Here ya go:

http://www.nitroware.net/~tony/r34gt-t_brochure.doc

2.26Mb English Word document with scanned images. I will keep this up for a limited time - download away.

Interesting for the 34 GT-t owners here.

It starkly highlights just how high spec. 34 models are compared to the 33 GTS-t...

Look at the interior and features - traction control, abs etc. etc. it is higher spec. car than the 33. At a higher price of course.

The interior just looks better designed, appointed, that is all, European almost.

It clearly is pretty much the same car (it is a Skyline after all).

Hmm, I had a reply here, where did it go? Anyway... from my struggling memory it was something like this:

I agree that the R34 has a few more standard features. But they would only account for around 25% of the extra "value" associated with the car. And yet a GTT still costs around double a GTS-t made only a couple of months before it. Just because the price sticker is twice as much doesn't make it twice the car, not by a long shot.

Public perception is the main thing that keeps the R34 prices inflated. Well, that and their relative rarity I suppose. Give it a year or two when the R35 becomes vogue (ok most people seem to hate it now, ask them again in a year's time) and I'd expect the price difference between the R33 and 34 to be much more realistic.

Btw, I love my series 1 velour. Wouldn't trade it for the highest spec cloth interior in the world :mad: So on that level I don't even see the R34's interior as "better". As for the rest - aside from the different gauges and such it still looks fundamentally like a Skyline - far fewer differences than between, say, a VS and a VT Commodore.

I'm only referring to the photos and specs, but so is Tony. I've seen them up close in person, but never been in one.

Are they *really* twice as good in power, braking, handling, comfort, etc as R33's? If so, why doesn't the appearance reflect this?

I just love the cool looking interior - ed's interior is really modern looking. I did not know it was a series one and that's irrelevant, it's just a bit darker looking.

The 34 is a model update like any other - the 33 is much bigger advance over the 32 - the 34 gains the Neo mainly but the appointments are just more modern than the early 90's look 33.

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
