Personally I would go the GT-R hence the reason why i have one.

But it isn't easy to find a good one these days. It took me almost a Year to find mine and I can tell you, good R33 GT-R's are rare from what I have seen.

Plus it costs money to get the GT-R's checked out (properly). It cost me $500 to check out 3 that I was interested in. 2 got bad reports.

The GT-T being newer I would say there are many more good examples to chose from.

I can't speak much about the GT-T but GT-R's are not easy to sell when it comes time to move on.

They are both rare but I do see more R34 GT-T's than R33 GT-R's in Victoria.

For yourself I would go the GT-T. Its cheaper to maintain, Insurance should be cheaper and it is a good reliable car plus it is big step up for yourself already. Maybe GT-R next?

There are many that rush into buying a GT-R and selling it soon after realising they cant afford to maintain it as it has the running costs of a 100k car. And if something goes wrong ... yikes (big bucks can be expected)

But for me I really wanted one and took the risk.

If you do decide to go GT-R let me know I might be able to help you with Insurance and tips to finding a good one.

All the best.

r34

its unique......its newer......its modded....its driftable.....umm....its unique

id rather a r34 gtt over a r33gtr anyday

im not saying the gtr is bad, its great, but there is too many r33's around. r34's are a unique and rare thing. people know about the r33 now. i almost prefer the gtt over at r34 gtr. more....subtle.

what colour are they? u got pics?

Abo Bob: thanks mate :rofl: wait till i get spacers for the wheels to make them fill the guards more, and i was going to get a trial rear bar, but seems no one makes copies for a GTR :)

As for fuel, i get around 300-350kms out of ~50L which i think is very resonable for the power i put out... I have got as little as 280 once, but as high as 400 other times...

Can the spacers, ferni, just sell the GTR rims to me and get a set of Nismo LM2s... you know you want them ;)

My 32 GTR is daily driven and (given that I've been keeping a log of L/100km) averages 17.5L/100km over 3 months. The only mod is a full turbo back exhaust. I am not soft on the right pedal either :(

How can there be such a question???? GTR any day.....You cannot go past GODZILLA....

When those twin turbos come onto boost and the engine roars and rushes towards 9000rpm with all paw grip, its a feeling many cars can't give...

my 97 GTR uses a full tank every 420kms ( normal city driving). My old 95 gtst used to use a tank to every 450kms (city driving also). Still comes down to the way you drive. Personally i would take a GTR over a gtst/gtt anyday. If you do end up getting a R33 GTR try and get a late model (97, 98), they have nicer seriesr front lights :(

I would get the GT-R (and I completely agree with Cereal's summary of the various designs :) ).

However, you say you don't want to spend more than $30k: that's not going to get you a great R33 GT-R (well, it may, but you will be lucky). With that in mind, go the GT-T.

LW.

Nothing wrong with R33 GTR, but go the R34 GTT!

The R34 has a great appeal on the road, and is a good package for the $$$$

I just got mine a few weeks ago, and am thrilled by its potential.

Try Just car insurance, im paying around $1000 per year for insurance,

this will depend on your age and driving history.

good luck ////

dude, trust me and go the GT-T, id rather an R34 over an R33 GTR any day, look better, more fuel economical, weigh less, and if youre not using it on the track eats 95 percent of cars on the road out there :D, dont look as common as the R33, i say this because are so many R33 GTST's around most people wont tell the difference between GTR and GTST.

Regards,

Evan

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
