I'll go against the trend: GT-T if its a daily driver

A lot of people with GTR end up shelling out a lot more to fix problems, plus increased insurance costs and increased petrol costs. I wouldn't want to drive a GTR everyday, you'd be worried some dick will scratch it, key it, steal it, etc.

that's one vote at least for the GTT :(

Predator has a valid point. I wouldn't want to use a GTR for a daily driver, especially if it involved parking in crowded car parks, outside shopping malls and the like. There's no denying the GTR is the better car, but the GTT shouldn't be overlooked either...

Yeah...for that price I imagine you'd get a mint R32 GTR and probably have enough change to get a POS runabout for day to day, shopping trips and the like...

or spend it on mods...:(

:jump:

yep r32 gtr and then a shit box for daily driver. best of both worlds. you could pick up a shit box vl turbo for like 5k and a good a shit hot r32 gtr and probably have some change still.

then slowly mod the r32 bit by bit

r34 gt-t won't be a huge jump from your series 2 r33 gts25t, newer car, looks different, nice interior etc, but wont perform much differently. go the gtr :( my mate drives a 34 gt-t and keeps telling me he would like to get a 33 gtr.

I just sold off my R34 GTT and now i am seriously looking forward for an GTR, i mean any GTR.... dont be like me.... i think most of people here know i have an R34 GTT before. What i mean is that A GTR mean GTR ....

i dont think anyone understand this guy :D AND WHERES THAT GOD DAMN EMOTICON WITH THE BLUE HEADSCRATCHING GUY@!#@!#^!!

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
