Dont get the r33 gts-4 as they only come NA and the drivetrain loss is awful.

My pick would be the r34 gt; newest model and looks great in black with the nismo kit, lowered on volk GTC's

r33 gts; series 2 with from lip addition. Should have some extra cash for extras

ps: NA skyline brakes are shocking and should be upgraded as a first mod!!!!!

R34 being the newer model will have a better chassis, and having owned both an r33 and r34 and the same would go for non turbo models. The 34 will be a much more rewarding ownership in my opinion, nicer seating position and improved driving feel overall.

Don't quote me but I think the r34 n/a will have 5 stud wheels as opposed to an r33's 4 stud, a big plus for the r34 if you plan on getting some rims

my 2c, good luck mate

Who lied to you?

Do you know how the ATTESSA system works?

It depends for what purpose you want the car for. Daily, daily and track/drift, daily and mountain roads etc.

Daily driver, Id have to say GTT. Less km, less things to go wrong, more power, better responce, bigger brakes, higher level of comfort/features etc. If it comes down to 33 vs 34 you would be silly to pick a 33.

In my opinion 33's are pig ugly. But after driving both GTS4 and GTST (R32, and the 33 ATTESSA TES is even quicker), have to say that the level of grip in a GTS4 is far more superior than a GTST. Grip and power should always be correlational.

R34 NA's come with 5 studs.

R33 NA's come with 4 studs.

There is a model called an R34 GT-V that is a GTT but with an NA engine. So you get the same brakes, box, diff etc. as the turbo's but with an RB25DE

I dont understand???

My r33 gts-4 only made 78awkw on the dyno; 147kw at motor hence drivetrain loss

the r33 simply dosent have enough power to ever require attessa

r32 gts-4 is a different story.

Have dyno sheet still lolz

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
