GTR

R32 - boxy looking thing with shite rims, easily fixed however. lighter/smaller than the others and more hardcore in its purpose, and of course the original. the cult hero. long live godzilla!

R34 - looks the best by far, interior + technology much better. a bit too pricey for me still, but def worth it if i could afford it.

R33 - average in every department compared to the other two. still a mean car, but doesnt stand out.

GTST

R33 - sleek, stylish (with a kit). IMO the best shape GTST, easily modified, lots of aftermarket support, best bang for your buck.

R34 - not a fan, less aftermarket support, my choice if i wanted to keep one stock.

R32 - hate the styling, but great handling. poxy RB20 lets it down a lot, not as tough as R33. drop a RB25 in and it might go hard, but it still looks like a bag of ass.

how can you guys NOT love the R33 GTR??!

sorry i think they're one of the better looking gt-r's

they're big, hulky, nice wing... then again i'm a fan of eclectic styling

my other favourite gt-r is the kenmerri skyline

Ultimately I wanted a R34 GTR. Looks the most bad ass and tuff out of all.

Latest technology and a lot more refined car.

But I am very impressed with the R32 GTR. It too can look very tuff and hold an aggressive stance and is the orginal Godzilla.

Raw power performance.

R33 GTR, bit on the chubby side LOL! But still capable of performing very well and looking good.

R35 gtr> R31 Silouette>R33gtr>r32gtr>r32gtst>r33gtst>r34gtt>R35 (those non turbo things)>r34gtr......

I think the r34 gtr was one of the more uglier looking lines from the outside, sure there good cars performance and interior, but id rather the look of a black r34gtt instead, ultimately i love the gtr r35 and the old skool r31 gts.......

but im still happy with the look of my r33 gtst series 2 with gtr front.... just took this pic now

The gtr range is all good to me: it brings out the best in some people.

Stop at a traffic light or pertrol station or maccas and you may end up having a conversation with a complete stranger.

Many times ive had a smile, a chat bout cars, even dedicated v8 crowd will wanna have a chat about turbo engines.

Alot of people dont like the r33 gtr but i like it, its kinda more grown up. Jst like a conservatively dressed female that bends over and you notice her lower back tattoo; might as well be a bullseye

R35 is not a skyline.

while it may be an a stonkingly good car, it doesnt have an RB, doesnt have manual box, is designed to be difficult to modify, and looks hideous. im glad its as fast as it is, no doubt due to the paddle shift etc, but im sorry i just dont like it.

+1 to R34 z-tune. best car EVER.

You overlooked the main reason we don't like it......

can't afford one :D

Lets be honest here. all the skylines/GTR's are bashed with an ugly stick compared to the true beauties of the car design world.

Z-tune is a good car to drive no doubt but when it comes to it's looks.. what is it they keep saying at the moment ?

Lipstick on a pig :)

I've owned a few GTR's GTST's of differing types and I've also owned a 1977 Volvo station wagon with a V8 in it at the same time. So I am afraid with tastes like mine the skyline/gtr is guilty by association. ;)

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
