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.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
