Hello guys,

I'm new to Skylines here and I have decided to take this path and buy a Skyline as my first car here in Australia.

I've been checking out the Skylines and I havent decided which one to get, I'm wondering whats the difference between a 1996 R33 GTS-T series II and a R34 GTT, they both have the same engine and its turbo.

I'm looking for performance here and I'd love to get a descent Skyline with a good potential.

thanks folks

Welcome :)

R33s are very cheap these days but finding a decent one is getting harder, however there are some good bargains if you look around.

The 34s have are also coming down in price (i have a mate selling a very clean one)

R34s have a bit more power than the 33s

R34 engines also have solid lifters and rods like the RB26.

At the end of the day it comes down to cost.

A good 34 will be between 19-25k

R33 between 14-17k

Happy hunting!

They don't have the same engine. 34's have the Neo version of the engine. Which is newer & more powerful and have more torque down low.

Nissian's spec says the R33's Rb25det has 187kw & 294Nm of torque, while the R34's Rb25det Neo approaches the Jap limit of 206kw & 343Nm of torque.

If you have the $, always get the newer model, that is the R34.

Thank you NYTSKY and Mayuri Krab for the replies.

I found a 1996 R33 which costs $9200 and it has done 125k.

I also found a 1998 R34 which has done 107k costing $13500.

The R33 is a coupe but the R34 isn't, I'm really looking for a coupe cuz i think it looks better.

Is the R34 an auto? Price seems cheap for a 34. The manual ones I see around here (WA) are still going for $15k+.

Whats your max budget? Thats gonna be the biggest deciding factor.

Also do you have links to the ads? So we can have a look.

Mayuri Krab,

yes I forgot to mention they're both auto cuz I never had a manual car, so yeah am looking for an auto pretty much.

For my first car here I can pay plus or minus $12k.

heres an ad for the car im interested in atm.

MSTRshenanigans goof for you man :)

I was just checking out tradecarview.com and they've got nice cars for very good prices. The Nissan Skylines are much cheaper than and they've done very low k's. I'm not sure about their condition though. I'm thinking about getting my Skyline from there.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
