tossing up whether to buy a 34 gtr or 33 gtr

i love the 33 shape but i have heard the 34's are better?

i dont know much about gtr's. whats the go?

this car wont be modified much apart from a ecu and exhaust and some mild boost.

Definitely the 34. Nothing wrong with the 33 but after how many years of driving one do you want to step into the seat of yet another 33. It will be a completely different car, but most of the interior will be the same. A 34 will look and feel different and new, plus it'll look nicer to a lot of your car ignorant friends. Besides, apart from the recent R35, the R34 has been the ultimate car for so many Skyline (and other car) drivers, you'll be the envy of everyone on the road.

I like the R34 better, looks wise.

Better as in... All depends, handling / power / overall refinement.

Things are inproved in the R34 at the same time more buttons to push. Overall same car, engine, but depending on which level of model.

Ok Stock R33 GTR vs Stock R34 GTR = Same with a few extra inbuilt features.

R34 got electronic LCD multifuntion display unit / R33 got analog gauges.

The LCD can show the G-Force the car is pulling and there is a lap timer, a rev light, all the Oil Temp / Oil Pressure / Boost Gauge / Water Temp Gauge / Fuel Injector Gauge / Exhaust Temp Gauge etc... Do you need all these? Its all just inbuilt accessories. Not complaining if I had it but just more things to look out for.

Unitll you get to the V-Spec II N1 / V-Spec II Nur / M-Spec, there will be slight differences in engine, suspension and revisions on the car.

I drove a 303kw GTR R33 then went for a ride in a 450 kw GTR R33 with all the sweet bolt on parts... Yeah its faster / better than a R34, but I could do the same and bolt on all the seet mods in the GTR R34 then that will / could be better... All depends on whats done on the car and personal prefferance.

But I must say sitting in the R34 I was very impressive. The Dashboard and the whole interiour is very refined as aposed to the R33.

Personaly I like the R34 with its TUFF Killer looks but it just cost more than my GTR R32.

GO THE GTR R34!!! :)

no dout BNR34 is a awesome car, from stock it has the looks and performance. it's a beast!!!

current mods to my car is:

Highflow cat

Nismo exhaust

Cam Gears

Nismo panel filter(factory box)

1 bar boost

exedy clutch

Dyno tuned with 98 octane fuel

Pumps out 278kw to the ground, which with a proper launch beats a F430 by 3 car lengths and a gallardo by 3.5 car lengths by 3rd gear. car runs perfect and reliable.

get the BNR34 well worth the extra dosh.

BNR34 = R34 GTR. oops left it out i'm using a Apexi Power FC. Yeah it was pretty cool running those 2 cars, my friend was shadered that he lost to me in both his cars. both cost about half mil each on the road. bloody deafening with both cars redlining every gear.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
