R34 Gt-v/gt-x

Hey guys,

I'm just trying to confirm a few things I've seen on the forums here recently in regards to the differences between R34 GT-V's, and GT-X's.

I believe it was in a research thread, it was mentioned that the main difference is that a GT-V is basically a GT-T optioned chassis (bigger brakes, and so on), but with an RB25DE (neo) instead of a DET (obviously).

I'm just trying to confirm if this is the case, and if possible, maybe see if I can get a hold of a list of differences between the GT-T, GT-V, and GT-X (and I guess any of the other N/A Model 34's, like the GT25).

The reason is that I'm a p-plater in Melbourne, and subject to the new laws (which means no turbo til after I'm off my P's).

I want my R34 now, and if the above is true, then obviously a GT-V would be a better longer term option, whether I'm turbo'ing the original engine (Thanks 666DAN :/), switching the engine, or just getting into N/A performance.

Is anyone able to enlighten me?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thank you.

Here's a bit of reading on the GT-V for you: http://www11.ocn.ne.jp/~skyworks/gtv_specs.html

Personally I would go for the GT-V for the turbo brakes and other handling features. Nissan failed at N/A brakes, and having the bigger R34 4 and 2 pot calipers with bigger rotors from the factory is certainly worth while.

What you said in your 2nd sentence is pretty much spot on. Thats why I bought one.

I've added links from my research in previous threads over the past couple of years so a search may bring them up as this has been asked before.

Also want to mention the GT-X also comes in a turbo. Alot of people don't know this.

Thank you! Lots of good information :ninja:

I did do a search, but unfortunately, my work has a fairly annoying firewall, which stops me from searching properly, and from replying :laugh:

And I have seen the GT-X turbo, does that mean it doesn't have the bigger brakes? Would be odd :D

I will be trying to find your other threads.

Again, thank you guys for this - now I just have to work out 4 or 2 doors, and see what I can find.

GT-X is equipment trim level - it has no bearing on things drivtrain wise such as HICAS, turbos, brakes etc....

Basically a GT-X is a speced up model of the basic GT such as Xenon lights (usually butchered during compliance), premium audio (please note this is jap spec), rear privacy class, heated mirrors... probably other small things here and there......

GT 2.0

GT 2.5

GT-X 2.5

GTT 2.5 (turbo)

GTT-X 2.5 (turbo)

Essentially a GT-V is the same spec level as a GTT-X 2.5 (turbo) - minus the turbo charged engine and guages.

Hope this helps.

Just a side note on the brakes, i've got stock r34 na brakes on mine and i'm very impressed how it pulls up. I can get abs kicking in quite easily at 110km/hr, so on the street its more than enough. Even with the pads in it, it takes some very spirited driving it get them "fading". I actually think it pulls up harder and faster than my brother r32 gtr (std brakes aswell).

With that being said, once it gets the new engine i've new rotors, calipers, pads and lines for it :banana:

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?

      When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?

      We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
