Wassup guys..New here!!

Wassup Guys/Gals!!

This is my first post and am kind of new to the Skyline World. We don't get to see them much here (US), so bare with my ignorance on certain matters. But my GF lives in NSW now and she drove a friend's Skyline and she is hooked. She wants one pretty bad, so I had a few Questions,

1) How much would a R33 GTR V-Spec/ R34 GTR V-SPEC cost in Australia (Brisbane area). Also how hard are they to acquire down there?

2) Performance wise which the better bang for the buck in between R33 GTR and R34 GTR

3) Also if someone can direct me towards a site which has different models specs (like gts, gtst, gtt's, gtr's) I just want to know what's the difference.

4) Last Question for , Is there any place in Brisbane where they sell imports (skylines, supras). Or any place that we should AVOID not getting a car from.

Thanks for all the help in advance.

dude do you want Brisbane or NSW? Brisbane is the Capital of Queensland.

Value for money, you could buy almost 2 R33 GTR's for the price of an R34...

But R32's are the best

Oh, and for info:

Well both Brisbane and NSW. She pretty much lives on the border(30 mins away from brisbane). How much do the R33 and R34 GTR's go for. Approx ballpark figure? So that we know what we are looking at finance wise here. I saw a 1999 R43 GTR for sale on some site in australia somewhere for around $100K (AUD ofcourse).

Just let me know any and all the info please. I want to do some research before we spend that kind of money on a car. Thanks alot for the quick reply.

Well R33's are about half the price of a R34...

For example have a look at our For Sale sections...

[ex-static]

R34GTR - Approx 100k

Twin Turbo Four Wheel Drive 1998 Onwards

R33GTR - Approx 40-50k

Twin Turbo Four Wheel Drive 1993 - 1998 ?

R32GTR - Approx 30k

Twin Turbo Four Wheel Drive 1990 - 1992 ?

R34 GTT - Approx 40k

Single Turbo Rear Wheel Drive 1998 Onwards

R33 GTST Spec2 - Approx 25k

Single Turbo Rear Wheel Drive 1996 - 1998

R32 GTST - Approx 15k

Single Turbo Rear Wheel Drive 1989 - 1993 ?

All Figures are in AUD, im not 100% sure if I'm correct on the years, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

The R32 GTR was right until '94

[Guest GME_OVR]

Thanks alot guys. $100K AUD is not bad for a 1999 R34 GTR. But are there are shops around brisbane area who are familiar with these cars. As in to work on. Or Does local Nissan Dealerships do that for us? Also wanted to know where I can I find some specs & pics off different models.

eg:- I don't really know the difference between R34 GTR and R34 GTT model. As ex-static mentioned in the post above, the price difference is huge but what about performance wise. Single Turbo, rear wheel drive. But do they take on as good to mods as the GTR? Also how about the Comestic-wise. Do they look pretty much the same?. Stock Power output?.

Sorry about all these newbie Questions, Appreciate all the your time and help.

Thanks!

The R34 GTT and GTR looks fairly similar except for some cosmetics.. such as a different kit, but you could fit a GTR Kit to a GTT if you wished.

The GTR is an animal, 4WD 2.6ltr Twin Turbo, and takes VERY Kindly to modifications, its rated at 206kW(?) at the engine.. but we all know that its not hard to get LOTS more power from that.

The GTT is alot more sedate, more of an everyday car, rather than a full fetched weapon, they take reasonably well to mods, and are still pretty quick. a 2.5lt Engine, RWD, and single turbo, but still manages to push out around 180kW at the engine.. which isnt to shabby for a family car Theres a few guys on here that have got that same engine to arouns 280kW at the REAR Wheels.. now thats nice

As with People who can servive and supply parts.. Brisbane is pretty well in the know on imports from what I can tell, so it shouldnt be too hard to find someone there to help you out, maybe try the NSW/QLD section of the forums.

The R34 GTT puts out over 206kw, or more than likely does. It's rated at 206kw so it's almost certainly over this. The GTR is also rated at 206kw and we all know it puts out more than the GTT.

You are probably thinking of the R33 GTS-t, which is rated at 184kw.
