where are the facts that the R34 GTR had 150% stiffer chassis?!?!?!? BS

I'd go the R33 GTR over the R34GT T any day! (besides, Tassie is wet mate - you need the 4WD!!!)

It's true i can dig up the article for you. I believe it was in a wheels or motor mag where they took 3 cars on a drive up and down the great ocean road. And it has a small boxout about the r32, 33, and 34 gtr's and their evolution over time. I'll have a look for it and hopefully my dad hasn't thrown it out.

Personally, I'd take the GTR. For a start, it's well - a GTR. This question is no different from asking whether a R33 GTSt is better than a 32 GTR. The only difference with this question is your factoring in the 'rare' factor of R34s...which will flood our market in the next three years I reckon. R34s are already becoming less rare, the rarity may be a factor right now but it won't be for long.

R34's a great looking car, but for those who say the R33 is ugly well, I disagree. Some versions of the R33 aren't so great looking, mainly maybe a stock series 1 R33 GTSt but next time you see a 33 GTR in person go up close and have a look. It's a very menacing, agressive, muscular looking car with a lot of presence.

I'm more inclined to believe information from the factory, rather than Motor, or Wheels.... no offence.

An increase of 150% is just crazy, that would equate the R33 GTR to something like a limp noodle! The EVO 7 had a major structural change to the 6.5 (plus additional riviting, better casting, stronger materials) and even this was only a 50% gain in structural rigidity.....

Nnnnnoooooooo.... $20 says you will regret it in 6 months and want a GTR! :wassup:

as someone else in the thread said, most ppl would take an R32 GTR over an R33 GTST... only a matter of time now that the R34GTT becomes like the R33 GTST.

Still, both good cars - I'm just not sold on the look of the GTT. (it's not too late!!!) :D

There are lots of GTT importers, start with an edition of HPI....

I dont think he will regret it! Get the 34gts-t (A well modified gts-t goes harder than a stock GTR)(Actually not much difference with a big turbo setup - The motor has to be rebuild anyways.

I wouldnt swap my R33 GTS-T for any 32GTR lol!

Either way you are on track with a skyline mate! they are all good! (Well most of them lol!) :wassup:

Good luck, Also check the trading post (might find one on there)

Your best bet for buying a 34 gt-t is to buy one from a english speaking jap exporter, most have plenty to choose from in their stock lists. If you have time you can buy one directly from a jap auction through the jap exporter. what ever you do do not use a local aussie broker, I can not stress this enough. If you say importing is to hard and you dont mind paying extra to have it easier then just buy it from a car yard here in australia.

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
