Got one and love it!

R34 GTT is a good all round car... it's got both the sporty aspect as well as the nice posh look of a semi-luxury car.

As for power and handling, can't complain - but saying that, these things are changable on both cars.

Stock for stock - 34 anyday!

The R34 is definitely heavier than the R33..Besides the looks of it...IMO R34 looks better but in performance wise...i think both are the same. Maybe the R33 might even be faster due to the weight difference..

Clearly a few people are unsure of the difference between a R33 GTT and a R34 GTT. In one word - MASSIVE. The R34 has a much much better engine (both stock, and as a base to do up), better turbo, better steering (super HICAS), better brakes, better body, better interior, etc etc etc. If you can remotely afford the extra few K's, go for the R34.

The R34GTT is nice. The NEO engine with VVT-I is quicker too, I think. Interior is much nicer too.

Though, whether it is or isn't worth upgrading from a 33GTST to a 34GTT is still a tough decision.

Personally if I were upgrading from a 33GTST I'd go for something a bit different, maybe the tried and true RZ TT 6Sp Supra or something not so everyday like a DC2 Type-R.

If you do go the GTT (which would still be a great car to own anyway), be careful how you mod it. GTTs can look absolutely horrid - like anorexic 34GTRs - with the wrong mods.

i have a 34gtt. Absolutely fantastic car!!!. However, my brother has a 1997 gtst that has been modded to the max. suspension, bigger turbo, brakes, major head work, greddy plenum, drag intercooler etc. His car for roughly the same money as a bone stock 34 is a far superior car. 33's are still phat either way you look at it. I cannot even begin to keep up with him on the freeway or in the hills.

So all in all i would say apart from the looks they are fairly similar and both fantastic platforms to modify or keep in stock trim and use as an everyday car.

I think the decision really rests on whether you want to have a racer or an everyday car.

The 34 is more unique there are less around and in close to stock trim say with an exhaust and fmic and filter go fairly hard really (good for an everyday car). But If you are a mad man like my brother :( and have the need for speed, for the same money as a 34 you can have a absolutely mental 33 which not much would keep up with straight line or in the hills.

Though if that is really what you are after (ie bang), get a R32 GTR and do it up :-) That's not a negative comment for the R34 (I have one and like it a lot) but if you are on a limited budget, and just want 'bang', an R32 GTR is your cheapest way of doing it..

I've owned 32's, 33's, and 34's (helped that I lived in tokyo for a while ;) ) and think the two best cars (excluding the R34 GTR which is still too expensive) are the R32GTR and the R34 GTT, for different reasons/purposes/costs..

    • Plan on the day will be to park trackside. Depending on space availability we will try put a small shade tent and a few of the cars on top of the hill inside turn 3, this is an easy to get to parking area with views of Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4 and Turn 5 and limited other pieces of the view around the track. IMPORTANT NOTE! One consideration from previous years is from memory the trackside parking sells out before the admission tickets, for that reason I encourage anyone planning on coming to buy tickets for parking now via the official website; https://www.worldtimeattack.com/ The type of parking you are looking for is 2 Day Park & View (Access Around Venue) Vehicle Pass Only Please note this does not include admission to the event itself, remember to grab that also, and kids under 12 get in for free!
    • This is going to be a mid week evening cruise. Come along and join us for a drive out to Palm Beach. This is a change of event plans after talking to some of the older members of the club. SAU NSW is planning on hitting Old Pac again shortly, stay tuned for details. When: Thursday 26th of June Time: 7:30pm meet/8:00pm departure/10:00pm finish Meet: Spit West Car Park / Spit Rd Mosman NSW 2088 Destination: Palm Beach Public Parking / 16 Ocean Rd Palm Beach NSW 2108 Up to date information as always can be found on the events page of our website, the link for this event is https://www.saunsw.com.au/events/palm-beach-cruise There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our track days. This is an official SAUNSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit.

When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave. Thanks guys and hope to see you there!
    • Good time for a carbon roof  
    • Not in any way aroused by any of those, except maybe the big AMGs. And that would break my never a Euro, ever, rule.
