Fuel Economy - I get about 500 km out of a tank but thats with pretty timid driving

Defects - What do you mean?

How hard do they go - Pretty bloody good stock my dad was amazed at the pulling power it has in the top gears. Plenty of torque which helps.

Are they reliable - I reackon they are, they are well bolted together mines done about 49,000 km's and there is only two squeakes in it. Then engine is really smooth and the gearbox is typical nissan.

What to look out for when buying one - Make sure the suspension isn't shagged, look for any accident repairs, get a compression test done, just the usual

How many kw's stock - They are 206kw stock and off the top of my head about 340 nm of torque that figure may be a bit high.

Go harder than a wrx - They do i've beat wrx's but alot of it is down the the driver.

Roomy inside - Yes the front seats are good i have a good amount of room in the drivers seat and i'm about 6'2, passenger side is also really nice and roomy. The back seats though forget about it, they are next to useless, but why would you want a full load of people in a nice car like that?

Are they hard to work on - Not really just standard skyline fair parts tend to be a bit more expensive as there aren't as many of them out there compared to the r32's and r33's but if you've modded a performance car before it's fairly simple.

What turbo they run stock - I can't remember off the top of my head at all just that they don't really like more than 12 - 14 psi as higher than that and they like to shit themselves.

Any other questions just ask i'm sure fellow owners will be able to help you out.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
