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.

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.

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.

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.

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      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

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.
