I had the choice of Cheap 33 gtr or nice R34 gtt... i went the 34 obviously, main thing that swung me was the interior. R33s are just bland inside for me sadly. I think nissan could have put in abit more effort!

All the R32/33/34 are bland. Like comparing poo. I actually think the R34 GTT has some of the worst interior fabric colour/pattens you can get. Personal tastes differ.

Ridiculously harsh criticisms for someone on a skylines forum...

Exactly what car has a better interior than a 32 or 34? I think the R34 interior is very nice.

Definitely go the GTR btw.

tastes do differ.

to me though the dials, dash, door trims, interior trims of the R33 (specially gtst) are quite unsporty.

a big let down to the exterior looks of the R33 i believe.

R34 they made the dials nicer, triple gauges, sportier seats, trim, doors, dash. IMO anyway

R34 GTR is not bland though, depends on what your comparing it with i guess?

gtr's dont hold their value, they just depreciate at a different price range as they initially cost more to buy . r32 gtr's in decent condition are going for the price of an s2 r33 gtst (15-18k), and r33 gtr's are going for around $25k.

I don't know where you shop around , but last I looked a good GTR33 was still fetching $30K Plus and this is stock.

As for your R32GTR...show me one for 15K in good condition...body and engine wise and I will buy it Tomorrow.

When you have owned a GTR and put some money(10K) into it with upgrades etc....No...and I mean NO gt-st

will keep up with it on the track......on the drag strip...around corners...up hills.....should I go on... :laugh:

And this is with a stock motor...if you have some work done on the internals...well lets just say..not many cars

on the road can come close..around corners..on the track...in drag race up hills..... :P

Before you comment on a GTR....drive one around for a few days.....you might just realize what I am talking about.

Didnt mean to start a bit of a slagging war, but on the other hand it is good to see that SAU members are passionate about their cars no matter what it is.

Talking with minister of finance and she has given the all clear for a GTR.....IF...... I still want one in 12months!!

I said of course Im still gunna want one then, but yeah bit of comprimise.

I will have to stick with the GTS until I can find a decent GTR that I can afford/talk her into, by that time they might be a bit cheaper and will be able to bolt some upgrades on straight away. but if I had the Cash and import experience I would get something like this I reckon, http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/deale...php?carID=63404

One would reckon the last thing I would want to do is drive a car on the weekends after doing 5000k's in my truck every week but hey....ITS A SKYLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the operative word is 'good'.

Compared to the GTR the supra commands greater ultimate power. www.realultimatepower.net :)

If I had the money for a new GTR I would buy 5 2jz supras and change my name to TRD ( pronouced t-rd or turd).

Sorry off topic and I couldn't find the link to my thread quick enough

Prestige Motor Sport are quite good. I have 2 friends who have imported a S13 Silvia K's and a R33 GTS-T. Decent prices and fairly nice cars.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
