Can Someone Please Do A Comparison?

[PhantomLord]

hey everyone.

i've been lurking here for a while reading up on some stuff, but now i need skyline related help

i'm looking into buying a skyline...i WAS settled on an R32 GT-R for quite some time, using the money i save from the purchase to use on cosmetic and performance mods...

however, obviously, like every skyline fan, i dream of an R34. with the GT-R models being above my price range, i looked at the GTT model. i was surprised that a R34 GTT was very close in price to the R32 GT-R...verily, within the thousand.

NOW...while i do love the 4WD tracktion and launch of the GT-R...cosmetically, ergonomically, indeed, all-round, i like the R34 better.

reading this site (http://www.autowholesale.com.au/spec_r34.html) i see that the RB26DETT engine makes the same power as the RB25DET...which is wonderful.

the drive type, on the GTT model, says FR...what does this mean? Front wheel drive? Rear wheel drive? All wheel drive, but not 4WD? i thought the GTT was RWD but hey...could be wrong.

to the point of this long winded post...could someone PLEASE do a direct side by side comparison of the R32 GT-R, and the R34 GTT...both in driveability, if you have driven both, or your experiences if only driven one...but what i want most is feedback on performance, handling, and features.

for example, the R34 has airbags, the 32 doesn't. the 32 has central locking, power windows, etc...which i would say the R34 GTT would have...but i'm not sure not being very learned in R34's.

any help would be MUCH appreciated.

thanks,

phantom.

they are two completely different cars. they may state that they have the same power, but they dont.

They make power very differently. They are two very different cars. If you want something that makes decent power down low, that you will really be driving every day and revving to a max of say 3-3.5k, then a gts-t or gtt will do the trick.

To really feel the rush of the gtr engine, you need to rev it to about 5-6k, depending on whats been done to it. For a first skyline i would advise you to go the gt-t. It is much newer, less things will break, and you will be overall much happier, and start saving up towards that 34 gtr.

The gtr is awd and the gt-t and gts-t skylines are FR (RWD)

with the leftover money i was going to do a lotta work anyways...manifold, turbo swap, injectors, etc, all the usual.

if you say the 34 GT-R and the 34 GT-T make different power...how much less is the GT-T making?

features? the GT-T has power windows, remote central locking, all that jazz? might seem obvious for an R34...but just getting things cleared up before i start looking.

oh, and does the GT-T have ABS?

Have a look at the torque figers for both there completely different engines. Dont be confused with power ratings, the RB26 engine will outperform and RB25 easily.

And yes GT-t's have ABS.

FR means front engined rear wheel drive too.
