I've been thinking of buying a skyline and am considering either an R32 GTR or R34GTT as I am not that keen on the R33 shape.

What I don’t understand is why are R33 GTR V specs so cheap compared to R32 and R34 GTRs?

Also how would an R34GTT do for occasional track days, are they to heavy?

What do you mean R33 GTRs are so cheap compared to R32 GTRs? They're more expensive... :angry: Make sure you look for a good one, like you can get R32 GTRs for $15k, you can get R33 GTRS for $23k, I wouldn't go near them though...

If you're just doing track days, I'd stay with your S15 mate. If you want a car that's awesome to cruise in / drive everyday, and perform well at the track.... well that's when it gets a bit different :P

It seems there are plenty of R33 GTRs even V specs in the low 20K compared to R34 which are 60K to 100K plus. Even a good R34 GTT seems to be in the mid to high 20K.

Most R33 GTRs start at around $26-27k+, and that's for a 1995 one... sure there's a few exceptions, but as Blitz said, be careful :angry: I just did a search on carsales and it said the same price range.... in NSW anyway.

R34s always fetch a higher premium because they are younger and until soon, they've still been the most recent model. I know of a few guys that have brought in R34 GTRs for $45k recently :P

If you want some hefty performance i'll add that there's a big difference between a GTR and GTT/GTST. So you'd be getting a great performer with an R34 GTT but it'd be shot when compared to any GTR.

Either settle for something good and keep your car or get a GTT, or fork out the money and be blown away and forever in love with a GTR :wave:

Thought I would raise this one from the dead.

I've noticed r33 gtr's are dipping into the high teens in price but it seems the r32 gtr is getting more expensive.

After trawling around the net and seeing some nice stockish examples of r33's in the high teen and low twenty area I can't understand why someone would buy an older r32 in the same price range or higher.

I'm just after opinions on why there seems to be this trend whether it's collectability, preferred styling or are people just asking too much money for the r32 gtr?

If your after a daily driver then don't get a GTR unless your willing to visit the ATM on a more regular basis. An R34 GT-ST is a great option but the neo motor lacks the reliability of its predecessor in the 33's. It all comes down to how much your planning on modifying the car too.

Lol.

Neo lacks reliability?

And there is no r34gtst.

Other than that its a well thought out informative post.

Interesting post, was just thinking the same thing.
Am looking for a Skyline now (no, not a P plater) and am tossing up between the 33 GT-R or a 34 GT-T.
How are the GT-Rs like as a daily? Rubbish aircon? Am more tempted by the 34 to be honest, but I've always wanted a GT-R.

Might keep a 34 GT-R as my midlife crisis car :whistling:

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
