Hi everyone,

I'm searching an information about the Nissan Skyline R34 GTT & R33 GTR.

I would like to know the weight distribution of the car.

I heard that: FRONT:52%

REAR: 48%

Someone could confirm that please ?

Sorry for my bad english, I come from Belgium.

Thank you in advance

Kevin

Hi Kevin, I've never seen the figures for 33, but I can tell you my r32 gtr production race car is front 58% rear 42%. This is with 100kg driver.

the 34 gtt will be a little better without the 4wd, but I am sure it is only 1-2% better.

Skylines are a well engineered but therefore heavy car, with big gearbox and heavy cast iron block.

Just incase somebody is interested:

R32 right through to R34 (and no doubt those that came before as well) are pretty nose-heavy, with a big cast-iron boat anchor of an engine sitting in the front. That's why the V35 has an alloy block sitting further back (easier to do, since it's a V6 not inline); it has a 52-48 F to R weight distribution.

(Dunno which he is talking about; the R32 or the V35...)

    • As an ex-skyline owner Going off how these things are now "modern classics", I would keep the twins and just "refresh" bits that are required for reliable power and have a car you can take out for a cruise whenever you get the itch As a idiot who cannot leave things alone Going deep into the "rabbit hole" is a easy thing to do, as previously mentioned, once you start it becomes a slippery slope, wirh lots of supporting mods, and possibly rebuilds, and unless you have a bottomless pit of funds, the car can spend most of its life sitting in the garage,  broken, waiting for parts, or building more funds For a classic like a R32 GTR Basically, a reliable OEM+ refresh, that isn't a broken garage queen, is alot better than a car that you build, then break, then fix, then break again And it isn't just the engine you need to worry about, these beasties are getting on in age, and all parts are getting, and have got, expensive, the days of picking up cheap replacement engines and other driveline parts are well and truly over The funds not spent on going a single with quality parts, and with all the other other bits required to make it happen, could be spent on refreshing alot of other parts A wise man once said "If you cannot afford 2 GTR's, you cannot afford 1", I also believe he said this about 20 years ago when you could pick up a clean R32 GTR up for around $20k My advice for a R32 GTR (the one and only true Godzilla in my mind) is to think holistically about the whole car, the body, the power train, the suspension, the brakes, and the driveline SAU is a wealth of knowledge with decades of Skyline experience,  from stock, to OEM+, to modified to varying degrees, to full on or weekend or dedicated racecars, as well as full on money pits that rarely leave their garage Treat the old girl nice and give her what she deserves, you are a lucky man to own such a classic car  
    • For that price you could buy the hypergear turbo (big fan as I run one) and the Haltech ECU..
    • +1 for the Elite 2500. Get some new knock sensors while you are at it (pretty cheap), look up the TAARKS Nissan knock sensor kit. You may also want to get new coils (R35gtr) while your at it (assuming your on stock ones), as they are a liability. Mine started right up and idled fine on the base map. Also go MAP over MAF, as said above, Haltech make this super simple right out the box. Another fanboy of DBW here, Outsider Garage from your neck of the woods make some nice conversion gear for the R33 (that’s where I got some of my gear from).
