You'll get more out of a R33 GTR for the same cash outlay. It will most likely cost you more to run and maintain though.

Depends on how much you like the look/shape/interior/extra features of the R34 GTT :D

I went for the R34 GTT because I am willing to hold out for an R34 or R35 GTR.

Cheers.

The GTR is a faster car and more fun out of the box :D

R34 GTT's are nice but they're the tame version of a GTR, nothing more (they're still an awesome car though).

I've driven both extensively and as long as you're prepared to put a bit more into the maintenance of a GTR, the GTR is 100% the best option.

I dont understand why the GTR takes more maintenance?

IMO both probably need the same oil changes, coolant changes. The only difference is your diff oil changes might be abit dearer in the GTR because your doing front and rear. Apart from that, I dont understand why maintenance varies

when stuff goes wrong it will cost more. And parts can be harder to find.

Go the GTR you will love it. Have you even driven the both of them yet? Surely you would have feel the huge difference, but i guess it depends what you want out of it.

Daegu, i've investigated that option and it's not as cheap or as easy as it sounds. You'd almost be better off saving the dough and getting a 34 GTR .. and judging by how much these things have dropped in price, it wouldn't be such a stretch.

Thanks guys for the suggestion

I think may go for the GTR..

Coz i may want the power more than the look. .. or RX7 s8.. it got power and look good as well

need start to seach for the good condition and cheap 33R now.

you can get decent r34 gtrs from japan for between 40 and 50 k now complied and landed

Interesting that you say that. My GTT would owe me about $50K including purchase price and many many mods. I wonder if I would have been better off waiting a little while and buying an R. Is a stock GTR better than a fairly heavily worked GTT? That is the question. AWD vs 2WD. GTR has the funky computer display, GTR looks meaner, but the GTT would now be running quite a few more horses at the wheels.

R34 GTR only cost that much to au? I saw in carsales peoples still selling over $70 - 90k so expensive

Thanks for telling me that....... I think i need to do more research how to get a 34R for between 40 and 50k as well

As much as I like the R33 GTR, they are hard to find one's in good nick these days.. their almost becoming like the R32. I was going to purchase one, but the R34 just had me for some reason.. sleeker design, More rigid and sturdy chassis than the previous models. great weight distribution. and handling. etc etc. and the Neo RB25 is a great engine to mod. puts out the same power than a stock R34GTR but its just RWD. which is more fun. :thumbsup:

I've had both cars before too. As Tommo said a gtr is always a GTR. GTT is the slightly tamer version indeed.

Although we have to say it is newer, but hey, i did come across problems with my GTT that needs to be fixed as well and GTT parts ain't that cheap too. Went to the 33 GTR and never looked back. Handling and performance wise the GTR craps all over the GTT.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
