A friend and i are having an argument about 2 cars and which is faster / better handling and generally the better car for what you buy a skyline for.

I thought it a good idea to put it to the sau -wa branch.

Case in point.

R33 Manual 2D

V

R34 Auto 4D

Any opinions? thoughts or confirmations please? sorry if this is the wrong place wasteland or whatever.

Should we assume both cars are GTR's? Ill say no cos one is a four door lol.

In my opinion i would go for the 33, purely because i would never own any automatic car, let alone a sports car. Ive heard from a few people on these forums that their automatic gear boxes are letting them down heavily.

In terms of coupe vs sedan, im not 100% sure, but doesnt the sedan have different suspension? Ie, softer, more body roll. Not to mention a sedan would be heavier, so i think the 33 beats it for handling.

Speed would probably be a close one, but once again i think weight would be a factor.

Anyway, im definitely no expert, fun topic though =D R34 manual coupe ftw! =P

Everyones gonna have there one sided opinions. As for the fastest, take it down to the drags but judging from what you've said the R34 will more than likely be slower having AT and the extra weight. Cannot comment on the handling.

Ive never driven a r33 so dunno about it but ive driven a r34 4dr auto before and at it wasnt a slug. The neo engine is quite pokey and it did get up and go for an auto. I think they have more power than the r33 rb25 from factory. I do have to say tho, the triptronic was a dog for giving it stick. Very unpredictable on what gear it wanted to be in. You can see how people can loose control of the car with a auto.

      HyperGear vs Pulsar Turbo RB25DET

      By Eric0 · Posted

      UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!

      Probolt

      I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Beanie · Posted

      I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Beanie · Posted

      Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
