What’s The Difference Between The R34 Gt-v & Gt-x?

[pkblade]

A mate is in the market for another Skyline & its come down to a 2door R34 GT. But, before he commits would like to know the difference between these two special edition NA models?

If I remember correctly the GT-V is RWD, comes as 2 door or 4door & has similar specs (brakes, suspension etc) to the GT-T with the exception of the standard traction control & centre console gauges.

Would I be right in assuming the GT-X is AWD?

Any help would be appreciated.

GT-V = N/A

GT-X = turbo

Are you sure the n/a's came with gt-t brakes?

When I was shopping for my car I was at a dodgy dealership on parramatta road that was trying to pass off a n/a that had a turbo conversion as a GT-T (selling at a gt-t price etc.) It had the crappy non turbo brakes i:e no cover over the tops with the nissan writing, smaller than the gt-t brakes etc.

It looked the goods as a Gt-t, nice rims/kit other than the fact I spotted the difference between the brakes. The look on the salesman's face was priceless when I caught him out trying to sell it to me as a factory GT-t. Moron

Safe to say I didn't buy from there

Wasn't my old blue one was it? It ended up down that way, resprayed original colour with chromies and no boot spoiler....the whole 'How to turbo your N/A" thread is about it's build-up

I'm pretty sure the GT-V version had the GT-T brakes.

Cheers 666DAN. However, been reading up on the very little info available on the GT-X & came across a pic of a GT-X that allblitz has for sale (on the forums) & it looks NA (as attached) - ie. can't see any boost gauge, no intercooler & different NEO cover. So it seems the GT-X comes both NA & turbo.

GTV and GTX are both NA. GTX has the higher specs eg: turbo brakes, strut brace, GTT wheels. GTX-T is turbo...just like Petes (R34GTX)

[666DAN]

Ahh OK so they are called a GTX-T...thought they were all called a GT-X to denote better spec of the turbo model.

[n15m0]

If i'm not mistaken, GTV is AWD N/A too. GTX had the turbo upgrades...but GTX-T actually had the turbo

[666DAN]

Nah GT-V just has all the turbo goodies, without the turbo.

25GT-Four is the AWD version...apparently there is a GT-X Four also

Hmmm, same colour. Although the one I saw had a nissan sports kit & 18" or 19" bronze wheels. This would be going back a few months too.

The dealership shall remain nameless, although they may be found opposite from a restaurant that makes very tasty kebabs & right next to a hi-fi entertainment shop that has it's origins in Strathfield.

hahahaha..same thing happened with me at parramatta rd. The one i saw was in midnight blue with yea rims, exhaust and fmic. The second i lifted up the bonnet i saw a na motor with a turbo conversion staring in front of me. The guys there were clueless and saying that they got it traded in from guys over at qld then they kept telling me it was the gt-t model.

I then pointed out to them the whole engine is different, showed them under the car and told them it hasnt got HICAS, brakes, and the bloody cover which says NEO STRAIGHT 6. Also showing them pics of my old na r34 Also had the 3 guages in the middle but the discolouration says its been put there recently.

SUss things: The ignition has been changed so there are now 2 keys, the boot is pretty messsed up, with panels broken off and missing, no engineering certs and blue nissan label scratched and in pretty bad unreadable condition.

Yep..selling at GT-T price as well. If anyone here do see this car, dont for a second think of buying it. (oh yea it has a sunroof as well)

LoL, if the wheels were bronze it's probably the exact same car that I saw. it also still had the blue GT badges if I'm not mistaken
