Do a search my friend there was a thread not long ago comapring the series one to series two R34's. Off the top of my head the R34 came out in 1998 and the series 2 came out in late 2000??? someone please correct me if im wrong.

The major differences between a GTT and GTR are 4WD bigger engine, extra turbo etc.

Series 1 came out in May/April '98 - The series 2 in Aug 2000

The difference's are mainly cosmetic (new front bar, darker wheels and GTR coloured interior) although the S2 has a little extra torque.

GTR wing - Adjustable and a little taller

GTT wing - Non adjustable sits lower with different tip design.

Hello All,

I have the same question as well. I am in the process of buying a GT-t from Japan (hopefully 2000 Series I or II) and have had some mixed responses from people when I have asked them how the car drives.

Haven taken one for a test drive I can say with some confidence that the acceleration of a GT-t is very similar to that of the old 185kW 5-litre V8's that Holden used to use before the 5.7-litre came along.

It does tend to come on boost a little later when compared to the R33 GTs but this is something you can get used to by either using the gearbox a little more intelligently or buying a good AM boost controller.

All in all its a good little car with exceptional value for money when you compare it to anything that is vaguely equivilant on the Australian market.

Umm i find that my stock R34 GT-t eats even brand new SS commodores. So i don't know how you'd think the old aussie made v8 is comparable to the rb25det neo engine. With the boost thing it's not bad really theres plenty of torque down low compared to the old non neo engines found in the r33's. So yeah. The comment about the power being like the old 5 litre engine though has left me dazzled.

Had mine for a year. Absolutely love it and very reliable. Used as a daily driver that sees about 50km a day. Basic mods and making ~200rwkw which I think is plenty for a daily driver. Haven't had a chance to run down the strip yet, but would like to soon.

Have only had some very minor issues and car has cost me less to run than my old liberty that liked to split cv boot seals every few months.

Minor issues so far:

*Blown park lights - Who cares when the replacement globes cost $1

* Climate control not working - Internal sensor was disconnected when stereo was fitted. Easy fix.

*Transmission went into safety cut out mode once - Not sure what caused this but it hasn't happened since.

For a manual like you specified you could pay anywhere from high 20s upto almost 40 depending on condition and mods. If you searched around you could probably find a very nice example in the lower range of that bracket.

Yeah that english.auto Website is pretty handy for a general guide to the auction prices. It even has some stats based on prices for diff colour choices etc....

But generally how much you pay is directly related to how many km a car has done. i.e. >80,000km and you are guaranteed a bargain

These two sites are archived from Nissan in Japan and are pretty interesting despite the crappy translation;

Series 1: May '98-August '00

Good luck! Think i'm going with the Series 2, only because I want a newer car. There seems to be minimal difference between the two;

Except front bumper, badge location, front grille to name a few.

    • This is the part I was unprepared for. I mean, thinking about it now, the first day I collected my car from the importer someone posted a photo of it on the highway to an online JDM page which my friend then sent me. I drove straight to the office to pick up some things and was immediately swarmed by about ten college kids -  "how much power" "why no wing" etc. The next couple times I went out I didn't really notice anything, there was a "why no wing" at a service area at some point. Then during the fourth time out driving at the Nurburgring I got the "do a drift" - the bastard cut it out in this clip. The title in itself is a red flag. As you may have guessed, I am not a fan of the attention. This leads me to wondering what to do with the car in the future; I'll see how this year goes and it may be garaged, which it mostly is already, or maybe even sent back to Japan  to also be garaged and driven occasionally on visits. Fortunately my daily is as interesting as drying paint.   
    • I couldn't get this to work right, New clean IACV, coolant seems to flow and solenoid functions, but again as soon as I plug it in the idle raises, I ran the car for a good 1/2 hour messing around with various things it, no vac leaks. At one point with the IACV plugged in I was able with the adjustment in the side of IACV turned all the way in get it idle down a little to around 1000, but no lower, and it would surge, I unplugged the IACV engine rpms drop to about 350, turned the adjustment about 3 turns in , set idle to around 800 rpms' and it idles smooth. I set the idle stop screw abut the same so it cant drop below under load. the engine starts, restarts, with no load or with a load seems to run fine. I will have to leave it like this for now as I cant get it to function correctly with the IACV plugged in. One other thing I discovered that might be the reason for some of the issues, the engine in the car is a RB25det neo from a Stagea along with the Stagea ECU. so alot of wiring, plumbing etc that is typically there in a R34 is not. 
    • Hi all, Trying to seek some assistance with my issue. I'm currently doing a complete overhaul of my suspension / driveline, on my r33 gtr and have completed stripped down the front assembly. I had purchased a new pair of front knuckles (the painted silver ones in the pictured) They were advertised by the shop aswell as other retailers online to be compatible with the entire 4wd R chassis, however when trying to fit the new pair, they don't line up with the ball joints (from the lower control arm) and the steering tie rod.  The other knuckle pictured is what came off the car, everything fits up to it perfectly, however I've been unable to figure what variant they are from originally.
    • What would be the best off set on 18" rims for these settings
