Which Would U Rather Have, And Why?

[R-SPEC]

just curious...

kgo

[smasha]

depends what you want the car for...

Manual's more fun to drive, auto's good for cruising and that's about it.

myself?.. I'd rather the manual R33 and spend the change on a couple of mods

[n15m0]

Having owned my 4dr GTT for more than 2 years...no way I'd trade with a manual 33 GTST...newer car, less problems...good mileage too...the tiptronic can be fun when u want it to be...

[Ryanrb25]

i faced this same decision about a year ago....gunmetal grey GT-T 4 door turbo auto or S2 R33 GTS-T. i slapped myself in the face and bought the 33.

best decision ive made

n15m0 did you buy your car coz you needed the room? kids? etc?

or for a different reason?

Having owned my R33 for 2.5years, and having travelled about 60k in that time, the only "problems" I had were the coilpacks going. I've been very lucky in that respect, and if I had to do it again, I'd do the same.

Mind you, I take very good care of it in terms of regular servicing and the quality of fluids that go into it. The few mods I've done were carefuly chosen to maximise efficiency of the stock ECU without boosting the car.

33 s2

why? manual

had a auto car for 2 years an i didnt enjoy it one bit (was a commonwhore.. not much to be enjoyed anyway.)

tiptronic still wouldnt cut it for me

yes, was planning to have a kid then, and needed a reliable quick car for work...the perfect family performance sedan! ....baby seat now resides in the back seat...

I guess it depends on what you're going to use the car for, but if someone where to give me ones of those cars at my choice, I would probably go for the 4 door 34 because I want to be able to put children in there when I have some. The manual 33 would be more fun, but once you have kids, you're going to need a new family car.

[dangerous_daveo]

Cant you get a manual gtt? Because for me, that would be the logical solution.

Either way, still the gtt, its a newer car, with newer stuff in it. That and its a sedan, and looks MILES better.

[r_palac]

R34 GT-T hands down.

Why? Like a few others have already said... newer car, looks way better, drives better, more reliable. One of the best r34's ive seen was a sedan tiptronic

[charlie25T]

I had the same decison at Japlink Motors...........

i choose the r33

and mate im luving it

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

manual ftw

[BAMR33]

If it was 666dan's tiptronic r34 I'd choose that, such a nice car.

"edit" just read the sedan bit, yeah I'd go the 33 unless you were planning on having children some time soon.

[R-SPEC]

pretty 50 50 ere...

nowhere close to having any kids so get that out of the way lol

not looking at manual gtt's coz they cost a decent amount more than the auto/tiptronics..

from what i can see on car sites, the 2 cars in subject cost around the same amount

wouldn't mind the sedan 34 coz its different, looks pimp once modded, newer, easier to get in the back etc etc

wouldn't mind the r33 coz i've always liked em, like the body shape and its manual.

car will be used as daily, will slowly mod it cosmetically and performance wise and it will get driven alot. none of that "weekender" crap

decisions decisions....

[ztuned]

was in that position at the beginning of the year.

full stock 1998 r34 GTT tiptronic (2 dr coupe)

or

s2 1997 r33 GTST manual with mild mods (2 dr coupe aswell)

with very similar prices too

after driving both, the r33 s2 is what i ended up with, kinda felt disabled driving auto/tiptronic lol...im gonna get flamed haha

[GT-R32]

If I get to keep my GTR and it's a daily? Probably the R34.

If I only get one car out of those two? Probably the R33.

[anfo]

if family prospects on the way

get a stagea LOL 34 front end conversion

[YSR020]

R33.

I currently own two cars, both auto and this is after owning 20+ manual ones - and I'd never own another auto again. The gearbox difference makes the decision a simple one. (and that's taking into account my favourite Skyline IS an R34 4 door).

[Howie]

Asked myself the same question when looking for a car also... ended up with the R34 GTT Tippy... never regretted it.
