well I think the GTR is the 'best' car, but for what you want, and with your budget I think the 34GTT offers the best value. They are still fun to drive. easy to get 250-300rwkw without it becoming undrivable and much cheaper to look after. Unless you can afford more than $10K a year just in running costs don't get the GTR. S15 is very nice too but more expensive than the 34 and a bit less practical. a well set up GTT is a nice car.

All very nice cars and Ill doubt youl'd be dissapointed with any of them but in my opinion the R32 GTR is a very clear winner. As you said it will only be a weekend driven car and you want something that stands out. R32 GTR also has so much historical value...first GTR...banned from bathurst...and the list goes on and on.If you want a race bred car and your willing to maintain it...buy a GTR!!

The simple answer is to drive them all and decide for yourself.

But a 15 minute test-drive is not enough to tell you about the car, especially when sellers aren't willing for you test the car's limits in handling and speed.

Guest B34ST GTR
34 gt is a heap of shit

S15 jus pure sex

r32 gtr if you want some power

This comment will only be apreciated in the 'hot fours' magazine show pony.

GTR is unquestionably the pick of the litter....but i never considered running costs and maintainance, when buying, as the impulse part of the brain will never allow you to be rational when choosing......

my missus uses the GTR daily and travels 15km a day to and fro work then maybe a blast to a mates 3-4 times a week, maybe the odd cruise, and i shit you not i can spend from $400-$700 a month on fuel!!

F A C T.

plus you dont get many mods fitted under $1000

Its a weekend car then go for the GTR, its not going to be run daily so fuel price, maintence etc wont be as much an issue bcos its not run as much.

I drive a R32 daily and keeping it reguarly serviced and maintained shouldnt have any issues with the car. $400-$700/month easy if you got you foot pressed hard on the accel pedal. Normal driving and odd few hit's no way that much.

GTR is alot older and issues with parts deterioting etc and cost of repair can be off putting to people choosing cars, but in the end are these things going to worry you n put you off in buying a car that has alot more pedigree n background??

There are well maintained R32's out there, just take time to find one.

What are you going to enjoy more to drive????

i would say...

ok i just got my r34 gtt just around 2 months. i am not bias wit my decision. (read above all voted 32gtr all have either a 32 gtst or gtr....)

b4 tat i was having the same problems too... deciding which car to buy...

like every one says..

Power = GTR no matter 32 , 33, 34 all gives u good power. good for weekends. long term = old + higher maintenances. fast fast fast. drove my lecturer's gtr hahaha he caught me searching for cars in his class (very very cool dude!) told me he drives a 32gtr too.

s15 = newer + looks wicked + good interior but small cabin.my head touched the roof ( I AM A SHORT ASIAN DUDE!) power wise abit low. diff to extract power from it. long term = lower maintenances. the car looks nice but it seems like a boys toy for younger ages.

r34 gtt = in the middle of both. interior is still consider as not bad, looks = new aswell. power = easier to extract than sr20. heavier but bigger cabin. more towards an adult kind of car. (not my opinion, my gfs lol) comfy when i drove the car.

i have ask mechanics aswell on all this 3 cars. driven all three. all got its pros n cons as everyone would say. petrol consumption = depends on the driver.... heavy foot = high petrol cost. its up to u to decide which car to buy. think long run (unless u wan to sell it after a year or so) or until u can afford a r34 gtr?

my choice? i really don know. was a huge fan of s15 but bought a gtt. why ? i got no idea...

i felt a connection between the car. end story a good condition overall car was my choice!

'power = easier to extract than sr20'

sorry but this is crap. The S15 SR20 has a much better 'more durable' turbo than GTT and with similar mods will out perform the gtt in all driving situations.

I used to own a japspec S15 and was making 210RWKW with just exhaust, PFC, boost (17-18psi), IC,fuel pump. injectors. my brother owned a GTT and he struggled to get this sort of power out of the standard turbo (he has recently sold his gtt and bought an s15)

So from a pure performance point of view S15 would be a clear second to the GTR.

My order would be

1. GTR (try for a R33 if you can, r32 are getting a bit old and hard to find a good one).

2. S15

3.gtt

Don't know what you're going on about there.. but a

GTT with a slide turbo, stock intercooler, powerfc, exhaust, boost around 15psi will make around 240rwkw.

At the end of the day, it's game over for the S15 once you swap turbos on the GTT.

It is a proven fact that the RB (Race Bread) engines are built stronger (more torque and outright power) than the SR however being a 6 cyl vs 4cyl, the SR would be better internally ballanced for high RPM.

From what i have read and from what i have driven, the R34 GTT is the pick from the S15 however if someone has the $$$ an GTR will be the ultimate.

Cheers

    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches. 
    • Welcome!  Can't go wrong with a Stag.
    • Looks good. Nice height.
    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto
