hey guys (and girls), im looking at buying a skyline but not sure if i want a r32gtr or r34 gtt(manual, turbo, coupe), i know the gtr will have more power but they are pretty old now and im thinking r34 would be more reliable and just newer, iv got bout 25 to 30 grand to spend, any suggestions.

i think what he meant if that u would get a gtr u'll be tempted into the tracks and that would set u back heaps. but then again 30k is a decent budget for a well tunned 32.

daily drive go for the 34 mate, simply less to fix up, newer more reliable etc. both cars would satisfy u on the weekend track days.

wat do u mean only 30k,i thought that would be more than enough

This has been covered so many times:

Buy a GTR for 20k, drive it for a few months, then put wheels on it and maybe exhaust, the motor then breaks and you've got to rebuild an RB26, then here comes a nice fat bill which will blow your 30k budget right out of the water

Totally agree mate. But we can't EXPECT his motor to die. It's safer to assume it needs a rebuild, especially seeing as a new owner will be excitedly thrashing about, but the turbos will be on their last legs for sure.

If you want comfy, cleaner and hassle free daily driving get the GTT (i would). But if you are serious on performance and don't mind refurbishing the GTR (which would make it nicer to own anyway), even rebuilding the motor just to be safe, then fork out $20k and set aside another $10k for renovation on the GTR.

Both choices have their merits. You decide.

lol @ 180sx guy .... u see the R34 being smooth to drive??? compared to ur 180sx and the GTR coz its the same age?

I had a 180sx.. its a piece of shit compared to the GTR. it drives nothing alike.

Dont get me wrong.. i loved my 180sx to bits, but it doesnt have anything on the GTR in any aspect.

As for the GT-T, great car, great engine, great chassis, looks great, goes good enough for every day, is lower km's on motor, has less km's on chassis, has newer interior, But its not a GTR. Its just a GT-T.

If u wanna scare urself stupid when u thrash a car.. GTR is the way, if u want a more refine but ultimately much slower car, then the GT-T is the go... Just be aware that both cars run ceramic turbos. and although ppl love sayin gtr turbos r older blah blah blah, what makes u think the GT-T has had an easier life than the GTR??? what makes u think that a GTR is still running the same turbo it had when it left the factory???

i would probs reccomend the 34 just for a daily drive and reliability

that being said i love my 32 gtr

even tho it may cost a bit in the long run, pople forget that your buying a super car for 20k, or in my case 15k :(

Just like in top gear....

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
