I've currently got a 95 gtst and I'm contemplating on whether I should buy a 34 gtt or spend about 10grand on my current car. I like the looks of both cars however 34's are sort of boxy but tough at the same time and 33's look sleek but there's so many of them. Anywayz any recommendations would help, sank you.

You're going to lose most of that money either way, so do what you want to do. What do you want from a car? A reliable, nice car? Or a 300kw monster?

You will probably lose less with the R34. R33's are hard enough to sell as it is at the moment.. if you spend $10g on it you put it into "special interest" bracket. Only people interested in heavily modified cars will want to buy it when you decide to sell. There's fewer people that would want to buy a crazily modified R33 than there are that would want to buy an R34 with some mods. This is due to the usual insurances and reliability concerns.

Get the 34...newer car, less wear and tear, and better looking imo. Dont get me wrong id say sell the 33 put 10g towards a 32gtr, but then u get the headaches of mechanical wear on the car due to the age. 34 gtt comes out the best i think. good luck tho.

If it was a Series II R33 it'd be worth keeping and modding but... I wouldnt upgrade to an R34 GTT - be a bit boring basically the same car just newer, slightly more power and big wad of cash more money to buy... A real upgrade would be an R32/R33 GTR. But its up to you what you feel is an 'upgrade'.

EVO

what?

:rofl:

Tekno;

Yeah i guess you need to define "Upgrade" in your own mind before you make any choices...

To me and upgrade is newer/more features/better technoligy/better fuel consumption etc etc...

u could get a gtr.

or u could spend it all on ur current car. id probably do the 33 up. all for the reason of the 34 being a very similar car to what u currently have. so the upgrade wont be all that benifical to you personally *hypnotoad* :D

what are you looking at geting out of te r34 anyway that you couldnt get out of the 33. at least the 33 with $10k thrown at it will be a car with benifits :) where as a mildly worked 34 is still mild in all respects.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
