Ok guys I have been searching here and google to see what are the differences in ghee chassis between these cars and couldn't come up with much at all

Motor gearbox and the larger brakes aside what are the differences as a base to build from for a track car or are they the same ?

Steering response, lock, tracking, bracing potential flex in chassis etc are the things I am interested in knowing or feedback from someone that has driven or developed either car.

Will be mainly drift setup with time attack circuit and hill climbs thrown in the mix

Thanks :)

R34 is shorter

So is Ryans genitalia! :laugh: Just shuddup and buy the 34 already like i told you 2 years ago!!! :no:

You will cage it, bracing fixed!

You will modify knuckles, Steering fixed!

You will buy it and then sell it 3mths later, So your problems are fixed :P

That is my 2c

There is this new program called Google noodle nut -

Weight -

1,410 kg (3,108.5 lb) (GT-T)

1,390 kg (3,064.4 lb) (GTS-25t)

Length -

4,705 mm (185.2 in) (sedan) - 34

4,720 mm (185.8 in) (sedan) - 33

What else?

Total length doesn't matter so much as wheelbase does.

Face it.....the R34 is newer. You'd have to expect Nissan to have made the chassis at least a little stiffer. Crashability rules were steadily increasing all the time - at the very least the front end steelwork would have to be a bit stronger, notwithstanding the suspension equipment being almost exactly the same.

But as has been said above......once you put in a cage etc, the tiny differences between chassis get diluted to nothing. Choose the newer car with the better engine.

Wheelbase 2,720 mm (107.1 in) - 33

Wheelbase 2,665 mm (104.9 in) - 34

And he has a built 26 for it so the engine etc doesnt matter!

As Matt said engine and brakes are not of importance just looking at the chassis as a development point of view, I have noticed the towers on a r34 are different to 33

Interesting the wheel base is shorter was that for sedans Matt ? Or in reference to the coupes ?

    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
