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)

Hi, do you know if there is any skyline specialist wksp's in sydney pref Liverpool area?

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

      ER34 AT ECU and HKS SLD pins

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      I say this and there’s a Nistune r34 GTT MT ECU for sale on eBay.de but I need to figure out compatibility between the AT harness and MT ECU - TCS considered. I figure this HKS SLD is a quick bandaid anyhow.

      It’s a high priority but I can’t get a Nistune in before my next Nurburgring trip. 180 is pretty easy to hit on the back straight of the GP course. I should have got the Nistune installed in Japan - my friend offered to solder the board - but I had the same problem of just not wanting any downtime for the car. My guess is this winter when I rebuild the rear subframe  (which is what I said back in 2022)

      To add to that very useful summary, even in the race/rally r32 gtr I have good quality, new(ish) poly bushes everywhere because that is what rules require, and the handling is excellent. Of course, the car doesn't do many klm but I'd still expect poly bushes to last better in road use than sphericals (especially as I have a couple of klm of dirt road to stuff sphericals up) I would change the front upper arms to spherical if I was allowed to, because the poly bushes flog out often, but otherwise new bushes (and ball joints) and a good alignment can make a world of difference

      Any chance you can get a Nistune board installed instead and set the speed limit to whatever your tires can handle?

      ER34 AT ECU and HKS SLD pins

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf
