Hi everyone, :action-smiley-069:I just joined the forum. (I hope i posted this in the right area.)

So, my dad and I are looking into a buying a R34 Skyline sedan. (Dream car) It will be our family second car, and a semi-project car, to do a few mods on, quality time with dad. (thinking about buying from edward lees), and we were told that we get either a manual AWD or RWD. My question is for a NA car, (so i can drive it l's) which would be better, the AWD or the RWD. (Please give a reason why you think either one is better). Also for the AWD, is it like the GTR Attessa, or is it permeant AWD. And please correct me if im wrong, but the AWD version is the GT-Four and the RWD version is Gt, GT-V.

Any other information about either cars will be appreciated.

Thankyou

Josh

Its going to come down to what you will want out of the car later on down the track.

Non turbo versions are a bit boaty and sluggish.

The above link gives you all the info you need on the differences in model types.

25GT - Non turbo model with non turbo options.

25GT - Non turbo model with turbo options.

25GT-FOUR - AWD variant.

Good luck, I've fallen in love with the R34 but would very much rather a turbo version.

If it were me - I'd go for a GT-FOUR, stick out your L's/P's and when ready, drop in a Stagea NEO 25DET. Quality project, low difficulty, and you'll get to know a lot more about the car piecing it all together.

You could always go 26 if you're more adventurous :devil:

Go the GT-FOUR. They're all non turbo, so it's good for your L's/P's and then gives you room to modify and learn while you're at it.

The AWD system is and works the same as the GT-Rs, although the GT-R may have different diff ratio's (I know this is the case with R32s).

Keep in mind that AWDs are heavier than their RWD variants, and that the GT-FOUR will have the same running costs as a GT-R (extra diff, transfer case, etc) without the GT-R performance, so you're inclined to get onto the performance mods/engine swap as soon as you can :P

4-door R34 GT-FOUR with RB26DETT, wolf in sheep's clothes.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
