hey just wondering what u guys think would be better for me... i know its hard to say coz its depends on what i want...

i just sold my 93 r33 gtst which was lightly modified just had a full zorst, pod fmic and boost and got a 13.6.

in my next skyline im lookin for something faster mid 12's or even a 11 later on.

i know it would be easy in a 33 gtr but how do 34 gtt's go compared too 33 gtst...

what would it take in mods to get a 34 gtt in mid 12's down the 1/4 mile.

i know with a gtr all ull need is zorst,pods boost and a good clutch

any help would be great... coz i just wnat the power but dont wanan be stuck with the 33 shape again

GTT is the same as your Gtst ( with a little better engine)... so how hard do you think it would of been to get your gtst into the 12/11s?

12's i'm sure you could do, 11's is a big step ... much easier to get to in a GTR... Its up to you

its such a hard decision for me to make... coz i know if i get a 33 gtr it would be easy 12's, ferni - what mods have u got and what times have u got?

but i just wanna know what do u thikn ud need to get a 34 gtt into the mid 12's?

for power gtr will always be better but im into more as 12 sec street car not a 10-11sec drag car...i greatly appreiciate all the help choosing...

also whats the price diff.. lets say 96 s2vspec gtr vs 99 manual turbo gtt??

A little better engine is a bit of an understatement! Much better engine, plus better turbo, better steering, better suspension, better interior, ....

BUT, if you really do want fast times, I suspect to the probelm will be the rear wheel drive - my 255/45 tires will just spin if I'm not to carefull. So while the 4 wheel drive system gives you extra weight, it also gives you extra traction!

']well if you want a gtr minus the r33 shape and you cant afford the r34 gtr, get a cheapish r32 gtr and then do that up. you will have left over change to DMS it up! haha

You think like me. LoL

I just don't like the 33 shape, that's why I got the latest model R32 GTR possible, well it wasnt 'cheapish.'

I would probably go the 33GTR at the end of the day. Remember a GTT is newer but in the end its just an update of a car you already had. You would get used to drving it becasue it would have similar characteristics as the previous model 33 it would become predictable in drviving. And yes I have driven a 98 GTT it was different in looks wise but everything feeled similar just more refined. If you bought a GTR it would be like having a totally new car even though its a 33 because you would have to learn its limits as it would be a totally different drving experience.

Yeah i made the same choice when i bough my GTR, i went for the 33GTR instead of GTT and i don't regret it. personal choice tho.

I have exaust, cam gears and run about 1bar boost, i run about 270rwkw and the one time i did go to the drag strip i ran 12.4... traction was bad on the day, i recon i could knock another couple of 1/10ths off with a better day... but my car is daily driven, and i take it to the track (circuit) a few times a year..

To get a 34GTT into the mid 12's? not sure ask someone whos done it, i don't know of any GTT's in the mid 12s :D for a 33GTR you're probbaly looking 30-50k, GTT not sure guessing around 30-35k?

Spending 40k on a car is a lot of money - you should go check out both GTT and GTR in the flesh and drive both if you can before spending your hard earned $.

yeh its a hard decsion, im purchaseing after winter so ill be test driving a few gtt's and gtr's, thanx for all the replies guys, ive thought about r32 gtr but i just cant see myself degrading to an older car im into more newer cars.

if i had to get a gtr it had to be s2 vspec or nothing..

would there be much differnce in insurence? how bout maintence is gtr alot more to maintain?

thanx again

    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
