Well , for starters im buying one of the following: R33 Gts-4 , R33 Gts , R34 Gt , i have researched so much about every model of these cars Including the year models , but i still cant decide what model to get. I was just seeking for some opinions from people.

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

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
