quickest car i ever been in was a gtir. modded ofcourse.

similar to LTHLRB - a mate also owns one, did drive it hard and blew the box. been sitting in his garage for about 6 months now, not cheap to repair....

its one of those cars.....always loved em, but would never buy one.

they are not that weak. I ran mine with 180 odd 4wkw for a fair few years and I don't think anyone could suggest i didn't drive it hard. plenty of 7000rpm launches in it! BUT no flat changes, and a bit of mechanical sympathy is important. also short shifter is not a good idea, and the type of clutch you buy has an impact too. but i wouldn't say their boxes are fragile, it's just you need to be a little smart to keep them happy. apart from that they are good. they only weigh around 1200kg, can easily put out 2004wkw with standard turbo and injectors and at that power will dust off most mildly modded skylines. they do NEED a brake upgrade though as they come with shit brakes. top little car though, and a steal at current prices.

I owned one briefly.... but mine was a lemon..... previous owner dodged the maintenance records amongst other things.....

My mate had one also .... awesome car.. but it did have $40K spent on it at Rigolis!

In stock form I'd go the gtir over anything else in the same price bracket just because SR20 powah (and build quality) and the lack of money that needs spending to get it go faster..... although can be a b!tch to work on at times according to my dad (mechanic).....

GTIR drivetrain is a heap stronger than any wrx of the same year model.... our 97 wagon (clubspec) has done two gearboxes and the next time its straight cut gears! Also to me the wrx feels like its made of plastic.... but thats just personal opinion...

Fast little car,

If you ever buy one or import one, make sure it comes with exhaust already as its can be a bitch to fabricate a proper system. As for the clutch, if you need to change, get something that worth it as you would need to lift the engine up a bit and just chuck REDLINE shock proof in it and the box will be fine, offcourse don't abuse it too much.

What can i say about SR20, they are great 4cylinders, respond to mods as good as EVO if not better, engine and parts availability is much more as well. Oh also don't forget the quad throttles respond (was it quad throttles?).

Better interior than R32gtr :P, semi bucket seats, CUP HOLDERS ;).........

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
