in all reality its which ever one you like more than the other.

plus look at which one is looked after better, lower kms.

in saying that id probably prefer the 33 over the 34..id only ever buy a 34 if it was gtr but thats just my opinion chose which one you like the most.

NA R34 > NA R33

newer, more reliable, interior is moderately upgraded etc. etc.

it's all the little things that count... you won't regret it

never owned an NA Skyline in my life but i love the look of the R34, i own a GT-T and used to tell myself i wouldn't buy an R34 unless it was a GTR...

reality is, not everybody can afford it... go the R34, a lot newer and classier looking

Andrew :P

R34 without a doubt! Hands down!

5 stud

Less km's

VVL

Nicer interior

Newer

*bling* factor

But one question?.. why would you consider a "down grade"? The price difrence is quite large.. would the entra money go on mods?.. If so.. Id go a 33! Slap some coilovers, wheels, cams, zorst..

my 2 cent

NA 34 17 - 18

NA s2 16

1 grand extra just for the convinience of a new model.

Im leaning towards the R34 now, my dad's starting to brainwash me aswell haha.

MR_XTC

go the r34 i own one they are great, and if i wanted a second car id go the r32 i still love the shape.

just a quick question where are you from cause those prices are quite high i can get a turbo r34 for that price. i picked up mine for 13,000 all up. or are you just giving a rough quote.

i'd go for an R34... however like cris said can the money go to supporting mods if your not too fussed about looks?

the R33 is actually more compatible to other parts than the R34. i.e. R34GTR seats will not fit in an R34 GTT (which i am 99% sure is the same as the R34 GT) - weird huh?

scotty014 im in NSW dude, well i saw one for 17. Im really keen on getting it just waiting for the funds !! :thumbsup:

and EUG, im looking at getting a R34 or R33, working on the cosmetics and audio departments, and slight mods to the engine itself, then heavy engine mods will be undertaken once i get my full licence, seeing as i am disqualified at the moment.

I get my licence back in March, and till that time i will just be running the car in the area and cosmetics, and im into the R34 now because it will be less of a headache, but seeing as they are not compatible with much R34 interior parts, that doesnt phase me as much. Because the main aspect im looking at is the engine compatibility of the 25GT and GTR.

One more thing, is the 25GT AWD ? and will this cause loss in power ?

Is there a way to change it to RWD only ? cause' ive heard a few people talking about a fuse which you take out to make it RWD and pop it back in to make it AWD, is this true? and if so i'll be doing it at my own discretion, will it be bad for the car in the long / short term ?

If your not fussed about HEAPS of mods.. then go a 34 hands down without a shadow of a doubt! There are TOO many benefits going a 34 over a 33.

25GT AWD is an R34 GTS4.. 25GT is simply an NA RWD R34. NA GTS4's have an RB25DE VVL with the ATTESSA (4wd) system like the GTR has.

"loose" power.. not exactly.. because R34's run a constant 5% of power to the front wheels.. a dyno read wont show you have as much power as a straight RWD car because 5% of the power is being sent to the Front wheels

The "fuse" you speak of is only in R32's.. where you can disengauge the ATTESSA (4wd) system by simply removing a fuse.. For R33's and 4's you need to remove the front prop shaft from the frnsfer case to the front diff.. No.. this will not be bad for it.

Hope this answeres your questions

Edited by GTS4WD

Cheers man, cause i had some doubts about the AWD aspect to it.

Im lovin' the sound of this !!

Im gonna' go check out a 34 in Eastgarden's tomorrow, hopefully turns out to be good, and will hopefully get it by the end of the month!!

I really like the R34 now, even though a 34 was what i was looking for, but after a lil' brainwashing from dad, im gonna go for a 34.

SCOTTY get back to me about where to get cheap 34's lol, cause all i can see are price ranges of 16 - 19

MR_XTC

r33s are better

34's are ugly and more expensive

buy my car, youll save money and can spend it on making it better :banana:

lol says the guy with a 33 haha....

at the end of the day its your choice, take both of them for a drive and see which one you prefer. The rb25 is as tough as nails in both models so i doubt you'll run into any troubles with either the r33 or r34 mechanically (unless it was severly abused).

I personally perfer the 34, and because of that i drive one, it all depends on what tickels your fancy. imo the r32 is a great shape and i thought with the r33 they lost a bit of the aggressiveness by having a "smoother" looking car, but with the 34 its more inline of the r32 with a more "square" shape. The 34 has more power, is definately nicer inside and the exterior is upto the individual but for the extra 2-3k you would be crazy to get a r33 over a 34 (na wise).

Yeah i used to have the same mind, if i was to get an R34, then it had to be a GTR. But after reading some of the forum posts there are just more to it with a GTR than meets the eye such as cost of insurance, maintenance and paranoia (if somebody scratches the car). I didn't have enough cash so i bought a GTT.

IMHO, i'd get a R34, there are less of them on the road, they look better than a R33, slightly newer.

    • I mean I can be OCD'y but this is really over the top. At that point why not just run a full wideband fuel controller? Especially if you run 3 widebands. The system works pretty well, which is trimming low load stuff to be within a few percent of the base map. Pre-engine _change_ the base map was only 1-2% off, depending on ambient temp, elevation, etc. Under load the LS is really very straightforward to tune, enough that a wideband closed loop would be overkill. If I really cared (and I hope I don't) I can always just go back to the MAF system the car actually came with. Which does all those nice calculations for me (temp, altitude, etc), now that you can buy 102mm MAF's that do not cause restrictions.
    • Good afternoon Team , just a quick update on performance mods  Current Mods list (Installed) HKS - Power Editor (Came with the car) looks to be some kind of boost controller RV37 Skyline 400R (SKYLINE) | FUJITSUBO  - Cat Back  RV37 Skyline 400R (SKYLINE) | FUJITSUBO  - Front Pipe AMS  - INFINITI Q50/Q60 RED ALPHA COLD AIR INTAKE KIT AMS  - Performance Heat Exchanger Intercooler Not Yet AMS Alpha Performance Full Race Down Pipes  - to be installed in May 
    • I'd be installing 2x widebands and using the NB simulation outputs to the ECU.
    • Nah, it's different across different engines and as the years went on. R32 era RB20, and hence also RB26, the TPS SWITCH is the idle command. The variable resistor is only for the TCU, as you say. On R33 era RB25 and onwards (but probably not RB26, as they still used the same basic ECU from the R32 era), the idle command is a voltage output of close to 0.45V from the variable resistor.
    • It's actually one of the worst bits of Nissan nomenclature (also compounded by wiring diagrams when the TCU is incorporated in ECU, or, ECU has a passthru to a standalone TCU).... the gripe ~ they call it the TPS, but with an A/T it's actually a combined unit ...TPS (throttle position switch) + TPS (throttle position sensor).... ..by the looks of it (and considering car is A/T) you have this unit... https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/2262002u11 The connector on the flying lead coming out of the unit, is the TPS (throttle position sensor) ...only the TCU reads this. The connector on the unit body, is the TPS (throttle position switch) ...ECU reads this. It has 3 possible values -- throttle closed (idle control contact), open (both contacts open, ECU controls engine...'run' mode), and WOT (full throttle contact closed, ECU changes mapping). When the throttle is closed (idle control contact), this activates what the patent describes as the 'anti stall system' ~ this has the ECU keep the engine at idling speed, regardless of additional load/variances (alternator load mostly, along with engine temp), and drives the IACV solenoid with PWM signal to adjust the idle air admittance to do this. This is actually a specific ECCS software mode, that only gets utilized when the idle control contact is closed. When you rotate the TPS unit as shown, you're opening the idle control contact, which puts ECCS into 'run' mode (no idle control), which obviously is a non-sequitur without the engine started/running ; if the buzzing is coming from the IACV solenoid, then likely ECCS is freaking out, and trying to raise engine rpm 'any way it can'...so it's likely pulling the valve wide open....this is prolly what's going on there. The signal from the connector on the flying lead coming out of the unit (for the TCU), should be around 0.4volts with the throttle closed (idle position) ~ although this does effect low throttle shift points if set wrong, the primary purpose here is to tell TCU engine is at idle (no throttle demand), and in response lower the A/T line pressure ... this is often described as how much 'creep' you get with shifter in D at idle. The way the TPS unit is setup (physically), ensures the idle control contact closes with a high margin on the TPSensor signal wire, so you can rotate the unit on the adjustment slots, to achieve 0.4v whilst knowing the idle control contact is definitely closed. The IACV solenoid is powered by battery voltage via a fuse, and ground switched (PWM) by the ECU. When I check them, I typically remove the harness plug, feed the solenoid battery voltage and switch it to ground via a 5watt bulb test probe ; thing should click wide open, and idle rpm should increase... ...that said though, if it starts & idles with the TPS unit disconnected, and it still stalls when it gets up to operating temperature, it won't be the IACV because it's unused, which would infer something else is winking out...
