there is a big difference to the gtx and the gt-v

brakes ,suspension,17 inch alloys ...the gt-v is the pick of the non turbo ,gt-x is the old mans version .and the one on carsales is a 2000 model with 40,000 less klm`s as well

"identical".... not by a mile my friend

The GT-X is always a questionable choice when it comes to your non-turbo R34 Skyline. You have to wonder why Nissan decided to make a 4x4 non-turo car and where the car was marketed.

The answer is they made it for the cold snowy climate areas of northern japan. In Hokkaido every single car on the road is 4x4 for the winter - even the corolla, march and sunnys. Snowy climates are horrible for cars and they will begin to rust away from salted roads in no time.

You will of course see exceptions to this and Nissan sometimes sell 4x4 Skylines outside of snowy climates. In my travels in Japan i've never seen a GT-X outside of a snowy area.

I reckon you should get a 3.5 V6 Magna sports. You can find good ones for about 20 grand. They have either 5 speed man or 5 speed tiptronic auto.

I have driven the tiptronic auto and it goes like the clappers. :) My mate had a 3.5 executive with 4 speed tiptronic and that was no slouch either, Im sure it would beat any commodore V6.

As matter of fact they are so quick, some guy on another thread reckons it would beat a R33 GTST auto. Doubt that its true but it illustrates my point.

Only downside is FWD, though many people don't consider this a downside.

They are also comfy and have japanese build quality and reliability (even though they are made in Adelaide).

Besides, if you live in NSW you won't find a car that is much quicker that you are allowed to drive on your P's. Once you get off your P's you can then trade it in for nice turbo skyline.

      George's R33 GTST build

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
