R34 Gt-v/gt-x

[Angelus]

Hey guys,

I'm just trying to confirm a few things I've seen on the forums here recently in regards to the differences between R34 GT-V's, and GT-X's.

I believe it was in a research thread, it was mentioned that the main difference is that a GT-V is basically a GT-T optioned chassis (bigger brakes, and so on), but with an RB25DE (neo) instead of a DET (obviously).

I'm just trying to confirm if this is the case, and if possible, maybe see if I can get a hold of a list of differences between the GT-T, GT-V, and GT-X (and I guess any of the other N/A Model 34's, like the GT25).

The reason is that I'm a p-plater in Melbourne, and subject to the new laws (which means no turbo til after I'm off my P's).

I want my R34 now, and if the above is true, then obviously a GT-V would be a better longer term option, whether I'm turbo'ing the original engine (Thanks 666DAN ), switching the engine, or just getting into N/A performance.

Is anyone able to enlighten me?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thank you.

Here's a bit of reading on the GT-V for you: http://www11.ocn.ne.jp/~skyworks/gtv_specs.html

Personally I would go for the GT-V for the turbo brakes and other handling features. Nissan failed at N/A brakes, and having the bigger R34 4 and 2 pot calipers with bigger rotors from the factory is certainly worth while.

What you said in your 2nd sentence is pretty much spot on. Thats why I bought one.

I've added links from my research in previous threads over the past couple of years so a search may bring them up as this has been asked before.

Also want to mention the GT-X also comes in a turbo. Alot of people don't know this.

Thank you! Lots of good information

I did do a search, but unfortunately, my work has a fairly annoying firewall, which stops me from searching properly, and from replying

And I have seen the GT-X turbo, does that mean it doesn't have the bigger brakes? Would be odd

I will be trying to find your other threads.

Again, thank you guys for this - now I just have to work out 4 or 2 doors, and see what I can find.

GT-X is equipment trim level - it has no bearing on things drivtrain wise such as HICAS, turbos, brakes etc....

Basically a GT-X is a speced up model of the basic GT such as Xenon lights (usually butchered during compliance), premium audio (please note this is jap spec), rear privacy class, heated mirrors... probably other small things here and there......

GT 2.0

GT 2.5

GT-X 2.5

GTT 2.5 (turbo)

GTT-X 2.5 (turbo)

Essentially a GT-V is the same spec level as a GTT-X 2.5 (turbo) - minus the turbo charged engine and guages.

Hope this helps.

A cusco cylinder stopper helps a bit with the 25GT brakes, so do decent pads, slotted rotors will see you stopping very well

Just a side note on the brakes, i've got stock r34 na brakes on mine and i'm very impressed how it pulls up. I can get abs kicking in quite easily at 110km/hr, so on the street its more than enough. Even with the pads in it, it takes some very spirited driving it get them "fading". I actually think it pulls up harder and faster than my brother r32 gtr (std brakes aswell).

With that being said, once it gets the new engine i've new rotors, calipers, pads and lines for it
