Hi,

I'm new on the forums. First post.

Finally time to buy a GTR. I have always wanted the R34, but now that the new one is out, I'm not sure which one to go for.

I have a thing for the old car, so given the choice between a tuned R34 and an R35 with similar levels of performance, I would choose the R34. I don't know all that much about cars beyond the basics, so my question is, how much money would it cost to tune an R34 to R35 levels of performance, if at all possible? I'm interested in handling and overall balance more than outright power. What do you guys think of something like that Mine's replica at Autostyle, or getting an immaculate stock one and do it from the ground up? I'm an older guy so I have a bit of money to play with.

Appreciate any inputs.

Thanks

There is a thread about this "Tuned R34 vs R35"... Anyway...

Stock for stock the R35 GTR would win.

I would say you would have to spend a bit to get the R34 GTR to win over the R35 GTR.

The MCR R34 GTR in Japan was put to the test to race against a stock R35 GTR and the R34 won.

The Mines replica would suite your setup as Mine's concentrate to get an over balance, not just outright power as you have said.

To build a Mine's engine...

R35, espically if you can get an ADM one. Warranty ftw over modified vehicle. Its going to be much more reliable and headache free. Buy, key, on, drive. With the R34 its going to be a long list of things that you will need to worry about to get it to the 360kw or so that the R35 enjoys. Remember that the R35 is a latest tech motor with all the fancy-pants that that brings.

But the price difference between the two is significant. About 100k. You can buy alot of go fast bits for 100k, even if your paying someone else to do it all for you. With even 25 - 30 k you could walk into most reputable tuners shops and say you want a rebuilt motor and 360 kw at the wheels please and they should be able to sort you out. But be careful, if you do that in the wrong workshop they will wind up taking all your money and giving you as little in return as possible.

Unless you enjoy tinkering with your motor. I personally dont mind so much when mine breaks as I have another car, and tinkering is half the fun with these things.

In the handling department, well I dont know. The 34 is lighter I believe but the 35 is probably a better engineered car, gearbox at the back, weight distribution and whatnot. But then if you spend a little bit on the 34's handling it will also handle like a dream, their not bad from factory anyway.

Between the modded 34 and the 35 I think the 34 would be the more aggressive angrier car. But the 35 would have more class and turn more heads. I'd have the 35, but I can certainly appreciate why people would want the 34.

If you have the money get the R35 GTR and leave it stock. No need to worry about anything, and you have the performance.

Yuo buy an R34 GTR, you begine to modify it, things will start to go wrong, shake, rattle etc. It's part of the modifying game. In the end you will spend close to 100K playing witht he R34, might as well go the R35 with no headaches. Thats my point of view.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
