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:

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
