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 :(

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

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

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.

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

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.

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 :P

Expensive!

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 ?

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

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?

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?

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      By weikleenget · Posted

      I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
