its quite simple, nissans goal for the GTR was coming up with a homolgated street vehicle that could be successfully raced with minor modifications.

LOL...I wasnt aware that Grp A Touring cars was production car racing :P

They had far more then minor modifications...but i know what you mean.

Its up to the individual...i would love to have GTR toy car, but there is no way i could afford to do what i like to do with my car if i owned a GTR...so it will be different for everyone.

I dont think there is any real argument... the GTR is simply the better car.

Personally i could never own an R34 GTR, having seen the amount of attention they attract, i just couldnt own it....and i have little brother syndrome, i like trying to show up the bigger brothers, may only happen once in a lifetime, but me and my 2.0L will take that moment to my grave :P

But if you ask any owner of a GTR they will tell you that it's a money pit.

ask any owner of a Nissan Skyline and they will tell you its a money pit... not maintance wise but eventually that modifying bug hits you and your pockets are the first thing that gets in infected :)

:lol: not doubting it **JaR**! But GTST owners are better off than GTR owners when it comes to modifying.

I heard you have to be careful if changing the rims with a GTR because it screws with the HICAS/ATTESSA is that true?

lol yeah that i'll agree with, simply coz its got a GTR badge prices are nuts :(

i dunno about rim sizes affecting hicas/attessa?? wouldnt changing rim sizes only affect the speedo reading like on any other car?

yes the 4wd system goes funny when the wheels are not same size allround

Yes i agree GTR's are a money pit..

there is so much u can do to these things that make it go bezerk

i have driven 32/33/34 GTST'GTT/GTR's

there is no doubt that the GTR is a superior allround car.

responds extremely well to basic tune ups.

but as every1 says breaking a RB26 is what us GTR owners fear the most

Break a RB20/25 ??? easy just go out and buy another 1

break a RB26????? not as simple for starters they cost 6-7 G's just the engine it self no turbos and add ons etc

but in the end

i'll never buy a GTST unless it was a 4 door :(

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
