Actually I find the gtt looks blend without kit. Sorta like S15. But I do agree they will look awesome with some money spent just on body kits.

Anyway, a GTR will provide a better platform for everything imo. You dont have to do much to get the power + its already fat enough.

You'll be surprised at the way a stock GTR handles. Ask Rohan or Russel (Or the guy who I sold my car to, that's after he fixes his jaw back into place)

On the twisted sister and rattlesnake cruises, no GTST could keep up through corners :)

Put in some decent monotube coilovers, whiteline sway bars, lower it a tad...really you won't go back.

It's like high class hookers. :D

Nic_A31, I completely disagree about seats. R33 GTR seats are a million times better than R34 GTT ones. Way more comfy and supportive imho.

Agree with Brandon, 34's look plain with no kit. I was with a mate and pointed out a spoilerless 34 on the road, and he was like, wtf, thats a skyline?

I don't see whats wrong with using a GTR as a daily.... Its not as if its hard to drive =\

Or you could go for a limited edition tommy kaira like me....

Its just a case of tracking one down.....

I was finding it hard to decide to which to go for until i saw the tommy kaira pop up for sale..!!!

The GTR is sorta like my only car but I dont drive to work. In terms of comfort, I think its actually quite good. And yes, the seats are very nice. I was told when a few of my friends sat on them,and not just the front, even the rear seats.

+1, aaaand you get tonnes of legroom in the back for R33 GTRs.

With the tommy kaira, theres a R33 GTR tommy kaira on carsales.... :)

Yea only if you've got short legs like me... Hahaha. But seriously, the legroom isnt bad at all when you're comparing to the likes of say, rx7?

My GTR could be a bit of a hassle as a daily. So i am buying a daily car to make up for it, but this goes for any relatively high horspower car. Heavy clutches and shit day to day fuel consumption make for an expensive daily.

Unless you've got aftermarket clutch (which you'll require after 300 - 400kw?), I find the stock 1 pretty soft and nice actually. FC really depends on how much you can control your right foot... it varies significantly.

Lol he should go buy that is that the silver one? either way its a gtr and ubber rare being a tk edition!! Edited by GODZ1LLA

R33 GTR is a better car, better value for money... but uglier

R34 GTT is still a very good car...

By your original post your getting a loan... DO NOT BUY A GTR unless you have enough money to double the asking price for maintenance and repairs!!!

Go the R33 GTR, imo they look way better than any 34, especially with 18in BBS and lowering, just looks so tougher. oh and they are way faster, probably a downside in your case because it converts into more fuel consumption. but if you earn enough who cares.

Thats only if you bought a lemon. If so, the same applies to the GTT too.

Since my ownership, I have spend less than 1.5k on servicing. Thats including the 1k aircon fitting I've got.

Doesnt matter which one you end up getting, just make sure you're getting one thats of high quality.

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
