Im glad I bit the bullet and went with a 32GTR....34 GTT did come into my mind for a split second but I knew I would regret it hard....they look boring in stock form i reckon.

I wouldn't waste my time with carsales again for a JDM 32 GTR, I searched for over a year on carsales etc and only 1 clean one came up with in that time that I wanted but sold in 1 week.

I then had an import dealer find me the cleanest one possible which still took months but was worth it.

If you dont go the GTR route you'll just regret it and keep wishing you had gone for the GTR. :nyaanyaa:

As I can't be bothered reading through all this crap...is the car still available?

I have 2 STi's, but a Skyline might be nice too to drive to the milkbar and back

Above was from Mike, on a GTR sale thread.

Not exactly sure how much of a brother you really are Mike. :)

I personally would go the r34 (as well that is what i have done in reality) but the main things that put me towards the r34 is i don't want an ancient old car (even though mine is still 9 years old) plus i can't stand the old interiors. R32 interiors were as bad as the s13's and man that was crap

There was one point in time where I had to choose between an R34 GT-T and an R32GTR.

Drove the R34 around for a bit but it just doesn't compare to the R32. Sure the R34 is newer, but if you buy a clean and well maintained R32, you'll have years of driving fun !

i bought an r34gtt primarily because i cant stand the ancient r32gtr interior, and was also concerned about their age. driving the 34 and a mates 32gtr is a completely different experience, however i cant wait to get back into the 34 after being in his car, and there isnt really that much real-world differenece in performance between the two, besides the 32 having more modding potential, but if like you say, you plan to have it as a daily, the 34 is better in almost every way.

if i was you, id use your stock sti as a daily, the 34 gtt feels archaic in comparison to my 05 wrx, uses more fuel, and is probably slower though i cant confirm this as i havent had the chance to track it yet. but you do get a special feeling in the skyline.

also, after driving awd, be carefull in a gtt, they loose traction at a whiff of throttle in the wet, and are way to easy to slip in the dry too.

have fun.

If your not going to buy R34 GTT instead of a GTR R32 simply dont bother buying a skyline at all

The reason I got rid of my R32gtr was that it looks like an 80s car, times have changed and whilst it was an awesome car to own I felt I need to move on to something more modern as the daily drive.

Got a 350gt for daily drive and an R33 for project/track use which I feel is a good comprimise, I test drove a couple of R34s and they are a lovely car...

I guess utimetely if you are buying as a daily drive you'll want something with is comfortable, a better return on the mpg..etc

LOL!!! That's some funny shit right there! Define "real-world" for us???

Go the 32R dude, the interior is fine and the seats are way more supportive (although they are a bitch on a long 4hr+ drive), LOTS more parts available for an R than a 34 GTT too

The BEST buy in the Skyline market at the moment are R33 GTRs, Check http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...ec-t309417.html for the difference between a $22,000 R32 and a $25,000 R33... The add a Power FC, Cams, Cam gears, intercooler, Bilsteins and a 3 years newer car the R33 side of things.. They are a steal, I know you did not need another GTR post, but I have the 32 in those pics, and the ONLY reasons I went a 32 was because I wanted an R32 V-specII specifically, and because I have daily drive. Day to day, R33 GTR or a later GTT hands down

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      R34 Plug Identification

      By Duncan · Posted

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
