Hey Guys

The time has come! I finally have enough funds to buy what I've always wanted - a GTR.

Was going to put in a high flow turbo down the track etc but Ive decided Im going to give my brother the gtst as he gets of his p's soon and Im going to get either a 33 or 34 gtr

Question is , which one?

I know for a fact a 34 is better but also twice as expensive.

I can easily afford a good condition 33gtr now (selling for around $25k) but I was wondering whether I should save up for another 7 months or so and get a 34 instead.

I've driven a 33GTR and loved it but have never driven a 34GTR before.

Is it worth being twice as much?

Thoughts? Opinions?

Thanks in advance

Cheers

PS: Merry xmas!

It kinda comes down to which one you like more,

If you like the 34s twice as much, then it's probably worth it.

34 hands Down

33 nice for the price still but 34 is more refined and a panty dropper haha

This.

That's why these questions are useless.

What do you want?

i want a 34gtr , but they are really expensive and wanted to know if its THAT much better then the 33 to justify spending twice as much. ive driven a 33gtr but havnt been in or driven a 34gtr before so im not able to judge

You only just got the GTST I thought?

Anyway, 33>everything.

no got the gtst about 6 months ago ,just finished fitting intercooler and boost controller. going to put in a fuel pump and possibly tune and then give it to my bro whose almost of his p's

if im gonna wait to save up for the 34 then il keep the gtst until i get that or if im getting the 33gtr then il give it to my bro straight away.

hmm thanks for the responses guys

ive always LOVED the 34gtr but twice as much as the 33...? i dont know.

wont go with a 32 as they are a bit to old now and im planning on keeping my next car for a long long time.

If a 34 is what you want then just save and get one.

If you plan on keeping it for a long time then the r33 will be as old as the r32's you are currently thinking are too old in a shorter time than the r34.

As barney says...."new is always better"

this thread is absolutely stupid

Ah... Should see what he's doing on boostcrusing

Op stick with ur GTS-T upgrade turbo and stuff maybe manual conversion if p-platers are shaming you lol.

If you love Gtr's you best leave it until you can do it 100% right. Well thats what I reckon

      @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s

      It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
