Mods...both

Performance...GT-t mainly cause engine will be newer lol

Handelling...not sure

General performance...not much in it lol stock wise

Im selling up at the end of year to buy a 34, 33's are nice but they are getting old man. and they are as common as dog shit now

34 stockies go for low 30's...

33's range from shit ones...mid 10's to nice stockies high 10's and reasonably modded low 20's depending on whats on it

From being in both type of cars. Depends how much money you want to spend. In those budgets I would only consider a "late" series 2 in the r33 gtst range at a minimum if you wanted a r33 otherwise I would say get a r34 gtt all the features, added options, cosmetic looks, performance etc all add up to the price of the R34 gtt and is worth every penny.

My 2 cents. Rob

BTW Your the one who will be sitting in the car most of the time (unless someone else uses it) try a seat in each car and which one your are more comfortable with.

I looked at both when buying my skyline and the 34 is definitely worth the extra price.

Whilst fundamentally the same, the extra refinement and newer age are a big plus. And also as previously mentioned 33s are getting very common, whilst there are a few 34s out there, nowhere near as many.

the neo motor has solid lifters and it's factory power rating is higher than the 33.

the only bad thing is 2nd hand parts is hard to come by with things such as suspension parts, body parts, interior dress up stuff etc...

but i thought it wasn't as easy to tune and doesn't take mods as well

I think I will end up saving for a R34, the do produce a nice torque band stock and are modify-able.. Just a little more pricey at the moment, but I'm sure they'll go down as time goes on, I'd love to do one like the one in your avatar torreto, or perhaps a black one..

33 -> cheap, everywhere

34 -> newer, better and more torque engine, cool styling (at least in my opinion anyway), not as common as 33s, nice dash, more boot space and also more backseat room :D The only downside is the price.

Ultimately the choice is yours, I have test driven a few 33s (modified and unmodified) and a few 34s. At the end the 34 is what I did purchased, I would go so far as to say that the 34s can be used for a family car quite nicely. :(

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • 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.
