Hello All

As my previous thread mentioned, I'm looking to buy a skyline, preferably the R33 GTR but I've found a very nice R34 GT-T.

R33 GTR:

Stock Standard

R34 GT-T:

Nissan ER34 GT-T Single Turbo 2.5L with minor modifications as below :

[Wheels] Rays Wheels : Nismo LM-GT2 [Tire] Toyo : Transas Cruz 17x8 , 225/45/17 Front; 17x9, 255/40/17 Back

Engine Modifications: Turbosmart Boost Controller C's Short Shifter Apexi Pod filter Custom 3" Dump Pipe Custom 3" Front Pipe High Flow Cat (3") Xforce 4.5" Stainless Steel Muffler

Suspension: Lowered springs

Interior: Momo Gear Knob Blitz FATT Turbo Timer

Stereo: Sony Xplod Head Unit Sony Xplod 6 Disc Changer CDXT69X JBL 3 Way Speaker

Exterior: C-West Front Bar C-West Side Skirts C-West Rear Pods C-West Rear Bar R34 GTR Rear Wing Alarm : Autowatch Blue Series

How much I can expect to pay for insurance with the R34 Gt-T. The GTR is gonna cost me 3K. Will the GT-T be much cheaper?

Also obviously the GTR will be faster. Will the above mentioned GT-T still be fast? i.e. will it still blow away your average hoon cars?

Feedback will be greatly appreciated! I gotta make a decision really soon and go for it!

PS: Even though no one really helped, thanks to all for the advice on the GTR insurance!

I'm torn between beauty (R34 GTT) and Brawn (R33 GTR)..

Although apparently the above GTT will be pretty quick... but how quick?

If i'm going to spend the $ I wanna know whats the best deal.. they're both roughly the same price..

Also INSURANCE?! If i got quoted 3k for the GTR what will the GTT cost me?

im asking coz i was gonna pretend i got a cheap quote somewhere else when i asked for a quote!

i've heard some dodgy stories about insurance companies quoating different $ all the time and even lower if you say you got a cheaper quote elsewhere!

cerealkiller.. you didnt answer the first question.. R33 GTR or R34 GTT?!

Call and find out? If you list all the mods don't expect it to be much cheaper than the GTR if at all..

The GTT is nice, its newer, and isn't as common as an R33 Shape..

Down here in melbourne, i see around the same R33 GTR's and R34 GTT, but most people can't tell the difference between 33gtr and gtst so they just say they are common.

Both are sexy, the GTR has more power and more potential, the GTT is newer and has a different look (i love the r34 look/shape but most of my non skyline friends see r34's and they like my car much better for some reason)

aaarrrrggghhhhhhhh

yeh R33s are so common... but R33GTRs arent common.. but most knobs cant tell the difference.. until you blow em away..

if i dont list the mods that means my insurance will be null if i make a claim right?!

not listing your mods is stupid...and they can null your policy...

and to answer your question. R32 GTR :cool: (sorry I think R33's look overweight...R34's look like they're been working out and have turned the extra weight into muscle :P)

GTT's look docile unless they've been kitted.

Dude... they are both very fast cars. People's perspective on here is totally warped because a few people have eleventy billion rwkW cars. Unless you are into drags, dyno comps or Nullarbor top speed runs they both have more than you will ever really need. Personally I would choose the R33, mainly because of the interior room and also resale.

GTR is low 5sec 0-100, the GT-T is flat 6 secs or there abouts. But with those mods as well, might be getting mid-high 0 -100km/h. Some people think that the GT-T feels faster as it has a quite responsive turbo, therefore a little more user friendly compared to the GTR's relatively laggier turbos. So unless you're really winding the car out at the track, the GT-T may even feel faster around the streets. It's about 150kg lighter too.

If i had to choose? Well i've bought a GT-T, so that aside :cool:, if i was focusing on track work, GTR. But if it's mainly a daily driver, with a little track time, GT-T.

cheers.

yeh GTR do have better re-sale i guess..

It is more that the GTR, being older has done more of its depreciating.

The R34 will probably never drop like the R33 GTS, but it will drop.

bah

decisions decisions

its like 50/50 on which car!?!

It may sound stupid, but when faced with a 50:50 decision I will flip a coin.

You just have to stick with the verdict of the first flip!

hey reignman82,

I know which R34GTT you are talking about and its a nice car. The C-west looks awesome on it.

R33's are too common and as SS8_Gohan said, decide on what you are gonna do with the car. Having a R34, i would recommend the R34.

Good luck with your choice.

:cool:

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
