Hey Guys

I am new to this site and my knowledge for skylines only go so far so your help and advice would be much appreciated. I have an option of buying a 1993 R32 GT-R or a 2000 R34 GT-T, they are around the same price. I was just wondering with reason as to why people would take one over the other? If you could list pros and cons that would be great.

Thanks heaps in advance.

try searching SAU

or

in Google type

site:skylinesaustralia.com "what you want to search"

basically R32 GTR is a cult Car as all GTR's

but they are getting very old and can be very very expensive to maintain, specially if you dont know what your looking for

R34 GTT are pretty new and hence will be more modern and Newer, most states you can not own either car with a P plate.

both can be modified and are anyway pretty fast even stock...

GTR will always have lot more following and respect than the its single Turbo RWD brother

How many kms on the R32 GT-R odo Vernon?

If low, do the seats, carpet, key barrel, bodywork, suspension, bushes, engine, gear changes, dashboard reflect that?

No rust?

Services all done?

Any damage or major repairs?

Taken it to a Skyline specialist workshop for a good lookover for $125 approx?

If all the above is good > GO THE GT-R and come to the Event below!!!

On the other hand, the R34 GT-T is a good step up to the top. No sweat!

Pros of the GT-R

* power to the tarmac is more predictable

* better cornering

* higher speed on sweepers

* can brake later and accelerate earlier through a corner

* overall dynamics

* later models had upgraded brakes - but not sure about 1993

Cons of the R32 GT-R

* if it's old, it has seen better days

* lack of history means a suspect car

when asking the question of "r32 gtr or r34 gt-t" you have to ignore all the fanbois who just blindly say "go the GTR" and ask yourself what you want from the car. if it is going to be driven daily and you just want something with a bit of get up and go, then go the r34. if you want something to drive on the weekend but not on a daily basis, then go the gtr.

speed on straights. they're about the same. raced a friends gtt the other week. he beat me just. i say each to his own. im a nissan nut so i bought the gtr. if ur looking for a skyline just for looks and streetability, go the 34. i get about 3-400km's per tank. and with the coilovers its a rough ride. but i do like the attention i get for owning it. no cops yet (touch wood)

First up, I don't trust anyone around Lansvale.

Best to use someone who doesn't want to sell you extras and knows their RB engines

To inspect your prospective buy, call

* JapLink at Haberfield 02-9716.0857

* Tunehouse at Marrickville 02-9557.4000

* Just Jap at Kirrawee 02-9545.0532

      R32 Gtst - Track Car

      Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By PranK · Posted

      The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !
