You'll get more out of a R33 GTR for the same cash outlay. It will most likely cost you more to run and maintain though.

Depends on how much you like the look/shape/interior/extra features of the R34 GTT :D

I went for the R34 GTT because I am willing to hold out for an R34 or R35 GTR.

Cheers.

The GTR is a faster car and more fun out of the box :D

R34 GTT's are nice but they're the tame version of a GTR, nothing more (they're still an awesome car though).

I've driven both extensively and as long as you're prepared to put a bit more into the maintenance of a GTR, the GTR is 100% the best option.

I dont understand why the GTR takes more maintenance?

IMO both probably need the same oil changes, coolant changes. The only difference is your diff oil changes might be abit dearer in the GTR because your doing front and rear. Apart from that, I dont understand why maintenance varies

when stuff goes wrong it will cost more. And parts can be harder to find.

Go the GTR you will love it. Have you even driven the both of them yet? Surely you would have feel the huge difference, but i guess it depends what you want out of it.

Daegu, i've investigated that option and it's not as cheap or as easy as it sounds. You'd almost be better off saving the dough and getting a 34 GTR .. and judging by how much these things have dropped in price, it wouldn't be such a stretch.

Thanks guys for the suggestion

I think may go for the GTR..

Coz i may want the power more than the look. .. or RX7 s8.. it got power and look good as well

need start to seach for the good condition and cheap 33R now.

you can get decent r34 gtrs from japan for between 40 and 50 k now complied and landed

Interesting that you say that. My GTT would owe me about $50K including purchase price and many many mods. I wonder if I would have been better off waiting a little while and buying an R. Is a stock GTR better than a fairly heavily worked GTT? That is the question. AWD vs 2WD. GTR has the funky computer display, GTR looks meaner, but the GTT would now be running quite a few more horses at the wheels.

R34 GTR only cost that much to au? I saw in carsales peoples still selling over $70 - 90k so expensive

Thanks for telling me that....... I think i need to do more research how to get a 34R for between 40 and 50k as well

As much as I like the R33 GTR, they are hard to find one's in good nick these days.. their almost becoming like the R32. I was going to purchase one, but the R34 just had me for some reason.. sleeker design, More rigid and sturdy chassis than the previous models. great weight distribution. and handling. etc etc. and the Neo RB25 is a great engine to mod. puts out the same power than a stock R34GTR but its just RWD. which is more fun. :thumbsup:

I've had both cars before too. As Tommo said a gtr is always a GTR. GTT is the slightly tamer version indeed.

Although we have to say it is newer, but hey, i did come across problems with my GTT that needs to be fixed as well and GTT parts ain't that cheap too. Went to the 33 GTR and never looked back. Handling and performance wise the GTR craps all over the GTT.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
