A friend and i are having an argument about 2 cars and which is faster / better handling and generally the better car for what you buy a skyline for.

I thought it a good idea to put it to the sau -wa branch.

Case in point.

R33 Manual 2D

V

R34 Auto 4D

Any opinions? thoughts or confirmations please? sorry if this is the wrong place wasteland or whatever.

Should we assume both cars are GTR's? Ill say no cos one is a four door lol.

In my opinion i would go for the 33, purely because i would never own any automatic car, let alone a sports car. Ive heard from a few people on these forums that their automatic gear boxes are letting them down heavily.

In terms of coupe vs sedan, im not 100% sure, but doesnt the sedan have different suspension? Ie, softer, more body roll. Not to mention a sedan would be heavier, so i think the 33 beats it for handling.

Speed would probably be a close one, but once again i think weight would be a factor.

Anyway, im definitely no expert, fun topic though =D R34 manual coupe ftw! =P

Everyones gonna have there one sided opinions. As for the fastest, take it down to the drags but judging from what you've said the R34 will more than likely be slower having AT and the extra weight. Cannot comment on the handling.

Ive never driven a r33 so dunno about it but ive driven a r34 4dr auto before and at it wasnt a slug. The neo engine is quite pokey and it did get up and go for an auto. I think they have more power than the r33 rb25 from factory. I do have to say tho, the triptronic was a dog for giving it stick. Very unpredictable on what gear it wanted to be in. You can see how people can loose control of the car with a auto.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
