I had this same choice and went the 34gtt - 33 was never an option as I hate the body styling.

In regards to the 34 (briefly):

Pro's

- Newer car, less age-related issues

- Less driving wheels is less stuff to break

- More unique vehicle

- Nicer interior

Con's

- GTR is my dream car (34GTR anyway, 32GTR is my dream weekend track baby)

- Performance, sheer thrill of driving a race-bred vehicle as a daily

- Parts are easier to get than the newer 34gtt

Anyways, at least you're in a good enough position to be making the choice! :)

My dream is to own a 34GTR by 2008, the GTT will be my baby til then

yeh the plan was to by mid next yr have the extra few k i need to make the choice. At this stage its looking good so was just starting to think about it but im worried about the daily driver being a gtr mainly caus of petrol so id have to go out and buy a shitty civic or something from 1985 lol

r32 gtr with a rebuilt engine, i wouldnt touch an original engined r32 gtr with a 10ft stick unless u like forking out for rebuilds :O or buy a cheaper one with a high km engine but good body/interior and rebuild it yourself. dont think paying 28k or whatever for an original one will be fine, the engines are way past there used by date in 99% of cases, especially if u wanna pull good numbers with it. the rest of the car is usually reliable (maybe transfer case needs new clutches is about all). the interior is abit 80s though, but id rather a 80s interior and good driveline/engine, than fancy new interior and rb25 :sick: and if u wanna do a skid just wire up a switch to activate 2wd :O best of both words. 2wd with over 350rwhp is a waste of time in my opinion (on the street anyway)

I had this problem also but I went for a GTT 4Dr as my wife would bash me for getting a 2DR.... LOL ... and also another thing alot of GTR's that I looked at where very dodgy in the way they have been maintained , after all they are about 15 years old or more.....

LOL after see-ing so many people starting to get their hands on R34s, i'm planning to sell mine soon and getting an EVO 8 ( which i don't think many would buy ) I do love my 34, soon, they will become just like the 33s. R34s are going to become a common sight :D

This is very true, R34's are still rare enough around here to turn heads (I even caught a girl taking a photo of mine yesterday when I was down at the shops). But at least for the moment you can enjoy driving something that gets noticed until they become as common as a falcadore.

LOL well said gozirra, due to the drop in prices for the R34s, it is becoming more affordable for everyone to purchase this wonderful car.

Parts wise in my opinion, they are pretty expensive still. Love my 34 but soon, it's time to move on for AWD goodness :)

One year ago the choice was R34Gtt or R33GTR they were the same price.Both around $35000.

Alot has changed.

If you want depreciation go GTT, if you want performance go GTR.

I bought the GTR33.......after driving a GTT34 so their is my answer. :D

go the GTT mate

r32 r's are a dime a dozen and really not worth the heartache od owning such an old car, unless you're going to big it up majorly with rebuild/upgrade turbos etc

"such an old car"?

89-94 is too old to consider? 17-12yo isn't all that ancient! Alot of GTR's have relatively low km's. There are some very good ones around, and they are a performance bargain! I don't know where you are but GTR's aren't a "dime a dozen" around here.

personally, if it was a daily driver, I'd probably take the 34GTT, mainly because I'd be less paranoid about it getting stolen, but as a toy car the GTR wins hands down.
