ill have roughly 35k to buy another car. I was just wondering what your opinions are on purchasing either a 33 GTR or and 34 GTT.

i currently have a s2 r33 slighly modified. i would assume that if i but a GTR i wouldnt need to modify it, whereas buying a 34gtt would be pretty stock. plus the disadvantage of not going sideways or drifting in the gtr

Tough call that one. Everyones got their preferences and as far as looks are concerned that's something you've got to decide for yourself.

On "paper" both the R33 GTR and the R34 GTT put out the same power, so there's not a lot between them in the power department.

Most people are gonna say go the GTR because, well - it's a GTR! :(

With the GTR's you'll get what is considered a stronger engine, plus the ATTESSA torque split system. You'll also be getting an older car, with higher KM's and an older design. Personally I like the feel of the R34's - they seem much smaller than the R33 series, particularly inside. R34's have the more modern interior and the updated RB engines with improved torque output over earlier RB's. Handling, well my R34 handles pretty well but I've never driven an R33 GTR at speed so I can't really compare. Both cars have HICAS, LSD's, sway bars etc and both have 17inch alloys as standard.

If drifting is what you're wanting to do, then perhaps the RWD GTT would be the wiser choice.

Probably the best advice is to test drive both and see what you think! :)

Go the GTR, GTR's hold their value, $35k will get you a good one. Youll be able to resell it for what you paid for it. Plus GTRs are the ducks guts of all cars and what all GTS, GTT etc drivers dream of.

Plus power... stock GTR eats GTT's.

Plus Grip

Plus the 11 inches of front and rear rubber (265/40/17 fit on stock wheels)

Plus watching the tail hang out at will on a skid pan and then gathering it in by pressing the loud pedal

Plus street cred as in.. "What kinda *line* ya got" "OHHH so you dont have a GTR"

(Flame proof suit on)

^^^^^ hehe I knew you guys would say that ^^^^^

:(:)

They're right though. The GTR has the street cred and the instant respect that the GTT lacks. Re-sale is always going to be better for the GTR. The GTT is an absolutely fantastic car in every way, but the GTR is better. I'd be happy to own either.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
