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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
