NISSAN PULSAR GTIR "RB" (RACE VERSION) - The Original WRC Hyper Hatch

[@jamesjoshua9069]

I have owned two of these. My first one was around 2004 it was 500HP and built like a bullet. THRASHED it daily and nothing ever went wrong. The handling was on rails. Raced many lambos ferraris skylines amg's and many others and they couldn't catch me.. the look on there faces was pricless. Was one of kind and badly miss it ! Unfortunately not many around these days that were prestine condition like they used to be.. lets hope they keep them alive and healthy!

[@rewinapier8474]

These things were crazily modified in NZ back in the 90s. Back then we had the pleasure of a lot of these rare type JDM cars. Definitely a bit of nostalgic seeing this car lol. Thanks for the memory. 👍🏼

[@lilripsta911]

I went through 3 gtirs when i was in nz , most fun car I've ever driven to this day.

[@boredcast7708]

GTI-R, Familia GTR, Galant VR4, Legacy RS, Evo 3 those were the days!

[@anubis4496]

Those were the days, the USA secretary ruined the prices here for everything lol, no more 1K rbs or Srs

One on car sales now for $40k... one of the best hot hatches

[@svold]

underrated gem of a car

[@samjackson1818]

Good to see you feature my favourite hot hatch from the 90s, I also happened to see one on the west gate freeway which I got really excited as it was the first time for me to see one. They're also called baby Godzilla and had the better sr20 motor out of all the sr's, that's what I heard from watching other videos that other you tubers did on it. I would love to own one as it would be dream for me and make 4 5 or 6 times more power than what it came from factory.

[@HarrodsGarage]

Ahh I miss my GTIRs. Great video buddy. Good to see another melbourne KZbinr.

[@mr.rb26dett14]

Thanks Clay, excellence as always with a fab review! The GTI-R turned out to be an average rally car and was pulled from the rally curcuit after less than 2 years. Top mount intercooler, the then average Dunlop tyres and the knock sensor (robbed up to 60Hp in hot condtions) all contributed to it's lack of Group A success - Stig Blomqvist achieved 3rd in Swedish rally and a young Tommi Makkinen not far behind. It had it all; but was not wasted. It is a better road car than Delta Integrale EVO (which is the ultimate rally hatch of the Group A era). GTI-R are rarer now and as a Japanese Performance road car from that era (find a good one, though), only eclipsed by the GT-R itself. Not sure if this one you've tested is a real RB - only the door cards attest to that. "RB" had grey cloth seats with vinyl backing borrowed from the base model, 2 spoke plastic steering wheel and no ABS, no parcel shelf. Looks like an S1 too... Nice one overall though.

[@craigpitts7949]

RNN14 101016. Seats and wheel were changed for the series 1 well because they are better. Stock RB seats and wheel were pretty much throw away items back in the day getting the car ready

[@mr.rb26dett14]

@@craigpitts7949 Good to know. Yeah, the LX spec seats are a bit lacking, to say the least! It looks like a really terrific car too.

[@TaxEvasi0n]

I've got a stock Q pulsar, same interior. I swapped the bonnet for the GTiR bonnet and it now looks mean asf. Even for stock, it packs a decent punch when it's running at peak. It's by no means fast or powerful, but it definitely takes off and gets up to speed.

[@forresttucker168]

I have owned 3 different GTiR's in my boy racer days, lovely cars, bit understeery, but I loved them.

[@lilripsta911]

I miss those boy racer days 😢

[@rewinapier8474]

Yip the days when you didn’t care being called a boy racer, because that’s what we did. 😎

[@icebear1935]

What a sleeper. Cool camera angles from behind clay when driving.

[@zpkpk]

I would skip the weird angles. Odd and detracts from the car in my opinion.

[@mrquattro180]

I had one of these 1994 model running stock with just induction kit exhaust and bleed valve and a dump valve making 320bhp, it was black with black tinted windows 18inch massive wide 5 spoke chrome wheels made it look like a drug dealer or pimp car, cops were always wary of stopping me. it was fast as fuck and so much fun. lift off over steer was unbelievable beautiful on this car, then my mate bought it an put some silly little 15 white rally rims on making it feel skittish and not solid and planted like the heavier 18 wheels. it would storm past 160mph pulling hard. owned a lot of cars and this was the best. perfect power split for beautiful sliding.

[@txddyfarquh69]

Alotta Kiwis knew there was something special about these little Cars like the EvoZero, LegacyRS and GTiR. Prob be hard to find one of those 3 unmodified, even had a highschool mate modify a GTiR many years back. For a Female?...she did EVERYTHING the Boys would have loved to do. I hated her for a long time 🤣🤣🤣🤣👀😭

Us kiwis were so lucky with the cars that were floating around back then

[@rewinapier8474]

@@rwd323 You’re not wrong. But that’s the thing, there was so much candy to choose from, we were definitely spoiled for choice. A lot was wasted, crashed, thrashed. I’m sure if some new now back then, there would be a few good examples still lurking around the streets today.

20-30k as of late, varies a lot depending on the condition. You can get an SR20DE powered N14 Pulsar for wayyyyy less, but obviously it'll be FWD and naturally aspirated.

Itbs are not an upgrade on the gtir. Those cars came standard with itbs like the gtr skylines. An upgrade would be like fitting a sr20ve/sr16ve head that has variable valve lift and timing and larger valves and ports compared to normal SR20DE and DET engines.

[@ryanwolfe911]

I own 2 of them. Their Achilles heel is the shit gearbox, they can’t take much more than 350whp through them or they shred 2/3 gear or shoot the main shaft out the back of the case. Nissan could have done a much better job with the transmission and it would have been a serious contender
