*R34 Turbo or R32 GTR*

[AlphA]

My question is what would you go for..

You can get a very nice 2000 model R34 in 4 door Turbo for just over $23'000 from http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/

*I have never imported but from looking at the saving you get would think about it.

Or a 1990 R32 GTR 5 speed for Under $20'000

The GTR is also from http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/

Insurance is no problem..

I think it comes down to the age of the car... a GTR is damn fast.. and a 1990 thats imported could have done alot of k's.. alot more than id care to know..

a R34 Turbo would be damn new and how much kw do they put out in stock form?

- Anyway..any help would be great as im buying in the next 3 months.

:kick:

R34 Turbo from mem have round the 205 kw at the fly.

I looked into using prestige myself. There is always extra costs.

If it says 23000 g then i would allow probably up to 26,000 to get it on the road and fix all the little things.

Sounds good but just realise there will be more costs then what the price they state.

anyway good luck

I myself would go for the 32 gtr. but i would be lookin at the more expensive ones. like 30k . means less u have to do to it later and the condition will be better.

go the 34

newer

nicer

4 doors for flexibility

still pretty quick and always responsive to mods

heaps cheaper in the long run

but id try to find one already complied here for piece of mind

It depends if you have the ability to fix things yourself and want a real performance car get the gtr, if you cant and just want something that goes ok and looks good get the 34.

[Soppagas]

4 doors are alot more pratical though. I had a 2 door r33 and it drove me insane. got me a r33 4 door now and love it Would have prefered the r34 cause they look better but came down to the fact that i didn't want to spend that much at the time.

[AlphA]

I thought so, its still a good deal importing, a GTR for just over 20k..

The R34 has a bit more power in stock form than I expected.. With a few mods it would do rather well..

4 Door R34 Turbo 5 speed in White.. thats my plan..

[RB20LagWagon]

though on paper the gtr and gtt have the same power, in real life, they dont, not even close.

[Soppagas]

way to go. If i had the money at the time i would have done the same. I am doing a manual conversion on mine straight after chrissy. If you want 4 wheel drive beast then gtr is the way.

4 doors are alot more pratical though. I had a 2 door r33 and it drove me insane.

Don't know about you, but I bought my car for ME, not for taxi'ing my mates around in the back

If they don't like it cramped then they can walk I say!

P.S. Go the 4door R34 - heaps newer, nicer, and can be pretty fast with the right mods too - not to mention the fact there aren't many around in perth at al!

[AlphA]

Its funny, I thought id go straight for the GTR but taking a step back and looking at it..

Its a R34... Its 5 speed its Turbo

The 4 doors must also be good for insurance.

[Soppagas]

Acutally i found no difference. but may depend on who u go through.

[32vspecII]

yea no real difference in the 4 door insurance

is this the one your looking at on prestige ?

cause its the only one I can find . if you want a different one budget a bit more for a manual . although the triptronic autos go quite well

[AlphA]

True its an Auto, I thought it was manual..

triptronic autos are ok, but thats going to make me hold off.. a true manual would be what im after.

Mind me asking how much you picked up your 95 GTST 4 door for arkon? Import or local?

[JXL]

dunno about auto cause from mem if auto dies its a shitload more to fix than manual.

really depends on what you are going for becuase the R34 would be a cruiser car and going for the look thing while the GTR is flat out balls strip weapon..

Generally heaps of the GTRs that are coming in for around the $20K mark are heavily modded saving you money if you want more power later.

I'd personally go the GTR for GTR's sake.

[Kaido_RR]

if u can afford the gtr, why would u buy a gt-t?

[noise]

because it looks better? and isnt a rust bucket?

[rev210]

because it looks better? and isnt a rust bucket?

personal taste. and rubbish.

[33Spec2]

an R32 is getting to be a very old car these days around 15 years old which means problems with alot of things

why go for something old when you can get something new youll save in the long run

my opinion

[32vspecII]

True its an Auto, I thought it was manual..

triptronic autos are ok, but thats going to make me hold off.. a true manual would be what im after.

14k from a dealer , freshly imported . it is also an auto but i budgeted a couple of grand extra for the manual conversion . you can easily get i nice 4dr r33 for 15k which makes them a bit of a bargain

[raasclaat]

opinion is right..I think the R32GTR is the best shape personally, and it has the performance to match.

As nice as a new 34GTT would be, i would be suckered into the R32 - there are clean examples of them able for import
