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:

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
