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.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
