It's funny, I never wanted to start a comparison, but it ended out to be a war of sorts. You have to remember, the GTR is sort of a cult car, and I can honestly say there is nothing else for me. I will buy the R35 is it is V8 with 4wd. I love the smoothness of everything, not very much drama, like a 1986 Toyota Corolla AE 86 even with just a supercharger, much less a turbo.
I love all cars, and if I listed all the cars I have had (and still have), most would think I am bragging, or even lying. I have been accused of playing Grand Turismo too much.
The fact of the matter is, I have been an import, specifically, a Japanese car enthusiest since I was 4,(my dad had an RX-3) I am now 27. I have been into motorsports personally since I was 15. I have done everything from gymkana, dirt trail (rally), drifting, and finally 0-400 meters.
Saying this, I also work on all my cars, and others as well. I choose my cars very carefully, minus all my 4wd cars (Familia BFMR, D27a Talon, RNN14 Pulsar GTIR.) I am hard on them too, so it would be way to expensive of a hobby to be into if someone else was doing the repairs.
In event the GTR is too hard to work on, however; it isn't in the cards for me. I will settle for a "saishugata R34" and keep the R32 too, and maybe bring it to my dad's house in North Carolina just to sit. I regret selling all the cars I have had, but the memories, and pictures are still there. I am very nosalgic, maybe that was the reason for my suggestion to do a inline six, you just can't beat the torque of a inline 6, although the RB isn't the torquiest.
The GTR is truly a nice car, it's hard to explain, I will submit a post of what I wrote my friend on a catch up race I had, meaning I let them go way before I went, it is scary when the fastest car you ever had was a tie between a 16G 2.1 liter Talon, and a Sport turboed FC 3S (koki of course).
Gas milage is pretty bad, about 5km/liter. 72 liter tank. About 75 bucks to fill her up every 4 days. I bought other cars because the gas was so much. At 105 yen a liter for hi oc, it's ****ty, but I have other cars, Starlet Turbo EP82, and a Charger 86.My plans are to give those to my bro when they are able to drive.
Carson, omae nihongin nano ka? Okinawa no hito ka? Ima america de shigote yateiru dakado. Anata wa doko ni irundesuka?
