R34GTT VS R33GTS25t pros and cons

[IneedaR33]

Just wanting to know peoples thoughts on these two models of skylines, as far as how modifiable they are and which is a better machine in general.. Any thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated as I'am a skyline newb

R34 Pros: Newer (more reliable i guess), looks better (debatable), has VVT (Neo).

R34 Cons: Fewer spare parts around, insurance possible more expensive, more expensive to purchase.

R33 Pros: Same engine sans VVT, in my eyes just as sexy (series 2 is anyway... S1 lacks that aggressive styling), alot more spare parts than R34, tidy simple function interior...

R33 Cons: Older so more prone to reliability issues, alot of them around if you're after that individuality factor....

The bottom line is price. GT-Ts are probably closer to $30,000 while GTS-ts are sub $20,000.

I've got some more points to consider. As if the r33gtst is not heavy enough, the r34 is much heavier. Although the engine puts out more power, the r34 gtt would be less agile in handling due to the weight.

Also, in regards to looks, the look is very personal. Personally, I like slightly squarer cars. That's why I picked the skyline over the supra. But personally (I'm not knocking anyone elses car, i'm just saying for me) I prefer the slightly rounder shap[e of the 33 over the 34.

less agile? Take one for a spin...they handle better than a 33

As your name says, you need an R33.

If I wanted a car that looked like a Camry I'd buy a Camry.

Personally, I would take the R34 if I had a spare 25Gs.

+ Newer

+ Faster

+ Looks better

The R34 is by far more agile than a R33. They have a far more agressive turn in and have the real feel of wanting to be thrown into every corner. The steering is much more responsive than a R33.

My two cents worth.

R34's were designed to be closer in concept to the R32. Smaller, sharper handling and more responsive (overall sportier) than the R33. You dont really notice the small increase in weight.

I went for R33 because its cheaper, can perform just as well as any R34 GT-t with a few mods and more room (esp headroom as I'm 6'4) inside.

Not as good a performer in stock form though.

PS R33 do have VVT, it just kicks in later on in the rev range relative to R34

PS Good luck getting an R34 GTT for 25g

You'd still be struggling for a decent auto at that price

[TMPTED]

you'd be strugling for any auto at that price.
