R32 Gtr Vs S15 Jap Spec Vs R34 Gtt

[Beer Baron]

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.

[ISC-Performance]

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!!

[barricade]

I would say S15, its newer has a reasonable interior and handling is great.

You don't need much to get over 200rwkw out of it and you don't need to change injectors to get that.

[stolen_s15]

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

[bloodzkull]

what are the running costs for a weekend drivin gtr for a year. fuel isn't exactly an issue and it will only be a fun car as i have a work ute and a 4x4 to do all the running around in.

pm me if you want.

cheers, stephen

34 gt is a heap of shit

S15 jus pure sex

r32 gtr if you want some power

[Howie]

34 gt is a heap of shit

34GTT ain't tho

[dmr]

as some have said, i'd go on and drive the skyline legend. you're only cutting yourself short by getting a rwd, when all the potential is in the GTR

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.

[Jpower]

GTR hands down!

Nothing has more presence and notoriety on the roads, period!

[gtrboosting]

what are you guys on about?? you can find a good condition gtr for 20k

[barricade]

Care factor has gone below 0...

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

[godzl1975]

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????

[lcy]

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!

[lcy]

ps : i wouldnt ask u to buy a 34gtt

less gtt higher value! rare lol

have fun shopping n deciding!

[marchGTR]

'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.

[marchGTR]

I was talking standard turbos on both cars. Both cars will make similar power but the S15 is almost 250kg lighter.

[QRI05E]

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.
