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.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
