Both cost the same money,

Both are inline6 cylinder turbo's.

Heres some fast facts on the fast Ford:

Price: $43,965

Engine: Inline 6cyl dohc, 24valve turbo

Weight: 1732kg's

0-100km's: 6.0 seconds

0-400m: 14.3 seconds at 162km's/hr

Dont have the stats on the R34..

Consider that the R34 you buy for that money will most likely be a '99 model, and not a new car. Which would you buy, and why?

Which car is better? :)

i would buy R34. The falcon is too big, heavy, common and not as quick to drive (refering to BFYB 03). I don't need/want 4 doors. and even if i did, i'd pay extra and spend a whole lot mroe time, just to find a GT-T in manual. A similar M.Y. chaser is also another car in mind for 4 doors

I thought that would stir the hornets nest a little :)

I think they are quite similar cars, the only difference is the fact that the falcon has four doors. I'm sure in the back the skyline has only a bit less leg room.

It's not as outrageous comparison as say, V8 HSV GTS vs R33 GTST.. (differen class, different ages..)

Ok fine, the Falcon might be faster(?), but why compare the two?

A better comparison would be a JZS161 Aristo and a Falcon XR6T?

Now Now guys.. let's not get too carried away. I love my Nissans just as much as you do.

But if you want a Nissan family car the GTT & GTST are it. If you want a Nissan sports car you get a 200sx. If you want a racing performance machine you get a GTR.

The GTT is a Japanese family car with a turbo 6 engine, just as the XR6T's are.

It seems everyone has a different definition of sports car, and family car.

i think u mean that the 4 door skylines are family cars if that. dont forget skylines hav also been about performance, unlike the commos and falcon who hav had performace forced on them. i agree there are levels of sports cars but not to the point were a skyline is a family car and a 200sx is a sports car. some people would say that porsche and ferrari make REAL sports cars(compared to japs), some would not

how much did an R34 retail for? GT (NA)? I'm guessing $50k+ AU if it was an Oz spec model

That goes somewhere to the point of whether you can call it a family car. EG: whilst an M5 has 4 doors, i wouldn't really call it a family car - its a sports saloon type of car.

R34`s aren`t exactly Taxi`s...:)

Seriously, the Ford weighs nigh on 1800kgs, they just keep getting heavier and heavier, when logic (and our son of rajab Colin Chapman) say otherwise, and Ford and Holden are actually spearheading a totally new class of automobile... the "500kw House"...:(

All good in my book, just I think they (Forb and Holdem) are in a class of their own. Incomparable to anything else but themselves...:uh-huh:

      Shift Performance Ganador Reps

      By Lmic · Posted

      Came across these Ganador reps and am wondering if anyone has used these/come across these ?  Seem to look like reasonably good replicas (shape wise) from what I can see. Ive been told by them that they are moulded to be exact copies of original Ganadors (but thats what every replica version will say) https://www.shiftperformance.com.au/ganador-style-mirrors-suits-nissan-skyline-r33-gtr Photos of them installed appreciated Thanks 👍

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      lol, yeah, and how gutted I am now I’m back over in Europe (actual Europe) and dealing with the nightmare of U.K.-Continental Europe bureaucracy.   Anyway, arrived in NL early January with the BMW, whilst the Skyline followed suit about a week later. Both cars ended up stuck with their relative importers for about six weeks. Since then, I made a trip to the Nurburgring with a friend and have since ditched the Skyline in the garage. This week, I finally managed to find a suitable shop to do an alignment so hopped on over to Germany to fix the miserable mess the local Netherlands shop conducted; the car was just not aggressive enough in the rear for my driving style - I found myself understeering a fair bit at the ring which was really a first for me with this car. Mis-matched F&R tyres can be held partly responsible - have now moved to F+R NS2Rs. One thing I’ve noticed is the 180kph limiter just does not cut it here. I quickly hit that (for the first time) in Germany on the autobahn. Japanese circuits are small - at least the ones that were near me. I rarely spent much time in 4th. After much deliberation with the HKS SLD, I have ordered Nistune from Matt. Whilst the Skyline has been gathering dust I got to learning the highly neglected BMW I bought in the U.K. was in fact just that, highly neglected. Took the ol’ dog down to Switzerland last weekend with a progressively deteriorating front end. It went from vibration during braking at highway speed on the way down, to vibrating non-stop on the way back. I’ve already fixed numerous engine issues - low oil pressure, f**ked injectors, incorrect coils and plugs, electric water pump. Still to do is a suspension and brake overhaul, rear subframe replacement and likely more ageing engine electrical components. But I must say, I love it. After so long with the Skyline, I really didn’t know cars could be so comfortable.

      Thanks. I adjusted my soft cut to 7600rpm and if I see I'm still making power there, I'll consider readjusting to possibly 7800rpm while on the dyno.

      R34 GTT Wiring Harness Similarities

      By LjB123 · Posted

      Yeah not sure. I sourced another relay no problem, its definitely a relay according to Nissan parts, they used those specific relays on a bunch if cars around that time, but my two options are, find a behind dash wiring loom which is proving difficult, or get the current loom fixed up by the shop when they put my rebuilt engine back in, they are confident in their auto electrical abilities. Thing is my current loom has anti-theft stuff and GPS immobilisers wired into it so easiest option may be to just fix the current one to save ripping apart the immobiliser.
