I had this same choice and went the 34gtt - 33 was never an option as I hate the body styling.

In regards to the 34 (briefly):

Pro's

- Newer car, less age-related issues

- Less driving wheels is less stuff to break

- More unique vehicle

- Nicer interior

Con's

- GTR is my dream car (34GTR anyway, 32GTR is my dream weekend track baby)

- Performance, sheer thrill of driving a race-bred vehicle as a daily

- Parts are easier to get than the newer 34gtt

Anyways, at least you're in a good enough position to be making the choice! :)

My dream is to own a 34GTR by 2008, the GTT will be my baby til then

yeh the plan was to by mid next yr have the extra few k i need to make the choice. At this stage its looking good so was just starting to think about it but im worried about the daily driver being a gtr mainly caus of petrol so id have to go out and buy a shitty civic or something from 1985 lol

r32 gtr with a rebuilt engine, i wouldnt touch an original engined r32 gtr with a 10ft stick unless u like forking out for rebuilds :O or buy a cheaper one with a high km engine but good body/interior and rebuild it yourself. dont think paying 28k or whatever for an original one will be fine, the engines are way past there used by date in 99% of cases, especially if u wanna pull good numbers with it. the rest of the car is usually reliable (maybe transfer case needs new clutches is about all). the interior is abit 80s though, but id rather a 80s interior and good driveline/engine, than fancy new interior and rb25 :sick: and if u wanna do a skid just wire up a switch to activate 2wd :O best of both words. 2wd with over 350rwhp is a waste of time in my opinion (on the street anyway)

I had this problem also but I went for a GTT 4Dr as my wife would bash me for getting a 2DR.... LOL ... and also another thing alot of GTR's that I looked at where very dodgy in the way they have been maintained , after all they are about 15 years old or more.....

LOL after see-ing so many people starting to get their hands on R34s, i'm planning to sell mine soon and getting an EVO 8 ( which i don't think many would buy ) I do love my 34, soon, they will become just like the 33s. R34s are going to become a common sight :D

This is very true, R34's are still rare enough around here to turn heads (I even caught a girl taking a photo of mine yesterday when I was down at the shops). But at least for the moment you can enjoy driving something that gets noticed until they become as common as a falcadore.

LOL well said gozirra, due to the drop in prices for the R34s, it is becoming more affordable for everyone to purchase this wonderful car.

Parts wise in my opinion, they are pretty expensive still. Love my 34 but soon, it's time to move on for AWD goodness :)

One year ago the choice was R34Gtt or R33GTR they were the same price.Both around $35000.

Alot has changed.

If you want depreciation go GTT, if you want performance go GTR.

I bought the GTR33.......after driving a GTT34 so their is my answer. :D

go the GTT mate

r32 r's are a dime a dozen and really not worth the heartache od owning such an old car, unless you're going to big it up majorly with rebuild/upgrade turbos etc

"such an old car"?

89-94 is too old to consider? 17-12yo isn't all that ancient! Alot of GTR's have relatively low km's. There are some very good ones around, and they are a performance bargain! I don't know where you are but GTR's aren't a "dime a dozen" around here.

personally, if it was a daily driver, I'd probably take the 34GTT, mainly because I'd be less paranoid about it getting stolen, but as a toy car the GTR wins hands down.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
