how are you guys goin.. im new here and need your advice on something :)

i am deciding whether to get a R32 GTR, R33 GTR or a R34 GTT

my first choice was to pick a R32 GTR because i just love them... they are the shit... love the way they look and im pretty sure that the r32 is a bit quicker than the r33 from 0-100 (but that had nothing really to do with it)

i than began to think that there wouldnt be many genuinely looked after 32's because, well they were made in the 90's.

so than i thought of a r33... again like the style of it and they again, CRACK! but i dont like them as much as the 32 but would still be willing to get one if it is genuenly cared for...

then i thought of a r34 GTT and wacking a nice looking kit on it with some good rims and lowered... i really think that a r34 would look good like that.. they are a newer car.. same price as a previous GTR and have lower kilometers...

even though they arnt as quick as the 32 or 33 GTR's but that wouldnt matter to me...

so basically my question is...

-R32 GT-R

-R33 GT-R

-R34 GTT with a nice kit, rims and lowered on some nice tein springs

what do you guys think... thanks in advance :geek:

bump* >_<

alright im leaning more towards getting a R34 GTT...

i know i know.. they arnt as fast... but it doesnt bother me...

i like the looks of the r34 and it can be made to look better imo

they are a newer car and performance isnt everything in my books at this stage.

they aren't a fast car til you make them fast and with a new turbo back exhaust, ecu and some other things i could get another est.30 - 35 kw hopefully :rant:

what do you guys think? post some pro's and con's

any help for my decision is highly appreciated

could look for an r32 gtr with a good structure (paintwork, chassi and panels etc) then with the money you saved on buying the r33 gtr, pull the motor out and get it freshened up with some new turbos, pistons, oil/water pump, timing belt, ecu tuning and gearbox/clutch/brakes

r33 would be my choice though out of the 3 as the r34 gtt is just too boring, when you have one and see an r34 gtr you just look sooo boring compared.

thanks for the replies guys...

but it hasnt made my decision any easier after seeing this

its a nice r34 gtt. something that i would eventually make the r34 gtt into..

now im not sure whether to go the r33 or r34... but ill manage..

thanks for your help >_<

I did the same thing haha

I LOVE the R34, they are much nicer and newer inside than a R33. And they go ok too with a few mods. But there is still a part of me that is just dying to get a GTR.... which is why I want an R34 GTR now, they've started to come down a fair bit in price.

Had the same dilemma as you did... 32gtr, 33gtr, 34gtt... ended up going the gtt.. haven't regretted it.

Yeah it's going to be R34 GTR or nothing for me.. that'll be the next ride hopefully in a few years. The 34 is so much more refined than my previous skyline (r32).

My advice is take all for a spin (like I did) and then make up your mind. We can't tell you what to buy.

depends on what you want

in my books the R32 is way too old.......same as the R33 is beginnning to be dated.....

R34 GTT is alot newer.....but still.......... it doesnt have the street cred as the other 2 u mentioned.

a GT-R is always a GT-R.....

but as in reliability......your chances of the R34 would be best...since there possibilities of being newer....

its all up to you

Depends on a lot of things. Is the car a daily drive or just a weekend cruiser? If you are considering a GTR as a daily drive make sure you sit down and think about the maintenance and running costs of them.

I use my car as a daily driver and on a regular day it will use 14L/100kms but then get into some twisties and get stuck into it and the car will easily drink 17 or 18L/100kms lol. Then there is the servicing and maintenance costs. My car rattles and squeaks and does all the other things that you would expect out of a 14 year old car. The interior is a bit dated and it attracts alot of attention from the police and wankers in commodores but its still my dream car and I love it to bits.

If you find a nice clean, reasonably unmolested GTR (I know rare as rocking horse shit) then you will never look back nothing else really compares to it for me.

They're all fantastic cars though so what ever you choose will be a good choice.

Good luck with the purchase :P

thanks for your input... im seriously considering my options...

question :) (its stupid but i need to ask)

is the skyline r34 gtt body the same as the r34 gtr body just different kit... just wondering :) curiosity

dude, how can you not notice the difference?!

Not only different kits.........the GT-R is wider......noticably wider too......different front guards, different rear quater panel on the Shell...

different bonnet, Different boot lid.

its harder to MOCK a GT-R with the R34 than the R33...thats why u dont see many FAKE GT-R R34s

apparently the GT-R has an improved Chassis.....im pretty sure ive read that some where....

15198_rear2.jpg15198_pic2802729.jpg

here are some of the basic examples...that make it hard to mock the GTR

and if so...would cost alot of money to do so...

i think there are kits sold on the market somewhere....

and there was a workshop that was reknowned to convert GT-Ts into GT-R with some great examples.....

but why buy a car to mock the other?

that would make you unsure of your purchase... where you could just buy an R33 GTR...

the performance of it would be far superior than the likes of the GT-T R34

Dont buy a gtt then try to mock it up to look like a gtr.

Be proud that its a gtt and buy it cause its what you really want not to try and make it something its not.

If you really want a gtr and you can afford it and its running costs etc then i say get it and dont look back.

no guys you have it wrong :D soz for giving the wrong idea

basically what i was trying to say is do gtr bodykits fit on any skyline.. (should of just said that)

http://tuningessential.trustpass.alibaba.c..._Body_Kits.html

i got the answer i was looking for anyways :P

i just loved that front and rear bumper and was wondering if it would fit on a gtt...

soz for the wrong impression but i wouldnt go around trying to mock a gtr... gtr is in a class of its own imho

the thing is........

if you go buy a complete GTR R34 Bumper....rear bumper....etc.....it wont fit...

look at the pictures ive posted....the rear bar for e.g sits flush with the widened guards...it wont work...

but there may be specially made GT-T R34 body kits to MOck the GT-R..

theres a really good example of a fake R34 GT-R somewhere ive seen online.....do a search im sure you will find it.

but like babyskyline said aswell...theres no point making it look like a car that its really not. thats equivalent to WRXs sticking on STI badges & kits...

at the end of the day....its still a standard WRX..

if you really want a GT-R......

i would personally pick out of the 3 the R33 GT-R. to me....i dont like GT-Ts or GTS or GTS-T or GTS-25ts etc etc..

but if your going to use a car as an every day vehicle.....its more practical with the R34 GT-T.. more reliable & less fuel costs.

let us know how you go...

lol AGAIN... its not mocking the gtr... its just a kit that i liked when i saw it and was wondering 'IF' it would fit the gtt...

in no way is it mocking the gtr...

i do appreciate the constructive critisim however and see where you are coming from...

but its not like i set out to be misunderstood at first :D

    • You have found the problem. The wire from the switch to the HB is shorted to earth. Now you have to physically find it and replace it. It won't be the switch, although following the steps above (and yes, where you ask, that is the light switch on the RHS of the binnacle) will rule it out for sure. Or not, if perhaps the switch has melted. But there's no route to earth inside the switch, so I can't see how it would.
    • I did read your post, a few times actually.    Done. Followed this step. [Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.]   Did this partially.. now that im reading this over, i only unplugged the LED lights. [Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches.] When you are talking about the switch, you're talking about the knob thing on the right side in the drivers seat right? If so, i need to take that apart?  [Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch.] At this point are you referring to the connector by the headlights?  [If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.] Did this. I can confirm that the LED lights aren't the issue [Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.]
    • Hey was wondering if you ended up installing the R33 GTR speed sensor - I found one too and wanted to confirm it's a direct swap into the R34 6 speed?
    • After 23 years of owning a Skyline, finally had the latch go.  Followed this guide,  works like a dream again. Great Guide 👍
    • Hi all,   I’ve got the biggest lot of problems with my R33 GTS-T   It was a freshly rebuilt 25th anniversary RB25DET (plastic cas, neo cams) probably 6 years ago now   The engine was running so well but I fkd up badly and trusted someone I’d known for 10 years that was well known around Plazmaman for his welding and fab work. I added a lovely photo of some of his previous work. Not sure why my car was worked on by whoever did this shit     I’m normally someone who would never open myself up to something like this, I still can’t believe I did it. Trusting him literally fkd it all up for me. Everything has been a struggle, like it’s almost been 6 years that’s how much I’ve just on and off been trying to work it all out.    All I wanted was a car that danced down low, like full boost from around 3~3500rpm to redline, don’t really care what power it puts down (if it ever does) but I just wanted it to be quick to get on it.    He recommended the turbo to get, I picked Hypergear but he told me to get the front 4” with a T4 and 0.68 rear housing.    I was expecting all these beautiful welds, tidy fab work and paid for it to be ready to go to a tuner when I got it back.    I got a car back that was an absolute mess, I actually couldn’t believe it was my car anymore. I don’t think you could even call what he did welds, they’re disgusting.    So I stripped everything he touched off it and with every bolt I loosened it just got worse and worse.    I covered it and literally built and finished another car in the meantime but now it’s getting to the point where I really want my Skyline back.   Its a struggle because I paid him to do all this shit because I didn’t know how to and now I’ve had to try and figure it all out omg    Please excuse the bird shit horrible welds, I’ve got my show pony car and am so beyond dealing with this car I don’t even really care at this point.    If someone told me about what he did to my car I wouldn’t have believed them but it happened to me. It was unbelievable. He went missing, my car went missing, it came back missing parts, the straight af chassis rails bore the scars of being dragged up a trailer backwards, even the sandwich plate was bent. Everything was leaking and open to whatever fell into it, rounded off/ missing bolts, power steering oil and coolant everywhere, no gaskets, parts stolen off it, even managed to damage the sump pan.   Promised me he’d finish the car, knew what it meant to me, I paid him thousands and thousands just for him to trash it. He told me he was fully licensed and insured, come to find out he’d cancelled his ABN, so obviously no insurance. I had laid up insurance on the car and would’ve been covered but I was scared they would’ve written it off or because the business was no longer trading I’d still be liable.    He was supposed to:  New fully custom mild steam pipe exhaust manifold with turbo location moved from factory position to high forward mount. (I don’t know if it is a mild steam pipe, I’ve got a funny feeling the waste gate isn’t in a very good position and I don’t think the outlets off each cylinder are equal) 4” custom stainless steel dump with external gate (he re-plumbed it) Cut and shut OEM intake manifold with throttle reposition (I ended up doing the throttle reposition) Box in pod filter (left out) New 100cel catalytic converter (pretty sure it’s there but unsure if it’s 100cel) Front mount intercooler piping fabricated to suit (all smashed up and rusty holes where he was supposed to make it look standard where fmic piping passes through. I don’t even think my front bar is going to fit 🙄) Custom 5” intake pipe from pod to turbo (didn’t come with it so had to do something to make it work with the Z32 afm)   Engine: Full cylinder head service & machining  Brand new valves Precision upgraded spring kit Engine block honed New bearings  New piston rings  New ARP conrod bolt kit New ARP head studs Cometic head gasket VRS kit   ATR43SS2 ball bearing turbo 0.68 rear housing  Turbosmart 45mm external wastegate (got delivered to the fab bloke, I’ve got no idea what spring is in it, I’m assuming the one that came pre installed) Walbro 260 fuel pump  Nismo 740cc injectors (tested to 880) Spitfire coil packs GCG FMIC RB25DET manual 5 speed 4:11 rear diff   I’ve got an Apexi Power FC in it atm, I was hoping to just get it to operating temp to make sure everything was okay before towing to a tuner but it’s over-fuelling too much. I don’t think that’s going to happen so i think I’m going to get either a Link G4 or Haltech for it. What do you guys recommend? I can’t work out the power FC so just gonna give up on that one     It’s got an exhaust leak coming from somewhere I can’t see 🙄    The fuel pressure was steady but now it like drops from 40 to 20psi randomly (noticed this yesterday)    I’ll attach pics of the shit he put on my car and the engine bay now as it sits    I really just need some help, I need a tuner in Sydney I can trust, I’d like to be with the car while it’s being tuned if possible, I know it looks terrible but unfortunately I’ve just got to put up with it for now and fix the cosmetic stuff later   Do you guys think the manifolds are going to be okay? Or do I throw the exhaust manifold and try again?   I don’t even think these combinations are going to work tbh   I know everything I fitted was rated to be able to take at least 400kW but most rated higher    If you’ve gotten this far I really really appreciate it 🙏 I don’t mind if you trash me or the car, I made a rookie error and f**k I’ve paid for it. As you’ll see 🙄
