The R34. It has more doors, a bigger boot, is newer and is more practical. Or perhaps the R33 because it has 5 gears and more available parts?

It all depends on what you are comparing the cars on. :P

^^ "very unpredictable on what gear it wanted to be in" try tiptronics? lol

this question is stupidddd too many varying factors/opinions.

either way the R32 with Rb25 would chop them both in all aspects.

I would definitely go for a R32 with a RB25, like me and Char did :P

If I have to choose between the R33/2door/manual and R34/4door/auto. I would go for the 33.

Ask youself why you are buying a skyline. Is it to have a awesome sports car that is easily modified, reliable-ish, fast, nice looking. Which can be a track weapon. = 33

Or are you looking for a family car to take you and then kids on a road trip and to commute everywhere. = 34

Experts, LOL

I think even a 4 door R34 looks better than the R33, hands down.

Dunno about gear ratio's, some auto's have really short ratio's down bottom, and taller ratio's up top than their manual equivalents. Auto's can also high-stall.

The weight difference is nothing like what some people make it out to be.

Assuming theyre both N/A, if you 'battle' them out, they'll both be slow, and handle like shit with stock suspension.

The wya I see it, it comes down to the R34 being alot better on the eye inside and out, not to mention I havent seen any Asians, fat kids, geeks, or fat Asian geeks driving R34s around, so that might keep you away from a bad crowd too.

The R33 may have a very slight edge over the R34 in weight and gear ratio's, the R34 will have its own advantage being a newer car, better technology.

Thats my 2 cents

And for the record:

Look up the twin engine use in the Macchi M.C.72, its a V24, over 50L in displacement producing 3100+ hp.

Sure, it was made and used in a PLANE, but still, stick THAT between your towers!

Just an thought, why not go to http://www.carsales.com.au/car-research/ you'll probably find the actual differences here,-with a bit of luck :banana: .

thing is that i know the difference im proving a point to him.

dont see how can you compare these 2 cars cuz ones a coupe and ones a 4dr auto. my opinion, it comes to what you want really. problem with the auto R34 is that you cant fit that everyones fav Apexi Power FC due to the shiftlogic transmition, which is connected and controlled by the factory ecu. so pretty much unless you want to keep the car standard or maybe some minor mods and use it as a daily driver, the R34 4dr auto is a practical car. but if you want a coupe with a manual gearbox which everyone will probably have instead unless they only have an automatic licence, the R33 coupe manual is best for tuning but can still remain practical if you do sleeper mods (seeing as how the government and some of the public love to bitch about Fast-and-Furious styled cars these days).

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
