The R34. It has more doors, a bigger boot, is newer and is more practical. Or perhaps the R33 because it has 5 gears and more available parts?

It all depends on what you are comparing the cars on. :P

^^ "very unpredictable on what gear it wanted to be in" try tiptronics? lol

this question is stupidddd too many varying factors/opinions.

either way the R32 with Rb25 would chop them both in all aspects.

I would definitely go for a R32 with a RB25, like me and Char did :P

If I have to choose between the R33/2door/manual and R34/4door/auto. I would go for the 33.

Ask youself why you are buying a skyline. Is it to have a awesome sports car that is easily modified, reliable-ish, fast, nice looking. Which can be a track weapon. = 33

Or are you looking for a family car to take you and then kids on a road trip and to commute everywhere. = 34

Experts, LOL

I think even a 4 door R34 looks better than the R33, hands down.

Dunno about gear ratio's, some auto's have really short ratio's down bottom, and taller ratio's up top than their manual equivalents. Auto's can also high-stall.

The weight difference is nothing like what some people make it out to be.

Assuming theyre both N/A, if you 'battle' them out, they'll both be slow, and handle like shit with stock suspension.

The wya I see it, it comes down to the R34 being alot better on the eye inside and out, not to mention I havent seen any Asians, fat kids, geeks, or fat Asian geeks driving R34s around, so that might keep you away from a bad crowd too.

The R33 may have a very slight edge over the R34 in weight and gear ratio's, the R34 will have its own advantage being a newer car, better technology.

Thats my 2 cents

And for the record:

Look up the twin engine use in the Macchi M.C.72, its a V24, over 50L in displacement producing 3100+ hp.

Sure, it was made and used in a PLANE, but still, stick THAT between your towers!

Just an thought, why not go to http://www.carsales.com.au/car-research/ you'll probably find the actual differences here,-with a bit of luck :banana: .

thing is that i know the difference im proving a point to him.

dont see how can you compare these 2 cars cuz ones a coupe and ones a 4dr auto. my opinion, it comes to what you want really. problem with the auto R34 is that you cant fit that everyones fav Apexi Power FC due to the shiftlogic transmition, which is connected and controlled by the factory ecu. so pretty much unless you want to keep the car standard or maybe some minor mods and use it as a daily driver, the R34 4dr auto is a practical car. but if you want a coupe with a manual gearbox which everyone will probably have instead unless they only have an automatic licence, the R33 coupe manual is best for tuning but can still remain practical if you do sleeper mods (seeing as how the government and some of the public love to bitch about Fast-and-Furious styled cars these days).

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
