rule of thumb;
"You can be FASTEST around the track or you can be FUNNIEST around the track". There is a difference

Very true. This is why people like me believe in the H box transmission so much.

That is NOT the GT-Rs purpose. The purpose is to be Japanese "Godzilla" and lay waste to the competition in a bigger, badder kind of way. GT-R=Fastest around the track. That is what its trying to do.

I read the Godzilla name actually came from Australia when the R32 put the Holden/Ford V8's to shame and won both the 91 and 92 Bathurst 1000.

Good post, nothing to refute, I agree!! I do think the R34 is bigger than the R33 though...... but I could be wrong
