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.

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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
