Gtr's - R32, R33 Or R34

[J.P.V.]

Hey Guy's and Girls,

Given we are all Skyline lovers (nothing perverse) I thought I would post a topic to see what others prefer.

I love the R34 GTR, and it is a great looking car & awesome driver, but sometimes I feels it lacks the excitment of an RZ Supra (bare in mind that 4WD & RWD play a part in this).

What are your thoughts?

Hey Guy's and Girls,

Given we are all Skyline lovers (nothing perverse) I thought I would post a topic to see what others prefer.

I love the R34 GTR, however I am the first to admit that although it is a great car to drive, it sometimes feels to lack the excitment of an RZ Supra.

What are your thoughts?

Lack the excitment of a RZ Supra????? I think you got that the other way around.

[noise]

r34 gtr skyline for the win.

lol supra are you kidding?

[ignuz]

All of em have their ups and downs, love em all

R34 GTR is God himself scaled down into drivable form.

[R33DRIVER]

I used to drive R32 GT-R, I think it's the best GT-R, however, my car had been stolen, when I decided to buy a R32 again I can't find any good ones in the market, therefore, I brought a R33 GT-R instead a R34 GT-R for the reason that R34 is expensive, with the same amount I can put in a complete TOMEI similar RB26 N1 engines with T655 turbos, HKS pipes etc.

My friend just brought a Z-TUNNE from Japan and arrived to Hong Kong last months, the car is stunning but just don't know how to keep the best maintainance because no mechanics has the appropriate knowledge.

I fell in love with the R32-GTR back in 1990/91 & thats what make them my favourite

[ferni]

The newer the better. They all have the same bits in the drivetrain pretty much so they all go well.

[Sl!m]

is this another from of. this car vs that car

...

[Slide]

It could easily become one.

I dont really know.

I only have knowledge on R31s (Well kinda) so I dont know what GTR is better.

But i'll say the R34 because the newer the better, as someone already said.

[Primordial]

yer this is most likely turning into another series bashing thread (old vs whale vs pricey)

The inside of the car is where you spend 100% of your time whilst driving it! So, the newer the better I say!! Unless you are an 'U'ber track-master, where an extra 50kg's is actually going to make a difference, they shouldnt be much more to it than that.

so therefore, the only real debate that remains.. is the 'looks'. but this is like debating people's favourite colour!!! Everyone is going to have a different opinion on this, but I think that the GTS-T's/GT-T's are a particluarly boring car in stock form. all it takes is a bit of imagination and modification, to make people to stop and say "WOW!". you can do that with just about any car!

personally, i think that the RZ supras are a MUCH better looking car then the 'lines in stock form.. they have that 'sports car' look! As for excitement, i think that the 'lines take it, just for the performace.. i used to have a supra, and they are predictably sloppy compared to the skyline. I have a lot more fun in the line than i did with the supra...

anyway thats my 2c

[Guest Mashrock]

the 34, for sure! its newer and more updated, tho it can kind of feel a little more like a machine..

i like the 32 for its raw feeling and appearence

I love em all....

R32 is the classic and would own one again...

R33 saw new developments in design and saftey

R34 is the youngest of the bunch and has the most gizmos...

So they all hold a special place for me... I have all the die cast models lined up side by side and would own any of them...

Yes the R32 is cheaper than the 33 and the 33 is cheaper than the 34.... Id buy the only you can afford to modify....

[Col-GTSX]

Oh and as for the supra... Are u kidding....

Good comparison for ya....

I bought the current R33 S2 for the same amount as a mate got his 96 model 6 speed...

We have both spent the same amount of mods... (With in a grand anyway) and i have him by 0.8 of a second down the quarter.... With him driving my car and vice verser the skyline beat the supra by 0.7 second...

So we are both similar drivers... Just shows supras are more expensive to open up...
