I just got a 33.. but because performance. The chassis is better than all the other skylines. the R33 GTR is actually the fastest skyline around the ring.. by 21 secs from R32.. and 28 secs from R34.. 
 


R33 gtr 28 seconds faster around the ring than an R34? Where did you get this information from that doesn't sound right.

From the track books? R34 GTR Nur edition ran 8:28 seconds around the ring.. the R32 ran 8:21 secs. The standard are R33 ran 8:01 while the Vspec model ran 7:59 (29 seconds faster). First R35 ran 7:43 with all that new technology, better tyres, double the power just about and 10 years development from the last 33.. Pretty poor effort. 33 remains fastest skyline around the ring and currently holds the fastest drag record too of 7.10 sec 1/4 from a gtst haha

Just seems strange the R34 GTR isn't faster or at least the same as the R33 around the ring. You would think they are nearly identical with the R34 being slightly improved. But yeah after some quick googling the times you posted are right, but i still reckon that the R33 must have had different tyres, running more boost or better driver. 29 seconds is a huge gap.

The r33 was raced.. the r34 was literally a playstation car. Massive improvements made of the 32 because it was still heavily into motorsport whereas the r34 was not. Wasnt at lemans and the only place it did see the track was JGTC.. where it wasnt really a gtr anyway.. I guess they didnt see it needed improvements. As for tyres, they were on OEM tyres and newer tyres just keep getting better and better so the R34 wouldve had better tyres. As i was saying, ill never understand the price tag on the shittest GTR ever built..

Looks play a big part, but the R34 isn't that big of an upgrade, besides maybe aero. R33 is miles ahead of R32 though.

Going slower isnt an upgrade at all. Its a downgrade. The R34 is a literal downgrade to a 33. 

 

But Paul walker, F&F cult hero status is probably the best answer to why its so expensive.

I'd argue that there is more to cars than how fast they go. I don't think anyone will disagree when I say the 34 interior is miles better than the 33.

And yeah, fast and the furious has a lot to answer for now I can't afford a Supra and a GTR!!!

      Shift Performance Ganador Reps

      By Lmic · Posted

      Came across these Ganador reps and am wondering if anyone has used these/come across these ?  Seem to look like reasonably good replicas (shape wise) from what I can see. Ive been told by them that they are moulded to be exact copies of original Ganadors (but thats what every replica version will say) https://www.shiftperformance.com.au/ganador-style-mirrors-suits-nissan-skyline-r33-gtr Photos of them installed appreciated Thanks 👍

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      lol, yeah, and how gutted I am now I’m back over in Europe (actual Europe) and dealing with the nightmare of U.K.-Continental Europe bureaucracy.   Anyway, arrived in NL early January with the BMW, whilst the Skyline followed suit about a week later. Both cars ended up stuck with their relative importers for about six weeks. Since then, I made a trip to the Nurburgring with a friend and have since ditched the Skyline in the garage. This week, I finally managed to find a suitable shop to do an alignment so hopped on over to Germany to fix the miserable mess the local Netherlands shop conducted; the car was just not aggressive enough in the rear for my driving style - I found myself understeering a fair bit at the ring which was really a first for me with this car. Mis-matched F&R tyres can be held partly responsible - have now moved to F+R NS2Rs. One thing I’ve noticed is the 180kph limiter just does not cut it here. I quickly hit that (for the first time) in Germany on the autobahn. Japanese circuits are small - at least the ones that were near me. I rarely spent much time in 4th. After much deliberation with the HKS SLD, I have ordered Nistune from Matt. Whilst the Skyline has been gathering dust I got to learning the highly neglected BMW I bought in the U.K. was in fact just that, highly neglected. Took the ol’ dog down to Switzerland last weekend with a progressively deteriorating front end. It went from vibration during braking at highway speed on the way down, to vibrating non-stop on the way back. I’ve already fixed numerous engine issues - low oil pressure, f**ked injectors, incorrect coils and plugs, electric water pump. Still to do is a suspension and brake overhaul, rear subframe replacement and likely more ageing engine electrical components. But I must say, I love it. After so long with the Skyline, I really didn’t know cars could be so comfortable.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Thanks. I adjusted my soft cut to 7600rpm and if I see I'm still making power there, I'll consider readjusting to possibly 7800rpm while on the dyno.

      R34 GTT Wiring Harness Similarities

      By LjB123 · Posted

      Yeah not sure. I sourced another relay no problem, its definitely a relay according to Nissan parts, they used those specific relays on a bunch if cars around that time, but my two options are, find a behind dash wiring loom which is proving difficult, or get the current loom fixed up by the shop when they put my rebuilt engine back in, they are confident in their auto electrical abilities. Thing is my current loom has anti-theft stuff and GPS immobilisers wired into it so easiest option may be to just fix the current one to save ripping apart the immobiliser.

      Asking where to source parts

      By winc · Posted

      Took it apart to get to the bearing found out i was wrong the bearing was pressed on to the diff side and the part i removed only had the bearing side, checked the bearing all looked fine took the shaft end to a shop and they recon it was movement from back and forth that made the marks and not rumbling about, so i just changed the seal and put it all back again.
