I've currently got a 95 gtst and I'm contemplating on whether I should buy a 34 gtt or spend about 10grand on my current car. I like the looks of both cars however 34's are sort of boxy but tough at the same time and 33's look sleek but there's so many of them. Anywayz any recommendations would help, sank you.

You're going to lose most of that money either way, so do what you want to do. What do you want from a car? A reliable, nice car? Or a 300kw monster?

You will probably lose less with the R34. R33's are hard enough to sell as it is at the moment.. if you spend $10g on it you put it into "special interest" bracket. Only people interested in heavily modified cars will want to buy it when you decide to sell. There's fewer people that would want to buy a crazily modified R33 than there are that would want to buy an R34 with some mods. This is due to the usual insurances and reliability concerns.

Get the 34...newer car, less wear and tear, and better looking imo. Dont get me wrong id say sell the 33 put 10g towards a 32gtr, but then u get the headaches of mechanical wear on the car due to the age. 34 gtt comes out the best i think. good luck tho.

If it was a Series II R33 it'd be worth keeping and modding but... I wouldnt upgrade to an R34 GTT - be a bit boring basically the same car just newer, slightly more power and big wad of cash more money to buy... A real upgrade would be an R32/R33 GTR. But its up to you what you feel is an 'upgrade'.

:rofl:

Yeah i guess you need to define "Upgrade" in your own mind before you make any choices...

To me and upgrade is newer/more features/better technoligy/better fuel consumption etc etc...

u could get a gtr.

or u could spend it all on ur current car. id probably do the 33 up. all for the reason of the 34 being a very similar car to what u currently have. so the upgrade wont be all that benifical to you personally *hypnotoad* :D

what are you looking at geting out of te r34 anyway that you couldnt get out of the 33. at least the 33 with $10k thrown at it will be a car with benifits :) where as a mildly worked 34 is still mild in all respects.

      App to track mods, repairs etc.

      By cardre · Posted

      Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know about an app I use to track the modifications, repairs, servicing etc I do to my R33 GTR. You might like to use it as well. I'm biased because my son just wrote and released it! But I think you might find it useful to... https://trackmymods.com

      Hey everyone, been on here for a while, but never introduced myself before. 1st import was a R32 GTS Type M, then R33 GTS, now R33 GTR - each one sold to help pay for the next one. Over the years my son has seen me modify and do changes to my imports and was one of the reasons for him to build an app for car enthusiasts like us. (He can only afford a 2007 Honda at the moment, but he'll get there!) Anyway, bit of a proud Dad moment as he's released an app that I use and you all might like to as well. https://trackmymods.com

      It will sound tragic and you wished you didn't have 1x exhaust per turbo. There's a reason why most S55 owners change to a single mid pipe.

      Echo the comments about the well preserved condition it's in. It has the aero bumper too for extra points. Nice car, and please keep it like that! 🙂

      1. There are no real performance benefits. It sounds different, and as the pipes are not as large diameter you can claw back some undercar clearance or run lower (if that's your thing). 2. Twin pipes, offering exactly the same cross sectional area as a single pipe** will have higher pressure drop - so will not flow as well. That's because there is more surface area of wall per cross sectional pipe area, hence more frictional losses. ** But of course, it is almost impossible to get 2 pipes that are exactly the same XS area as a given typical single pipe. eg, 2x2" is not the same as 1x 3", although it is close. If the 2x pipes add up to less XS area than the single - it will just be flat out worse. If the 2x pipes add up to a bit more than the single, then it might come out as a wash. If the 2x pipes are substantially more XS area than the single, then it will probably flow a little better. 3. No. Why would there be? What have cats got to do with boost creep?*** ***But for f**ks' sake, please run a cat. 4. If you want.
