Hi everyone, :action-smiley-069:I just joined the forum. (I hope i posted this in the right area.)

So, my dad and I are looking into a buying a R34 Skyline sedan. (Dream car) It will be our family second car, and a semi-project car, to do a few mods on, quality time with dad. (thinking about buying from edward lees), and we were told that we get either a manual AWD or RWD. My question is for a NA car, (so i can drive it l's) which would be better, the AWD or the RWD. (Please give a reason why you think either one is better). Also for the AWD, is it like the GTR Attessa, or is it permeant AWD. And please correct me if im wrong, but the AWD version is the GT-Four and the RWD version is Gt, GT-V.

Any other information about either cars will be appreciated.

Thankyou

Josh

Its going to come down to what you will want out of the car later on down the track.

Non turbo versions are a bit boaty and sluggish.

The above link gives you all the info you need on the differences in model types.

25GT - Non turbo model with non turbo options.

25GT - Non turbo model with turbo options.

25GT-FOUR - AWD variant.

Good luck, I've fallen in love with the R34 but would very much rather a turbo version.

If it were me - I'd go for a GT-FOUR, stick out your L's/P's and when ready, drop in a Stagea NEO 25DET. Quality project, low difficulty, and you'll get to know a lot more about the car piecing it all together.

You could always go 26 if you're more adventurous :devil:

Go the GT-FOUR. They're all non turbo, so it's good for your L's/P's and then gives you room to modify and learn while you're at it.

The AWD system is and works the same as the GT-Rs, although the GT-R may have different diff ratio's (I know this is the case with R32s).

Keep in mind that AWDs are heavier than their RWD variants, and that the GT-FOUR will have the same running costs as a GT-R (extra diff, transfer case, etc) without the GT-R performance, so you're inclined to get onto the performance mods/engine swap as soon as you can :P

4-door R34 GT-FOUR with RB26DETT, wolf in sheep's clothes.

    • Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
