That blue R34 GTR cruising the North Shore Streets

[DLuded]

they only say that because the r32 GTR is the fastest and the r34 is the most expensive. however if i had a spare $100,000 i would get a r32 GTR and save the rest. it all comes down to personal preference

[franks]

if i could save 100k i think id have the capacity to own an R34 GTR

that the R34 GTR is seen as the worst GTR by Japanese enthusiasts

Firstly I know we both already question his opinion having spent $50K+ on a Supra hehe

dude but I think this is still relative to the fact its a GTR. And this is the first time I've ever heard of this. Worst by who's opinion? and worst judged on what? if you know what I mean....

I have seen this car in real life at the UAS track day 1 year ago and thoes wheels look HORN !!

ASIF the R34 isn't the best its got that screen thingy and looks the most angry

FRANKS SAYS...

does anyone have any comments on this?

as far as im concerned, it is the best...

yer i agree franks. r34 gtr is by far the best. ive read heaps of articles saying the japanese think the same aswell. what really could be better? the supras nice... but not r34 nice

BOXSTER????? Why buy half a Porsche?

I know you said you'd buy the GTR but just the word Boxter makes me angry. There is nothing I hate more than the Porsche Boxster. "The claytons Porsche"

Gee, I've got some great videos here you guys would absolutely love!

They are from the Japanese Best Motoring series, and there is one which pits both Jap cars and Euros against each other for 6 hot laps around the Tsukuba race track japan.

Line up includes Ferrari F355, Porsche 911 Turbo, Nissan GTR, Honda NSX Type R, RX7, Supra can't remember the others. GTO I think. Great to see the cars driven flat out side by side.

Results: F355 by a nose, GTR, Porsche Turbo few car lengths behind, then a long gap to the rest of the Japanese cars. Great to see the Sky up there with some of the best in the world.

Take a bow.

i'd be thinking long and hard about the new Z4, supposedly a Boxster beater, awesome looking car too. For indicators, they use the BMW symbol, slightly raised above the side panel surface, and it's ringed by the orange indicator, how cool is that!!!!

but yeah, if they are going for 90K, be hard not to put in 10 more for a R34 GTR.....

as for preferences of different GTR models..um....i'm still deciding whether i like the R33 shape more thant he R34 (only discovered there was actually an R34 about 4 - 5months ago....i know...NEWBIE! )

yeah, still haven't made my mind up on which one i like better....

:confused:

The Z4 is a very sexy car & i would take one over a crappy boxster anyday.......

I think the 3.0L will give gts-t's a run for their money.......Then they'll bring out an 'M' model.

[SS8_Gohan]

yeah, offered in 2.5 and 3.0 engines.....straight sixes of course :D . we got a 530i '00, and that thing really goes, but it's like 1650kg kerb weight, throw that 170kw engine into a little Z4......:drooling: :jump:

supposedly 0 - 100km under 6, like 5.8secs....oh yeah....bring on the MZ4? M4? M Roadster again?? I think would more than give the gts-t's a run for their money.

[400HP]

I don't really like the Z4 much at all

And I hear they will cost close to $100K as well. Don't be fooled by the figures .... my friend has a Z3 3ltr and its pretty damn slow despite the power figures...

M engines are a totally different story. I have driven an E36 M3 and they're pretty damn quick and responsive... totally different to the Z3 3.0 engine. I've sat in an E46 while it was flying and that thing goes....

[SS8_Gohan]

did they put the 170kw, 3 litres in the old Z3? mmm...didn't know that...suprised that it's slow, cos the 5 series with that engine is quick, i'd imagine that that Z3 would be really quick with it.....maybe it's a different engine and the 170kw doesn't fit in the Z3..

well i was reading the Drive part of the Age on sat, and it said that the Z4 will be driven and reviewed on Thursdays Drive, so we'll see then how everything turns out...

is the GTR (which this whole thread is about...sort of ) had a respray, or is that the factory R34 GTR blue??? cos i'm looking at getting a blue GT-T, just wondering if it would look like that in that lighting.....

No thats a standard colour but you can only get it for GTR's not GT-T

[SS8_Gohan]

i was looking thru the upcoming auctions at J-Spec and i've seen a few GT-T's which were blue...and at www.gtrcentral.com (canman's site from SDU) he's scanned in the pamphelts for the GT-T and in the colour bit there was a blue to choose from...

:confused:

[SS8_Gohan]

here's the pic from www.gtrcentral.com the file name is pretty much self explanitory - but isn't the GT-T also have factory yellow available?? or are these the GTR colours, and it's just been named wrong?? :confused:

[SS8_Gohan]

found this pic as well...

[Guest Nismo_Freak]

R33 > R34

[SS8_Gohan]

yep ur right, the R33 is bigger than the R34, 7.5cm longer, and about 4 cm's wider i think

[ultim8DTM5]

Z4 3.0 will be wrong side of $100k definately.
