Comes down to preference for looks

They are much the same besides 33 being older / likely to have done more km and the NEO engine in the 34

33 probably better for modifying, 34 (slightly) better for reliability

Had both.

34 are better cos two cup holders, they're handy as - that being said I'm an idiot for giving it up for 33 gtr.

Cup holders aside, neo motor is pretty good little motor - people reckon neo head flow more than rb26 head. And VCT too.

Both are magical to drive and I'm sure they're still magical to drive nowadays - damn I want another one.

I think alot of fellow SAU members would be in the boat of "I've driven both" and can provide their 2c.

It's personal taste more than anything else, yes they both have their differences but I would say in the end it comes down to two things:

1/ Cosmetic preferences - Do you prefer the curves of the R33 or the 'designed with a straight edge' R34?

2/ Resale value- Will the R33 start to claw back some of its value if kept tidy. I would argue that the GTT has now overtaken the r33 as the new jap commonwhore- atleast where I live.

Why not

Because having two turbos doesn't automatically make the car better or faster by any means, just complicates the setup. For a car that was originally single turbo you are better off just upgrading that turbo and ending up with the same result as if you went twin.

I recommend doing some reading on turbochargers and the various setups as it's not only interesting stuff but will help you to understand what works well and what doesn't.

This thread is clearly a trainwreck from the start

The 34 is objectively a superior car in every way. Noone has ever put a R33 RB25 in a R34, plenty of people have put Neos into other things. They're a better motor.

My thoughts are always, go and try both. You'll never know which you prefer from asking in this instance. Both are good and bad, have a drive of each and you'll know which you prefer. Cars are subjective and just because I like a car doesn't mean you will.
Have a go, it's more fun and you can then say you've driven both!

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
