I had a R32 GTR as a daily driver. In fact it was a work car.

I say that after driving a good example of both you will never entertain the notion that the R34 GTT is anything but a very slow puss bucket in comparison. The rest is all down to taste in looks, both interior and exterior.

amen REV210

hmm took the GTT out today to source the miss it has.. yes it has a miss why dont my GTR miss? and it was ok with traction control off. but the 265 make it difficult.. anyway i still dont like the seating position. and it seems slower and slower each time i drive it. i opened the GTR to 5000rpm once today and that made me smile ear to ear.. and kept me on a high until i witnessed federer win a championship in straight sets..

THE GTT is no comfortable.. bad seating arangement and it feels like driving a truck. not to mention the turn in is apauling.

never fear if ur looking for a good clean GTR that has genuine KMS and has mechanically A1 engine.. PM me.. its in my signature.. ahaha. just got to look around and find that deal.

i dont give a fcuk what anyone says, this is just a vote on who likes gtr's and who likes gt(s)t's.

if you want to know which car to buy or what to do, drive both and see which one makes your pants tight.

u serious about the brakes..

hmm Group A racing machine Vs comfortable old mans car.

believe me when u own both and drive them. ull realise what a shit box the R34 is compared to something real.

in regards to comfort. i like the seating position in the R32 GTR. its far better. its lower and seated better. feel like ur in a car rather than on top of the R34. :( the steering wheel on the R34 is better. but nothing flash. the dash and surounds are PLASTIC. and the door handles are cheap and nasty.. 47000kms and they are peeling. GTR 100,000kms perfect!.. the interior is also more flimsy.. the passenger window switch is uin a akward place. as well the center console is higher than in the GTR.

the seats in the GTR are far better quality!..

and please dont get me started on the rears.. a plus for the GTT is the 5 seat belts..

THE RB25 is inferior in power despite claimed 206kw

the rear diff is a viscous compared to the 2 way mech in the BNR32

the gearbox is good. the auto is shit. the tip is a step up. but is laggy and quite dull.

and they mounted the battery in the engine bay again..? why? the R33 was in the back?

the boot is deeper but smaller in the R34. and gas strut boot is wasted weight.

the aluminum guars and bonnet on the GTR is far lighter. as well as the standard GTR suspension is far stiffer.

GTR sway bars are thicker. blah blah blah.

i still fail to see anything that stands out in general appeal.

206kw please.

also a XENON headlamp dip on the R34.. who they hell uses that.. wasted weight..

GTT dnt look as good bore like a boxy KE70

the BNR32 is a fat machine and the best looking skyline ever.

enough said.

have fun in whatever u do.

whats funny is my 1991 GTR is 8years older and shits on it still.

GTR POWAH

Your wrong the brakes are the same my friend has a 90's model GTR and I have a 97 Gtst and the only difference is the cross drilled discs everything else is the same.

Its the same as the 350z they put the 34 GTR brembos in and it doesnt have the same power output.

Also if you love your 32 GTR so much why have that for sale and buy a 34GTT?

Cheers

Hi there (first time posting)

I own a R34 GT-T with about 500 ponies ... and a mate owns a kick ass R32 GTR (one of the best going round) ... For me as much as I love the 32 and all that it is ... It is a pretty old car these days and unless you have a ton of money to repair things will dramatiically drop off as a car over the next few years ... where as the 34 even though not a R ... Is the superior choice ... Killer looks a ton of modern conviences not that common on the street and great fun to drive (showing my age) due to the rear wheel drive of it ... Having said that ... a R34 GTR would be sweeeeet ... :(

have u opened the brake master cylinder. the spring is stiffer on the GTR... go figure group A. and according to the DBA catalog the rotor diameter im sure is larger too. so the calipers look different.. haha woah must be nissan rice engineers.

im selling the GTR for some cash.. :( and my brother owns the GTT. but i drive both. and i can honestly say they are worlds apart.

so ur point is?

One is as you said a "group A" car and one is GT tourer so yeah they are worlds apart but my point is at the end of the day the are 15+ years older and most of the ones that havent been rebuilt as of yet arnt going to be far off it and your kidding yourself if you think it was babied in Japan cause the all cop a hiding.

They cant be too bad a car if your considering "downgrading" to a gtst or silvia can they?

I would consider it a downgrade unless as Col said it was a 33 series 2 or 3.

Chris

Your just cranky cuz you dont have either!

By the way, I think you'll find that an r34 is heavier than a r32. Hence the same braking power in both will result int he r32 pulling up quicker.

But a high grade R32 GTR and an R34 GTT are in the same price bracket, 33GTR's are around $7K more expensive as an average and a Series 2 or 3 is even more again. Some '95 R33 GTR's may fall in with the 32GTR's and 34GTT's

I love my 32GTR no matter how long the list of things I need to repair/fix :)

Dont get me wrong they a lovely cars and yes I have driven one and know the pleasures of a "Cult" car im just saying a younger model car is going to have less problems then an older model. At the end of the day it depends on what he wants and the pro and cons of both. Really the only way for him to decide is to drive both.

I love GTR's as much as any Nissan enthusiast does.

Chris

one of my cars is a 32 GTR. I will NEVER sell it. simple. I can't imagine ever feeling that way about an R34... other cars will come and go, but my current 32 GTR will be with me for a long time.

Yes

but my current 32 GTR will be with me for a long time.

Yes

You guys are all f**ked in the head.... seriously! :rant:

Yes

2nd that. mine is staying till i die.. i love 33 and 34gtrs but to me the 32gtr is the true godzilla. i dont care about repair bill or rebiuld in the future i love my car...

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
