hey guys (and girls), im looking at buying a skyline but not sure if i want a r32gtr or r34 gtt(manual, turbo, coupe), i know the gtr will have more power but they are pretty old now and im thinking r34 would be more reliable and just newer, iv got bout 25 to 30 grand to spend, any suggestions.

I was in the same predicament a few months ago... I bought a nice 34Gtt and wouldnt think about changing it now!!!

Depends what you want to do with it :dry:

The 34 hasnt missed a beat yet!

i think what he meant if that u would get a gtr u'll be tempted into the tracks and that would set u back heaps. but then again 30k is a decent budget for a well tunned 32.

daily drive go for the 34 mate, simply less to fix up, newer more reliable etc. both cars would satisfy u on the weekend track days.

wat do u mean only 30k,i thought that would be more than enough

This has been covered so many times:

Buy a GTR for 20k, drive it for a few months, then put wheels on it and maybe exhaust, the motor then breaks and you've got to rebuild an RB26, then here comes a nice fat bill which will blow your 30k budget right out of the water

Totally agree mate. But we can't EXPECT his motor to die. It's safer to assume it needs a rebuild, especially seeing as a new owner will be excitedly thrashing about, but the turbos will be on their last legs for sure.

If you want comfy, cleaner and hassle free daily driving get the GTT (i would). But if you are serious on performance and don't mind refurbishing the GTR (which would make it nicer to own anyway), even rebuilding the motor just to be safe, then fork out $20k and set aside another $10k for renovation on the GTR.

Both choices have their merits. You decide.

lol @ 180sx guy .... u see the R34 being smooth to drive??? compared to ur 180sx and the GTR coz its the same age?

I had a 180sx.. its a piece of shit compared to the GTR. it drives nothing alike.

Dont get me wrong.. i loved my 180sx to bits, but it doesnt have anything on the GTR in any aspect.

As for the GT-T, great car, great engine, great chassis, looks great, goes good enough for every day, is lower km's on motor, has less km's on chassis, has newer interior, But its not a GTR. Its just a GT-T.

If u wanna scare urself stupid when u thrash a car.. GTR is the way, if u want a more refine but ultimately much slower car, then the GT-T is the go... Just be aware that both cars run ceramic turbos. and although ppl love sayin gtr turbos r older blah blah blah, what makes u think the GT-T has had an easier life than the GTR??? what makes u think that a GTR is still running the same turbo it had when it left the factory???

i would probs reccomend the 34 just for a daily drive and reliability

that being said i love my 32 gtr

even tho it may cost a bit in the long run, pople forget that your buying a super car for 20k, or in my case 15k :(

Just like in top gear....
