I am from Sydney Australia and grew up in that era.

were very much familiar with Bathurst and the year that R32 GTR beat all the Holdens and fords.

Its literally, not the same car at all.

So using that car as leverage to glorify the RB26DETT is irrelevant.

I'm in asia, stayed in Japan for a year and a half. Safe to say I know about a thing or two about these cars.

So your sort of saying that JGTC / SuperGT S.GT-Rs, NSXs, Supras, even maybe Mine's BNR32-34, and rally spec Evos are not the "same" car?

Can you pls. enlighten me on how its "literally" not the same car?

i don't need to enlighten you. You seem to keep yourself quite entertained here.

You were talking about the Winfield R32 GT-R…

and using that as a "flagship" for the GT-R brand?, That car has nothing, stock.

and yet you use that as an excuse to boast the BNR34 over an EVO IX…


im englighted, i can tell you that.

lol. Just as I thought, so all the Super GT / JGTC, Rally, Mines, etc. cars are "literally" not the car they're thought to be.

Did I "boast" the BNR34? jeez... I am just giving actual facts and credit where credit is due. Remember I am not just a Skyline GT-R driver, but an Evo driver as well and loving it.

JGTC cars aren't really the cars they "say" they are. Supras have V8s, etc. i wouldn't say they are, in any way, a fair representation of their namesakes.

At the risk of getting another warning for trolling:

How can you be a an apparent fan and not know. They never even used a 2jz. Not that Wikipedia is gospel, but here:

"JGTC/Super GT
Since first appearing in 1995, Toyota has raced the JZA80 Supra as a GT500 race car in the JGTC series. Beginning with a four cylinder 2.1-liter turbocharged 4T-GTE mounted onto a stock bodyshell with wide arch body kit and spoiler.[18]

Over the years, as demands for expensive GT1 race specials became common, the JGTC regulation drifted away from FIA rules, as a result, the Supra has progressively underwent numerous changes over the years,[19] most noticeable, the numerous body changes and by the late 1990s, the Supra used a developed version of the 3SG,[20] which was developed from the IMSA engine and similar to the 3SGTE engine found Toyota Corolla WRC car.[21] By the early 2000s, for the benefit of torque, the Supra moved on to 3UZ-FE V8 engine."

Correct. Funny how some individual would say the same for other cars like the Bathurst GT-R.

Maybe I'll check around or ask that person if that GT-R32 has... umm... SR20.
