Who on Veeky Forums has driven a GT-R?

Who on Veeky Forums has actually driven a GT-R?
Which generation did you prefer?

I have driven them all in video games dating back to Gran Turismo 1

Now I'm on Forza 6, I always manage to acquire all the skylines pretty early and rice the shit out of them

I always return to the r33 being best

This response didn't really answer your question but it is a legitimate bump

I have much of the same credentials as by far my favorite was the Hakosuka lightened up on sticky tires and about 250 screaming NA power

the agility response and revs were just amazing compared to any of the later heavier AWD GT-Rs

I've only driven an R34 GT-R
it was modified so I have no idea what the stock one drives like

Rented a 2013 through Turo a few weeks ago. What do you want to know?

Why do you feel the need to lie on the internet?

Visited a friend down in straya who owns a r33 GTR.

Only one i've driven.

I own a non turbo R32 sedan and got to have a steer of an R32 GT-R. It feels really short compared to my car and obviously hauls arse

Got to drive a customer's R32 awhile back and it was fucking terrifying.
Basically stock except wheels and coilovers but driving somebody else's RHD car for the first time ever in Boeing traffic probably shaved 5 years off my life.

Only in Forza. It's a shit car.

Elaborate.

I've driven a 32 and 33 on the street, both lightly modded, and a stock 35 on the track.

The 32 was my favorite. The best comparison I can come up with is that it felt like a well-tuned E36 M3, but with AWD that only rears its head when you want it to. The 33 was similar but a little less direct.

The 35 didn't impress me much. It's a technically incredible car and really fast, but suffers from the same lack of driver involvement that most ~100k sports cars have these days. I'd much rather have a Porsche for the same money (though the 991.2 is underwhelming too), or even a Shelby Mustang for less.

Plenty of R32s and R35s
Don't care for either too much honestly

I only have ever driven the 32, have it here with me. Bought it stock and modified it myself. They're *okay* stock but modified is much, much better.

It's nose heavy and you can feel it, especially on tight courses. But on the highway and big tracks it's a fucking monster.

I've heard the 33 is more planted and stable, and that the 34 is more like the 32 but better.

Only an R35, didn't really like it but the "drives like a computer" regurgitated nonsense does not apply, I promise you can break it loose and crash it into a wall if you wanted to, I've seen it done masterfully. 1st gens are the only ones I have the slightest interest in.

RHD feels normal to me pretty quickly on the street just driving around but parallel parking/tight spaces is weird, it's like jacking off with your off hand

This Boeing?

It was only for a brief period and like I said, it was the first time I'd ever driven a RHD car so I didn't have any time to figure out reference points and all that before getting shoved into rush hour traffic. It went something like this:
>~15 minutes before closing
>Hey user, take this out for a test drive and tell me if it's still [some running problem I can't remember, stalling on idle or some shit]
>O-Ok.
>Back out of parking lot, go to intersection of arterial road
>Almost get hit twice just trying to pull out into traffic because people are impatient fucks
>Have no idea where lanes divide
>Just generally stressing out trying to keep a sizeable bubble around this car in bumper-to-bumper traffic

Yes, that Boeing, but I was caught in traffic on Broadway

What you drive regularly? I live on casino road and work by the Xfinity arena. Wanna join our Washington Kik group?

Nowadays I switch between pic related and a Mazda B2200 that I've posted several times before. I also have a Cherokee but it's down until I get around to fixing the gear switch.

I have the same credentials as most the other fags because I live in the US, but I've "driven" the R34 in Assetto Corsa and the pigfat memes are all 100% accurate.

SCbro's analysis of the R32 applies here as well, it's like driving a yacht if on the touge and tight tracks, shit on some courses, you spawn in and can't even get out of the pit without brushing against something purely for lack of space to maneuver the big fucker around. Definitely very noseheavy (57% of the weight is in the front or something).

Obviously vidya games aren't entirely accurate but I think it's at least a step above Forza if Porsche and Ferrari are using the thing as a fuckin "test drive" apparatus in their showrooms.

Maybe I'll eventually get to drive one in real life, I'd rather have a tiny RWD machine even if the Skyline has more in common with RWD than anything else in terms of handling.

I think it's really cool that Assetto Corsa simulates the R34's 4 wheel steering but it's taught me that I hate 4 wheel steering.

Coincidentally that game also makes me really want an FD.

is it worth 15 bucks?
It's on sale on steam and I was looking at getting it but I was really turned off of modern racing games thanks to PCars which had some of the shittiest handling I've ever seen in a car game

You say that, but have you seen any of the pro reviews of the 991 GT3? When the reviewers talk about the 4ws it usually cuts to a clip of the car taking a corner at speed and it looks diabolically functional... like that moment when all four wheels sync in a direction and the body of the car looks like it's floating through the turn. I've never driven a 4ws car but I'm guessing it was jap pioneering implemented way before it's time and will now be perfected and reapplied in the future

It's pretty lacking in terms of content, and what modding community puts out in my opinion is rarely worth using. If you don't like driving supercars and race cars on tracks you're going to get bored unless you're an autismo like me who literally only drives the cars from the Japanese pack. You can make adjustments to cars such as tire pressure, downforce, suspension settings but beyond that there is no modifying the cars, you can choose what color you want but it's only stock colors and sometimes some liveries. You can raise and lower the AI difficulty but they still use perfect lines with 100% traction all the time, it seems like it only scales the speed at which they drive or something like that.

Basically it plays good but there's very little to play, at least for what I want out of it but I'm clearly not the target audience.

I see, many thanks user
I wanted to get FH3 but >windows 10

I also want FH3 but
>Windows 10

huh? why would I lie, R34s arent rare in australia

My friend/old boss owns a 991 GT3 and has tracked it extensively, and he hates the 4WS. I don't remember his exact wording, but basically he said it made it really hard to tell what the car was doing, and it wasn't very predictable.

This is a guy who knows what he's doing on track, too - several regional/club championships, a couple of seasons as a paid pro driver, runs a shop that's built multiple championship winners for clients, does R&D for several highly regarded aftermarket companies, will be driving a prototype at Thunderhill this year, etc., so I trust his judgement.

I'm the user you responded to- and wow. Guess that's what I get for listening to the critics who get paid to praise certain cars and not enough time talking to actual owners. I think it'd be a little misleading the way it's set up, with the rears turning opposite the fronts below 60ish mph and in direction of the fronts above 60ish mph. I assume there's protocol where there's zero degree of RWS and I'm sure it's either exactly at the changeover point or damn near it... but still probably has a steep learning curve

i own one, it's fun.

have driven all the skyline gtr's and 35, each is good in it's own way.

You back in the states finally?

The 32's benefit is it's light weight makes it good in tighter corners. It's downside is the age means shit is going to break often and be expensive.

The 33 and 34 both have better computers which not only put down the power better, but minor tweaks to aero which make them better than the 32 in high speed cornering. They will also launch far better due to more weight over the wheels, giving you more traction.

The 35 is even better in high speed cornering, but worse in extreme hairpins. Not as engaging BUT not as dull as everyone seems to think. Faggots throwing memes out have never actually driven one, if you think it's like a computer game you're not driving fast enough. Get some balls.

I ended up buying the 33 because i do more high speed cornering than tight twisties and the 34 was double the price for not much more and i would rather spend that money on mods. (Which i did. A lot of them.)

And yes, i'm the aussie 33 cunt

I'm going to buy an R35 without driving one, does that make me a cuck?

>Only in Forza. It's a shit car.


of course. you are underage

Yup, since February

Never driven one, but been in a passenger in a R33. Absolutely loved the sound and how tight the car felt. Interior is really trash tier tho, full of bad plastics and did not age well. However the exterior is my favorite of all Skyline, it looks the most brutal.

R33/R32 interior is similar to a 240sx/180sx hence why its trash.

R34 is much better
