Hi Guys,

In the past few months i have sold my TT Supra due to buying a house. Since that time i have scraped up enough funds (about 30 - 35k) and am looking at buying either the R33 GTR ot the R34 GTT. I have not driven either.

I like the look of the GTT but am not sure about the power. Should i just go with the GTR. I want looks but i need power.

If i had the $$$ i would deff buy a R34gtr.

HELP

Brenton

sadly very suseptable to ricers with gtst's and seem

you callin all us ricers :) j/ks

but yea i would get an r34 gt-t especially if you are buying a house as maintenance on a GTR will cost alot more. personal preference

ps your post does only say 30 - 30k so i dont know why you sar saying "as it states 30 - 35k ???

Does it matter ... it's only 5k .... not like he's saying I have between 10 and 40k so I'm looking at either a Silvia or a Supra TT Aero top !!!

I reckon of the two go an R33 GTR. Lots of power and the GTRs look great with the pumped guards and tough stance.

Try and get a Midnight purple one ...... mmmmm ........ :wassup:

You wont get a decent R33 GTR for $30-$35, though some "experts" will try and convince you otherwise.

If you want the GTR I would set yourself a budget of at least $40k, otherwise go for the GTT. While the GTR has obvious advantages, the GTT is still an excellent car.

Youll get a descent stock 95 R33 GTR for $35,000 if you look around (non vspec)

But seeing you havent driven either, ide suggest for the next few months do some serious test driving of a number of different ones, while learning as much about them on here as possible.

I wouldnt be spending more than 10K on any car unless i knew it very well.

hahah, lets not go there again :D

i've never driven any Skyline in my life, but i went out and bought a R34 GT-T. I think well know a R33 GTR and R34 GT-T are going to be great cars. But with the price you're looking at i wouldn't bother with a GTR. It would HAVE to be 1995, done a lot of k's and condition will be dodge.

$35k on the other hand will get you a very nice 1998/1999 R34 GT-T, good condition, and maybe a few basic goodies. I think the point raised about maintenance costs is very valid as well. There are a lot of 2 x parts for the GTR engine :D Also a little more expensive.

Go R34 GT-T, not really biased as i haven't driven my car and haven't driven a 33 GTR either :D

cheers.

r34 gtt and r33gtr wont have a large (but will be noticeable) difference in performance. (im talking absolutely standard)

if you modify the gtr will chop the gtt in most cases :D

how much money do you expect to spend on maintenance?

if the answer is not much get the gtt, because the gtr will cost lots to fix if things go wrong (also more chance of going wrong, and more things to go wrong!)

also insurance is more expensive for a gtr depending on how old you are the difference may change.

if you do more "spirited driving" i am sure you would enjoy the gtr more :D

I'd go the R34 GT-T over the R33 GTR any day (Well, actually, I did :rant:).

1. R34 looks better

2. R34 is newer

3. R34 is rarer

4. R34 is better value

5. Stock R34 GT-T has same power as stock R34 GTR (well - at least on paper) and you can still get plenty more out of it. R34's also have VVT

Of course the pluses for the GTR

1. Well - it's a GTR :rant:

2. More torque

3. More mod potential

4. AWD

LW.

Considered an R32 GTR plus a runaround sh1tbox?

For your budget, you could afford a nice GTR that's already had a rebuilt motor, brakes replaced etc plus you have a car that you can leave in the pub car park on a Friday night without stressing. Also enables you to do mods/maintenance without affecting your transport reliability.

It's up to you but it works for me!

I actually think the R33 GTR look better and more modern.

R34 GT-ts will become very common in the near future.

    • 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.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
