R32 Gtr To R34 Gtr

[GTR-N1]

If using it as a daily, then yes, you can get a standard GT-R and do it up; over and above the mods that come with it. Approx $44K.

If buying a VS II Nur, you can still mod, but get an extra car as your daily.

That's MHO

[TONTON]

wish I had to make this decision haha,

I'd go for a R34 GTR anyday

Again not 100% to my taste, and sold, but a good example I'd think.

Nick, it is by coincidence that your started this thread as I was thinking tha same thing!

I am intending to get a BNR34 VERY soon and was also curious as to the daily drivability.

Welcome. Feel free to encourage discussion here.

Well i for one can definately tell you that the r34 is a much better drive than the 32 for the street, it feels better is quieter, nicer interior and exterior.

The driving experience is better certainly due to being newer and improved, as with the interior and exterior.

Also you can get a reliable 270rwkw with stock turbos

Hey just thought id put in my impressions of owning an r34 gtr. Basically, i had to buy another car as it aint a great daily driver. Being too paranoid, i wont park it anywhere and i must know the route im driving as to avoid bumps/dips etc in fear of scratching the lip + parking is a little difficult cos the turning circle aint the best.

the car burns alot of fuel too, especially if tuned

Personally i cant see over the bonnet as the buckets sit quite low; im not exactly short @ 5'8" lolz

Again, this is only my opinion from owning one for 2 or so years and only travelled 6000kms (currently at 29,xxxkms)

cheers

No you can't.

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

^^ You just 'over love' the car too much Johnny!

IMO Nick...

The R34 GTR is newer then the R32 GTR so it's going to be refined in many ways.

Having driven both, stock for stock, they are both good cars to drive but improvements would have been done with the R34 GTR though out the years, making it a 'smoother' car to drive.

Unless you can find a R32 GTR in mint condition and have kept up the service and maintenance to match a R34 GTR, there is no way you can compare the both.

Refinements which add to a better drive for the R34 GTR is to do with the engine with slight tweaks here and there.

Aero dynamics, front and rear defuses help the R34 GTR travel smoother.

Larger Brembo brakes (compared to the R32 GTR Nissan brakes) will help the car stop quicker.

Newer suspension on the R34 GTR = Smoother ride.

6 Speed Getrag gearbox ha a smoother gear change (I think so but not by much)

All adds up.

The R32 GTR has this 'raw' power feeling, you can feel the car where as the R34 GTR is so smooth it feels a lot more subtle yet the power is still there.

No you can't.

ahhh 34, yes you can.

lmao, bro I love my car dont get me wrong; kinda a love-hate relationship

ok some good points: the gearbox is nice to drive but compared to say a ford fiesta, you can tell its a strong mechanical change.

the car still makes a few squeeks here and there from the dash plastics, also, the car does not have alot of sound deadening so you can hear the road/tyres which i guess is paramount in a sport/track car.

In conclusion, im glad i have my gtr but as a daily driver, i wouldnt recommend one unless you have another car. A gtr is one of the best cars you can own, they make you feel so special when you drive it once a week/month etc

[R31Nismoid]

ahhh 34, yes you can.

Just because the turbos are newer does in no way mean that they are less prone to failure, and in turn then taking your motor with it.

It is simply bot worth the risk to push factory GTR turbo's to such limits.

GTRGeoff has a low KM set of R34 GTR turbos fail - taking his motor with it. Prime example of why one should not take such a chance.

If you can hear a lot of road noise that could also easily be pointed @ tyre choice.

[gtr13]

No you can't.

I have 345hp or 258kw @ all 4 wheels at 1 bar boost ,at the rears should be around the 270rwkw mark has been like this for the last 5 years, would have thought that was pretty reliable for a modified 34GTR with stock turbos this is after 25000klms of driving and several trips to the drag strip and i dont think iam the only one johnny the poster above me looks to have a very similar setup running 1 bar and producing 255awkw on another v-spec II 34 GTR

Let's try and keep off the topic of ceramic turbos

http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...id=1290E328F4D0

Expensive!

http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...id=1290E328F4D0

Still expensive but looks like a nice one.

awkw & rwkw = near enough to the same mate.

ATTESSA is not fulltime 50/50 4WD split like EVOs/WRXs

It's been proven time and time again, read the threads/do a search.

1 bar would be the limit, anymore than that is dancing with the devil...

Sorry Nick, had to clear that one up

Are you dead set on a V-II ?

[LotusGTR]

Ash, suggest away if you've got a good idea.

258kw awkw to 270rwkw is near enough to the same to mate and if you read my post i said my power is made at 1 bar, dont need to go back and search any posts and read someones experience when i have the car in question and have done it myself

[R31Nismoid]

I can give you a dyno chart reading 550.1 rwkw for a factory car if you want?

Ash, suggest away if you've got a good idea.

Well given the NUR still has the inherrant issues of oil control etc, and the V-II's are expensive as (and not much different over a normal "GTR")

You could look to perhaps just a R34 GTR, you'd be looking around the 45-50k marker for a pretty clean example.

Perhaps look at getting one imported as a side thought?

[LotusGTR]

Why import? There seem to be plenty around that could fit the bill? Importing would be a hassle, and time consuming no? Is it chePer to import? Better chance of getting 'the' car you want?
