Agreed with above comments on 34 interior.

R33s dont have a stronger motor, more powerful yes. I dont think there's much in the interior's, the 33 is too spacey for my liking but yes its a good point its a newer car thus will always have less problems unless the r32 has been built (not just the motor).

Yes the R33 does have a stronger motor over say an early R32. For a start the need to fix the crank collar issue is gone in the R33 and secondly it's a newer motor.

In my opinion the R33 GTR is a superior car in terms of everything than the R32 and R34 GT-t except maybe personal preference for looks. I personally think a clean series 3 R33 GTR is a far better car in every respect to an R32 or R34 GT-t but that is personal taste.

Someone went off-topic on the GTR onto the GTST's.

So i was refering to the rb20 vs rb25 in which i dont believe an rb25 is any stronger from owning both an rb20, rb25 and neo rb25.

In regards to the GTR i can't say i know from expierance but ive seen alot less r33 rb26's pop than the r32 rb26s thats for sure.. lol

Won't get dragged off-topic from now on sorry :(

Like? I mean 5-10-15k more and u get a newer engine.. paint will be new on any r32 i buy and most of the ground components will still be holding up fine, right. Also R32 GTR 92 and a R33GTR 93 will probably show the same signs of wear across the grid right?

Considering they didn't begin producing the R33 GTR until 1995 i'd say an 1993 R33 GTR would have quite a few things wrong with it......... maybe a little creative badge engineering from a GTS-t owner..

Sorry missed where it went off in that tangent! :sorcerer:

buddy go for an r32 gtr, just sitting in the drivers seat makes it fill like a race car, they have that real sporty fill to them, but they are getting old,

and im guna buy another one in a couple months time, but i wanna spend close to 30k on a nice clean one.

search and you will find prestine condition one

dunno if I commented before however..

32GTR same power output as a 34 GTT .. Obvious gain is 4wd..

Downside is u need a deep pocket.. it always breaks down 32 that is and will need constant attention..

So really its for a real entusiast and id really only buy one to race or to mod of its tits .. like my mates.. but even as is .. he blows engines all the time .. except his running Rb30 bottom so spose it wont apply..

33's are ugly .. my view of them anyways and there enough on the rd to give commonwhores a run for there money..

34s hot .. abit short in the ass .. great handling in stock form.. alot are un modded and produce nice figures .. sure fork out an extra 40g and get yourself a GTR 34 .. Now ive got the gtt Im actually concidering it .. Although petrol would suk!

it's a tough choice but with your $30K budget for a 32 GTR you will be able to pick from the cream of the crop. and in my eyes the $30K 32 GTR is the winner here over the $35K 33 GTR and the GTT.

I currently have both parked in the garage and yes they are different cars, in different states of tune, and the 33 does have some positives, but I love the look and feel of the 32.

so which do you prefer?

i was in the same pickle as you my friend but i choosed the path of the r34 gtt, kinda regret ever getting a skyline cuz they are seriously everywhere (not so bad the 34s but i see em everywhere now adays) 32 GTR was the obvious for speed and power but the things are just to old, and the 33.....well lets just say ive seen so many R33 GTSTs that i got so sick of the 33 i didnt even bother, so thats how i decided on the 34....lol

holy shit....u bought a 33GTR???? that is one pretty 33

Oh, i assumed that gtr's came out same year as the gts-t's so there are 94 32 GTR's?

That 32 above is nicee, looking at the 32 it's a better looking car that i see alot less often to..

Now i've decided 33 isn't the route to go for me (as looks just dont do anything for me)

So now it's just a toss up between a 34 GTT (with idk, a new engine or something, rb25/30 perhaps) or a 32 GTR

Then do a search, coz there's a thread on that exact comparison!

32R vs 34 gt-t, think the 34 had more votes but it was very close, you decide if you want down right performance with the R32 or abit more luxury and comfort with decent performance on the side bein the R34!

true, i forgot about that thread, i'll have a look. I'm trying to factor in a engine transplant for the 34 into the equation and end up with a reasonable price and compare cost to the 32 as well, very difficult for me because i'm semi-retarded

lol...

there are so much technical infomation in this thread...

If your not happy with 300-400ish rwhp don't bother with a gt-t. Engine transplant is too much hassel unless your chasin 400+rwhp.

If you want more than that go a GTR simply for the grip point of view with fat tyres all round and awd you'll actually get some traction!

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
