hey just wondering what u guys think would be better for me... i know its hard to say coz its depends on what i want...

i just sold my 93 r33 gtst which was lightly modified just had a full zorst, pod fmic and boost and got a 13.6.

in my next skyline im lookin for something faster mid 12's or even a 11 later on.

i know it would be easy in a 33 gtr but how do 34 gtt's go compared too 33 gtst...

what would it take in mods to get a 34 gtt in mid 12's down the 1/4 mile.

i know with a gtr all ull need is zorst,pods boost and a good clutch

any help would be great... coz i just wnat the power but dont wanan be stuck with the 33 shape again

GTT is the same as your Gtst ( with a little better engine)... so how hard do you think it would of been to get your gtst into the 12/11s?

12's i'm sure you could do, 11's is a big step ... much easier to get to in a GTR... Its up to you

its such a hard decision for me to make... coz i know if i get a 33 gtr it would be easy 12's, ferni - what mods have u got and what times have u got?

but i just wanna know what do u thikn ud need to get a 34 gtt into the mid 12's?

for power gtr will always be better but im into more as 12 sec street car not a 10-11sec drag car...i greatly appreiciate all the help choosing...

also whats the price diff.. lets say 96 s2vspec gtr vs 99 manual turbo gtt??

A little better engine is a bit of an understatement! Much better engine, plus better turbo, better steering, better suspension, better interior, ....

BUT, if you really do want fast times, I suspect to the probelm will be the rear wheel drive - my 255/45 tires will just spin if I'm not to carefull. So while the 4 wheel drive system gives you extra weight, it also gives you extra traction!

']well if you want a gtr minus the r33 shape and you cant afford the r34 gtr, get a cheapish r32 gtr and then do that up. you will have left over change to DMS it up! haha

You think like me. LoL

I just don't like the 33 shape, that's why I got the latest model R32 GTR possible, well it wasnt 'cheapish.'

I would probably go the 33GTR at the end of the day. Remember a GTT is newer but in the end its just an update of a car you already had. You would get used to drving it becasue it would have similar characteristics as the previous model 33 it would become predictable in drviving. And yes I have driven a 98 GTT it was different in looks wise but everything feeled similar just more refined. If you bought a GTR it would be like having a totally new car even though its a 33 because you would have to learn its limits as it would be a totally different drving experience.

Yeah i made the same choice when i bough my GTR, i went for the 33GTR instead of GTT and i don't regret it. personal choice tho.

I have exaust, cam gears and run about 1bar boost, i run about 270rwkw and the one time i did go to the drag strip i ran 12.4... traction was bad on the day, i recon i could knock another couple of 1/10ths off with a better day... but my car is daily driven, and i take it to the track (circuit) a few times a year..

To get a 34GTT into the mid 12's? not sure ask someone whos done it, i don't know of any GTT's in the mid 12s :D for a 33GTR you're probbaly looking 30-50k, GTT not sure guessing around 30-35k?

Spending 40k on a car is a lot of money - you should go check out both GTT and GTR in the flesh and drive both if you can before spending your hard earned $.

yeh its a hard decsion, im purchaseing after winter so ill be test driving a few gtt's and gtr's, thanx for all the replies guys, ive thought about r32 gtr but i just cant see myself degrading to an older car im into more newer cars.

if i had to get a gtr it had to be s2 vspec or nothing..

would there be much differnce in insurence? how bout maintence is gtr alot more to maintain?

thanx again

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
