Hi guys just need some advice.

I used to own a R33 GTS-4 (non turbo) loved it but just got over it and changed to a diffrent car.

Now about to get off my Ps and want to go back to the skyline.

So my common question is R33 GTR or a R34 GTT?

Also does the GTR cost more to maintain as it is the premium car? sorta like a clubsport compared to an SS with maintenance costs?

What sort of power am i looking at with a R33GTR + 5k worth of mods? as apposed to R34 GTT + 5K of mods?

Any advice and comments would be great!

Thanks.

GTR is and always will be better than a GTT, Im kicking myself that I got a R33 GTS-T when in hindsight I should have got a R32 GTR, The 33 has cost me about 35k so far and I wont get rid of it yet as Ive invested to much and if I was to sell it its just another 33 which costs around 10_15k.

A very good R33 GTR can be had for <30k, Not sure on 34GTTs as Im not interested in them.

And yes Im still thinking about a R32 GTR to drive on the streets.

they both cost the same to service .

what do you want to do with your car?

do you want a 34 with big fag nuts wheels and gay interior and that shit to roll round the streets with the mad blow off noises or do you want a gtr to do track days in ?

find a really good nearly stock GTR R32 , but it really depends if you want a semi modern interior get the R34 gtt the R33, 32 is lame but the GTR performance will crush a R34 GTT, if i could have sex with mine i would , bought mine for 25k and spent another 8k changing timing belt , steel turbos to replace ceramic , 1 expensive knock sensor (biatch) ,replaced ALL suspension bushes , HKS exhaust to replace stock , track tyres and other little general things now its a solid unit , im gettin horny just talkin about it .

Agree with Mark.

Think of it this way...

If you buy an R33 GT-R and run it like an R34 GT-T, it won't cost any more to maintain than a GT-T.

If you upgrade, then it can be a different story. Talk to Satanic if you're thinking of a GT-T and want to upgrade good and proper.

The secret is to buy a great one in the first place. Preferably a GT-R.

At inspection, bring along your brains trust; with each person having a checklist.

At the other end of your time spectrum, the GT-R can reward you with less depreciation.

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
