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.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • 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.
