Im glad I bit the bullet and went with a 32GTR....34 GTT did come into my mind for a split second but I knew I would regret it hard....they look boring in stock form i reckon.

I wouldn't waste my time with carsales again for a JDM 32 GTR, I searched for over a year on carsales etc and only 1 clean one came up with in that time that I wanted but sold in 1 week.

I then had an import dealer find me the cleanest one possible which still took months but was worth it.

If you dont go the GTR route you'll just regret it and keep wishing you had gone for the GTR. :nyaanyaa:

As I can't be bothered reading through all this crap...is the car still available?

I have 2 STi's, but a Skyline might be nice too to drive to the milkbar and back

Above was from Mike, on a GTR sale thread.

Not exactly sure how much of a brother you really are Mike. :)

I personally would go the r34 (as well that is what i have done in reality) but the main things that put me towards the r34 is i don't want an ancient old car (even though mine is still 9 years old) plus i can't stand the old interiors. R32 interiors were as bad as the s13's and man that was crap

There was one point in time where I had to choose between an R34 GT-T and an R32GTR.

Drove the R34 around for a bit but it just doesn't compare to the R32. Sure the R34 is newer, but if you buy a clean and well maintained R32, you'll have years of driving fun !

i bought an r34gtt primarily because i cant stand the ancient r32gtr interior, and was also concerned about their age. driving the 34 and a mates 32gtr is a completely different experience, however i cant wait to get back into the 34 after being in his car, and there isnt really that much real-world differenece in performance between the two, besides the 32 having more modding potential, but if like you say, you plan to have it as a daily, the 34 is better in almost every way.

if i was you, id use your stock sti as a daily, the 34 gtt feels archaic in comparison to my 05 wrx, uses more fuel, and is probably slower though i cant confirm this as i havent had the chance to track it yet. but you do get a special feeling in the skyline.

also, after driving awd, be carefull in a gtt, they loose traction at a whiff of throttle in the wet, and are way to easy to slip in the dry too.

have fun.

If your not going to buy R34 GTT instead of a GTR R32 simply dont bother buying a skyline at all

The reason I got rid of my R32gtr was that it looks like an 80s car, times have changed and whilst it was an awesome car to own I felt I need to move on to something more modern as the daily drive.

Got a 350gt for daily drive and an R33 for project/track use which I feel is a good comprimise, I test drove a couple of R34s and they are a lovely car...

I guess utimetely if you are buying as a daily drive you'll want something with is comfortable, a better return on the mpg..etc

LOL!!! That's some funny shit right there! Define "real-world" for us???

Go the 32R dude, the interior is fine and the seats are way more supportive (although they are a bitch on a long 4hr+ drive), LOTS more parts available for an R than a 34 GTT too

The BEST buy in the Skyline market at the moment are R33 GTRs, Check http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...ec-t309417.html for the difference between a $22,000 R32 and a $25,000 R33... The add a Power FC, Cams, Cam gears, intercooler, Bilsteins and a 3 years newer car the R33 side of things.. They are a steal, I know you did not need another GTR post, but I have the 32 in those pics, and the ONLY reasons I went a 32 was because I wanted an R32 V-specII specifically, and because I have daily drive. Day to day, R33 GTR or a later GTT hands down

      Drivers R32 GTR seat

      By mtopxsecret6 · Posted

      Hi everyone, just looking to see what's available in the GTR seat options, testing the waters on what's available. Wanting a driver's seat to replace my old school OG jap race seat, going to re-register the car so need a factory seat. Prices currently seem to go from $300 to $2k for a driver's seat. What's options are there, that's good condition and actually a realistic price? Located Brisbane. Thanks

      Are these a plug and play setup, and do they need a tune, like a haltech ecu etc? Thanks

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      Been over 2 months since I have done anything on the S15 and had a day off today so got stuck into mounting the radiator and intercooler. I ended up using factory bottom mounts as bolted in and I did order some gktech top brackets but didn't work with the PWR radiator so made up some with aluminium flat bar. Spent way to long on them but pretty happy how they are. Next job was the intercooler. Used some more aluminium flat bar and did the bottom mounts first. Top was easy as just one long piece and 2 90 degree coming off rad support and welded them on. The bumper support required some notching to let the outlets sit where I want so will add some reinforcement later to strengthen it. I have also bought ecu and waiting for it to arrive. Went with a Link g4x Xtreme but will be adding a ptmotorsport expander to add a few extra inputs over CAN. Went through a few different configurations on pclink to get what I want to allow future expansion for sensors and gearbox upgrades. Ordered gktech rear arms but looking at the hardrace lower control arms to have some extra adjustment too will see how the alignment looks after first setup. Got 2 more weeks of work before shut down and will have almost 4 weeks to work on this so planning on hopefully firing up mid January.   Also bought a 2015 brz with a heap of good gear, did noosa hill climb a month back. Owned it for 3 days changed alignment and sent it. Finished the weekend 2nd in class and only .3 off the 180sx best time last year. MCA Red coilovers, gktech rear lca, bolt on lock kit and tie rods, whiteline toe arms, cusco 1.5way diff and 4.5 ratio, endless brake pads, headers, exhaust, perrin intake and e85 tune. Electronic steering adjustment, nankang crs with koya wheels 17x9 +35. Have bought rear traction arm and relocation kit, extended studs and v3 tie rod kit. Planning on also getting flex tune as lucky to get 300km a tank with e85 and short ratio. Car is a heap of fun to drive and super easy to work on. AC in the line up at Noosa was mint in 35degree weather.
