GT-X vs GT-R
 
Does anyone know the options or spec differences between these two I have a friend that knows everything (or just about ) the GT-X but doesn't know anything about the GT-R. Was just curious because I was going to be getting new badges for my GT-X and was just thinking about changing it up that's all. Thanks for the help.

GT-R was no sunroof, all lightweight stuff open diff and steel wheels I do believe.

Made leightweight from the factory intended to have most parts replaced with aftermarket race pieces i assume.

A turbo RX-7 with an open diff? This was JDM spec only, right?

correct. Then again they got no non turbo cars....

GT-R is closer to an US S4 cosmetically as well from what I believe with no side skirts, etc.

From what I heard, the GT-R is like a GTU, or an S4 sport, except turbo of course. Manual windows, steering, no rear wiper, etc. Kind of a lightweight, stripped FC.

But I have been wrong many times. Where is RETed when you actually need him :P

Thanks Ganashi that really helped. Where have you been I've seen you pop up randomly on the forum but not in person. We need to meet up sometime.

djmtsu 12-10-2008 08:31 PM

Sweet, I was right ;)

It has nothing to do with which year the FC was made.
The GT-X is basically a higher trim level than a GT-R.
Consider the GT-R as a base model.

At first, I thought this thread was going to be about the Mazda 323 GTX vs a Nissan GTR comparison. lol

WE3RX7 12-11-2008 01:37 PM

Lol - I was pretty close. Japan gets all the fun stuff!

FortyfiveD 12-11-2008 08:00 PM
