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.

    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
