R34 Pros: Newer (more reliable i guess), looks better (debatable), has VVT (Neo).

R34 Cons: Fewer spare parts around, insurance possible more expensive, more expensive to purchase.

R33 Pros: Same engine sans VVT, in my eyes just as sexy (series 2 is anyway... S1 lacks that aggressive styling), alot more spare parts than R34, tidy simple function interior...

R33 Cons: Older so more prone to reliability issues, alot of them around if you're after that individuality factor....

The bottom line is price. GT-Ts are probably closer to $30,000 while GTS-ts are sub $20,000.

I've got some more points to consider. As if the r33gtst is not heavy enough, the r34 is much heavier. Although the engine puts out more power, the r34 gtt would be less agile in handling due to the weight.

Also, in regards to looks, the look is very personal. Personally, I like slightly squarer cars. That's why I picked the skyline over the supra. But personally (I'm not knocking anyone elses car, i'm just saying for me) I prefer the slightly rounder shap[e of the 33 over the 34.

The R34 is by far more agile than a R33. They have a far more agressive turn in and have the real feel of wanting to be thrown into every corner. The steering is much more responsive than a R33.

My two cents worth.

R34's were designed to be closer in concept to the R32. Smaller, sharper handling and more responsive (overall sportier) than the R33. You dont really notice the small increase in weight.

I went for R33 because its cheaper, can perform just as well as any R34 GT-t with a few mods and more room (esp headroom as I'm 6'4) inside.

Not as good a performer in stock form though.

PS R33 do have VVT, it just kicks in later on in the rev range relative to R34

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For your application, where you'll be at that 1/2" size or perhaps larger, yeah, excellent. Although not if you need a tight bending radius anywhere, because the corrugated stuff is not anywhere near as flexible as rubber/teflon cored stuff. But for turbo oil lines? No. Too big. They just don't do the corro stuff down at the ~1/4" ID size that you'd want, and if they did the OD of it would probably be a bit too fat for fitting it into the tight spaces available. I use hoses like that all the time for fuel gases (LPG, NG) and liquid fuels (HFO, diesels, waste oils). When we did the London Olympic cauldron, with the 204 individual burners on it, we had miles of the stuff (although a lot of that was teflon core). A bunch of that crap is still cluttering up the workshop, more than 12 years later!

      The once piece tail shafts with cv type joints on either end are the ones that end up vibrating and the vibration is caused by the cv joint binding as it turns, I’ve also seen them explode from the binding

      Take this with a pinch of salt, it's from someone (me) who got annoyed with turbos entirely. I hated aftermarket lines. If I had the option to use hardlines with whatever turbo I had - I would use them, 10/10, 100% of the time. The only reason people go larger, heat resistent, shielded lines etc is because they have to. And yes they don't last forever. Even if you spend big bucks on all the best heat shielding money can buy, with the best heat resistant, fuel resistant, oil resistant, radiation resistant hose, they get stiff and break down and just don't last the way a metal pipe will.

      Unfortunately I am quite literally halfway across the globe. So all sources for parts like that are far away for me. What do you mean by that exactly?
