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!

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).
