33 Gtst Vs 34 Gt-t

[nortj06]

Been looking at both of these cars a bit an leaning towords the 33gtst series2. Most of the gt-t's i see are tiptronic but is it really any good. how would both the cars compare stock and how would a manual gt-t compare to the manual gts-t. just interested.

cheers.

GDay Jackson,

Someone after me will surely supply you with some engine specs comparing the R33 GTsT with the R34 GTT,

but I'd certainly pick the R34 GTT for a couple of reasons (even though I like the R33 shape better - purely from a subjective angle)

i) being a later model car, you have more chance of getting one with less Kms and less wear

ii) street cred says that an R34 GTT (manual) has won the past two NZ Targas with its 4.1 diff (against GTRs, Porsches, STis, EVOs etc)

The plus for the R33 is that they're going pretty cheap and there's lots to pick from. Just pick carefully and try >3 on the day eh?

Cheers, T

What the hell are you talking about?

If you are talking about Joe McAndrew then his car is not a gtt, its a gtr!

Looks like a Black GTT to me! Just watched it again!

Never mind, let's get this thread back on the road and help our friend out eh?

Thats because it has a gtt front bumper

And yes, back on topic.

It is probly best that you go and test a r33 and a r34 for yourself to make a decision, each have their good and bad points such as

r33 is lighter and less powerfull

r34 is heavier but has more power

r34 is newer so should be in better condition

etc etc

And when it comes down to modifying both are pretty similar, espcially when it comes to engine modifications.

True..

In terms of engine.. a GTT is in every way superior - More PSi from stock, ceramic turbo etc.

R33 GTST pushes 184 kW, 294 Nm

R43 GTT pushes 206 kW, 343 Nm

I am really not a fan of either cars..

But after driving both.. GTT hands down..

Save a little more for a manual GTT..

R33's these days are usually thrashed to the shithouse.. which means more km.. which means you need to replace things earlier.

34's have a higher cabin quality with more comfort..

I think the question you should be asking.. is;

33GTR vs. 34GTT.

Even then.. you could buy a 34 GTS4 and would be almost the same a 33GTR for a cheaper price..

Thats my 2cents

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

there's a 10k price difference... that's why i drive a 33.

if i went for a 34 i'd still have a stock turbo and suspension setup

[Morgs]

The R34 is definately a better option, its just a bit more money.

I upgraded the girls 33 to a 34, and everything is nicer.. just a better / nicer car all around. Being newer will do that....

I've got an r34 gt-t which I bought after trading in my r33.

Noticable seating position difference, lower and sportier feel in the r34. Less rear legroom in the r34 being shorter overall, but difference is marginal.

Noticable increase in chassis rigidity in an r34, steering feels a lot lighter, turn in is sharper and much more stable powering out of corners, this makes it feel lighter and more nimble than an r33 but is a heavier car

coming from an r33 they're definitely a worthwhile upgrade, which you will notice when you drive and look at both.

No battery in the boot made it easier for me to install split speakers into the rear parcel shelf (battery put back in the engine bay for the r34 models)

no ugly external radio aerial on the 34

R33 GTR, probably more chance previous owner would've thrashed it (as opposed to a gtst)

insurance premium jumps moreso I've found (I looked into getting an r33 GTR before I chose the r34)

I'd imagine running costs would be a bit more expensive in the sense of insurance, replacement parts and repairs shuld anything go bang

all the best with your car hunting

hey man,

my 99 R34 GT-T manual is on its way from Japan atm

i got it for 17000 complied and landed here in adelaide.

5 spd manny with 50,000 on clock grade 4.5 outta 5 in auction.

lowered, exhaust, tint

no scratches or dents, perfect body.

DVD system with sat nav

white 2 dr.

I have a mate that has the same one so i tested it before i bought mine, and eveything about them is amazing. im very happy with it so i recomend the R34 GT-T by all means, r33 are nice, but i prefer a 34 by FAR! nicer looking cars in my opinion

But good luck with everyhting mate! im sure you'll find what your looking for.

Cheers, J

34... both are awesome but i think interior wise the 34 is much nicer. Triple gauge cluster, Tri spoke wheel, nice seats. Interior wise its a world above, and thats where you will be spending your time!

[Dick Wadd]

34 has a stiffer chassis too, even stiffer than an r33 gtr i think (happy for someone with more knowledge to either confirm or dispute this though, as I can't remember where i read it).

Plus, in my view more important than the differrence in KW is the better low-end torque of the NEO engine, 343nm@3200rpm vs. 295NM@4800RPM for the 33. This, and the better quality interior, is why most people say its a more refined ride than a 33.

If you are interested in purchasing a r33 gtst series 2 then pm me Im selling mine.. So if you are keen let me know

[gts-4 dreamer]

if you want an R... like we all did.. buy it... you will ultimately wish you had.

33's are a cheap way into a well balanced car. Will take money to get the performance you will want.

chassis rigidity, 34 gtt's are 'better'... 33's feel sloppy as a wet fish without tensioning... SERIOUSLY.... being better isnt exceptionally hard...

33 vs 34 engines total output is not hte story... stock for stock a 34 will JUST beat a 33. the 34 will be more fuel efficient throughout the rev range making more average power throughout that same range.

p.s. they are all second hand cars...

as clarkson said and is quite accurate actually.... they have all been wound back somewhere around dubai..

[R33GOD]

I think the question you should be asking.. is;

33GTR vs. 34GTT.

Explain how this is possible?

I dont think a r34 gtt would come close. Ive driven a r34 gtt and my current 33 gtr.

The R is far more superior.

The gtt just looks "fresher"

[LIVE FAST]

hi,

Im tossing up between r33 gtr vspec or r34 gtt.....

Opinions please?

cheers

RB26DETT + AWD + GTR............. nuff said!

[krzysiu]

Ide take an R33 GTR over an r34 gtt anyday!

Thing is if you want a gtr, you wont be satisfied untill you have one...

Which is why i might be selling my series 2 r33 gts-t and upgrading to a 1996 R33 GTR V-SPEC series 2
