GTR

R32 - boxy looking thing with shite rims, easily fixed however. lighter/smaller than the others and more hardcore in its purpose, and of course the original. the cult hero. long live godzilla!

R34 - looks the best by far, interior + technology much better. a bit too pricey for me still, but def worth it if i could afford it.

R33 - average in every department compared to the other two. still a mean car, but doesnt stand out.

GTST

R33 - sleek, stylish (with a kit). IMO the best shape GTST, easily modified, lots of aftermarket support, best bang for your buck.

R34 - not a fan, less aftermarket support, my choice if i wanted to keep one stock.

R32 - hate the styling, but great handling. poxy RB20 lets it down a lot, not as tough as R33. drop a RB25 in and it might go hard, but it still looks like a bag of ass.

how can you guys NOT love the R33 GTR??!

sorry i think they're one of the better looking gt-r's

they're big, hulky, nice wing... then again i'm a fan of eclectic styling

my other favourite gt-r is the kenmerri skyline

Ultimately I wanted a R34 GTR. Looks the most bad ass and tuff out of all.

Latest technology and a lot more refined car.

But I am very impressed with the R32 GTR. It too can look very tuff and hold an aggressive stance and is the orginal Godzilla.

Raw power performance.

R33 GTR, bit on the chubby side LOL! But still capable of performing very well and looking good.

R35 gtr> R31 Silouette>R33gtr>r32gtr>r32gtst>r33gtst>r34gtt>R35 (those non turbo things)>r34gtr......

I think the r34 gtr was one of the more uglier looking lines from the outside, sure there good cars performance and interior, but id rather the look of a black r34gtt instead, ultimately i love the gtr r35 and the old skool r31 gts.......

but im still happy with the look of my r33 gtst series 2 with gtr front.... just took this pic now

The gtr range is all good to me: it brings out the best in some people.

Stop at a traffic light or pertrol station or maccas and you may end up having a conversation with a complete stranger.

Many times ive had a smile, a chat bout cars, even dedicated v8 crowd will wanna have a chat about turbo engines.

Alot of people dont like the r33 gtr but i like it, its kinda more grown up. Jst like a conservatively dressed female that bends over and you notice her lower back tattoo; might as well be a bullseye

R35 is not a skyline.

while it may be an a stonkingly good car, it doesnt have an RB, doesnt have manual box, is designed to be difficult to modify, and looks hideous. im glad its as fast as it is, no doubt due to the paddle shift etc, but im sorry i just dont like it.

+1 to R34 z-tune. best car EVER.

You overlooked the main reason we don't like it......

can't afford one :D

Lets be honest here. all the skylines/GTR's are bashed with an ugly stick compared to the true beauties of the car design world.

Z-tune is a good car to drive no doubt but when it comes to it's looks.. what is it they keep saying at the moment ?

Lipstick on a pig :)

I've owned a few GTR's GTST's of differing types and I've also owned a 1977 Volvo station wagon with a V8 in it at the same time. So I am afraid with tastes like mine the skyline/gtr is guilty by association. ;)

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.

      It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.

      Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
