2.26Mb English Word document with scanned images. I will keep this up for a limited time - download away.

Interesting for the 34 GT-t owners here.

It starkly highlights just how high spec. 34 models are compared to the 33 GTS-t...

Look at the interior and features - traction control, abs etc. etc. it is higher spec. car than the 33. At a higher price of course.

The interior just looks better designed, appointed, that is all, European almost.

It clearly is pretty much the same car (it is a Skyline after all).

Hmm, I had a reply here, where did it go? Anyway... from my struggling memory it was something like this:

I agree that the R34 has a few more standard features. But they would only account for around 25% of the extra "value" associated with the car. And yet a GTT still costs around double a GTS-t made only a couple of months before it. Just because the price sticker is twice as much doesn't make it twice the car, not by a long shot.

Public perception is the main thing that keeps the R34 prices inflated. Well, that and their relative rarity I suppose. Give it a year or two when the R35 becomes vogue (ok most people seem to hate it now, ask them again in a year's time) and I'd expect the price difference between the R33 and 34 to be much more realistic.

Btw, I love my series 1 velour. Wouldn't trade it for the highest spec cloth interior in the world So on that level I don't even see the R34's interior as "better". As for the rest - aside from the different gauges and such it still looks fundamentally like a Skyline - far fewer differences than between, say, a VS and a VT Commodore.

Just wondering if you've been in and/or driven a ER34 JimX.

Or are you opinions based on photos?

[JimX]

I'm only referring to the photos and specs, but so is Tony. I've seen them up close in person, but never been in one.

Are they *really* twice as good in power, braking, handling, comfort, etc as R33's? If so, why doesn't the appearance reflect this?

[ed]

take mine for a test drive and tell me

[JimX]

Ed, cool!

Btw, I hope no one thinks that I wouldn't rather have an R34. I just wouldn't pay double for one. When the price comes down, I'll happily trade up

[T0nyGTSt]

I just love the cool looking interior - ed's interior is really modern looking. I did not know it was a series one and that's irrelevant, it's just a bit darker looking.

The 34 is a model update like any other - the 33 is much bigger advance over the 32 - the 34 gains the Neo mainly but the appointments are just more modern than the early 90's look 33.
