Skyline R34 Gtt

[Ghostrider]

The ER34 is still a great car to own...nevermind its not a R34.

 

Its like why I bought a autorex...yes..manual is great fun but the regular jams here is a torture. So a 4dr 250bhp automatic saloon sounds just about right. Good power...bang for buck...its not a poorer STi but a winner in its own right.

 

Seriously if I were to sell my car...I also dunno what to get....with that bang for buck performance.

 

So...if you ask me GTT good....hell yeah...4dr...very decent power. Sure beats driving some other bread and butter cars.

[To_be_advised]

True to certain extend also lah as everyone's different. I'm one of those that doesnt like the fat girl. The GTR has never worked on me, something like the RX8. As said previously, I wouldnt buy the 35 GTR even if I got the money.

 

Corvette are nice... but for that money I will take GT2 or 3... Ever since the facelift of 997, I'm in love with the fancy colour combination and raw interior trim of the GT2/3

 

 

 

 

Whats your 1/4 mile time? If its only straight line, dont really need to bring to SG what. In fact, if you've been on the drag, I'd say drag strip in Asian probably gives you an advantage being hotter thus making your tyre stickier.

 

Also, I think you've mis understood my previous comment. I dont mean RB25 arent capable of high power but it cost more to make them. Not to mention being less reliable unless you've got a built engine (or even with forged internals), this means more money too. RB26 can run safely at 300-330awkw on stock... can the RB25 do that?

 

 

 

 

Go see the car lah. Unless you're blind, the 2 turbos will be obvious if its an RB26. Also, unless its got an engine coversion (not sure about legalty in SG), it will be a RB25 NEO for the GTT.

 

Can the rb26dett be changed to a single big turbo? Cos i read before on Twin turbo supra running single big turbo.

Any other easy tell tale signs for differentiation?

ER34 is a R34... R34 is the general model (like code for that range/year Skyline). The GTR is BNR34. Think of Rex and STi and maybe it'll make a bit of sense (in a way...).

 

GTT is comes in 2doors and 4doors. GTV is the NA version of the R34 Skyline. The older Skylines (R32 and R33) have GTS (NA), GTST (single turbo) and of course the GTR. These are very general variants and there more to the GTRs which I shouldnt add.

 

For 60k SGD, it is worth the money IMHO.

It can be converted to a single turbo setup but you wouldnt get much response without do the supporting mod (can be VERY costly, e.g. gearing and engine work.). Normally big single setup are for dyno queens. Also... the RB26 stamp is on the cam cover (even though the owner can change to after market ones).

 

If you need more knowledge, try Skyline Australia.

 

[To_be_advised]

thanks. i will go see the skyline australia. the easiest sign i thought was the rb25 or rb26 in front of the engine but funny this engine only has rb and the number behind is missing. maybe it was done intentionally. For me, 4 doors is better than 2 doors. As for power, it is a never ending journey. As long as it is decent to drive, i will be more happy already.

Not contesting GT-R is of higher performance, the price is already an indication. But to say why get an evo when you can get a GT-R is not always the case. Different stroke for different folks leh. Some like all round cars, just like some people like to carry all in one devices, over different purpose build equipment.

 

No right or wrong. It is true that GT-R is a different level in terms of performance, but performance isn't everything. For instance, the GT-R is a bit wide, & where I live, its a chore, as the roads are very narrow.

 

A few years ago, I was like I got to get the GT-R, if only I can afford! I even join NAGTROC, look about all the tune option, do research, break down the money for modd; when I thought I can final afford one. Its not hard, when you moved out of Singapore. haha

 

But once you can afford it, something strange happen, you suddenly think about other choices also, or wonder if you should even get one, & look at it on an more objective view.

 

Its similar to when one is young, & say, if I grow up, I gonna buy this that I cannot afford as student. But when you start working & have the money, you did not buy it, for various reasons.

 

While I have huge respect for the performance & engineering, I cannot convince myself to get one. I did not get the evo X also, as I cannot stand the rather low quality interior (Mitsubishi are very bad in making interior) & never get pass the exterior look. The look of the GT-R is also a factor why I am not that gaga over it.

 

Anyway, my new favourite is the new Covette C7 stringray. Now that's one complete sport car package, great looks, finally a good interior, & massive power & Torque, & a reasonable price. If I am not doing too badly, I may get one in the next years.

 

How can one resist this:

 

I like this covette, wonder why spore never takes in many US cars.

Only RHD are available. Also its 6.2l! Imagine the road tax.

[Kiadaw]

U said it. Performance isnt everything. So is convinience. Like i mentioned, its all abt preference.

 

Not saying evos are not good, but i for one will not compare the maintainece wif a gtr. Nor will anybody in their rite mind will. Everything comes wif a price.

 

Nice choice of car u hv there. But over here in sg, even owning a run of the mill nissan sunny is expensive. Lol.

Of course, cannot compare maintence, & I never said so. cheers

never timed in on a quarter mile drag, but like i mention just a friendly. it would be good for me to have a rough idea on certain benchmarks, no shame in losing. And yes, it ran close to 300awkw on stock internals...but not very usable power in SG as u don't have roads n points to last that long, hence i scaled down the horses.

 

Some GTR34 in singapore are running single turbo setup, hence for the uninitiated they may not be able to identify properly. i'm sure the scenes in australia where u are at are similar

[Sky61]

Are you refering to this?

No engine pics. But exterior def is GTT.

 

thats a GTT, they don't make R34GTRs in 4doors from factory. Here is a very good example of a transplant

Nice figures. But the figures must be backed up by a good tune. Not bragging but I've dragged a 450rwhp (slightly higher than 300rwkw) 34GTT before and he totally cannot keep up. I'm emphasizing how important a good tune is.

 

Go try a SLK55 AMG if you can find 1 in SG. I'm on par with it if not faster. Drag the same guy once and so happen he came to our club drag day. He ran 13s after countless attempt and I did 12.7s with around 5runs that day I think.

 

Some do and its up to individual preference. Personally I prefer twin. If you can look at the car, its very simple. Just check the rear diff as I mentioned previously. GTT will not have that.

GTT has rear differentials...its a RWD....i just change my differential bearings. And yes, it comes with an LSD. Some guys just have that bias towards what they perceive as lesser models. Enjoy ur GTR, at least its cheap there.

Back in January, I was eyeing this car: http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.php?ID=309039

But when I finished calculating my expenditures and budget, the car was already sold. I rung up the dealer 3 days after I saw the ad fyi.

The car was selling at $85K initially then reduced to $75K then $73K. I have the ex owner's number and apparently, he also owns an FC3S.

 

Literally spent hours calculating losses, calling insurance coys and even sourcing a replica GTR body kit that doesn't need the GTR front and rear fenders.

I found the bodykit at east bear. http://www.east-bear.co.jp/

 

To the person who got the car, I curse your whole family to have diarrhoea next CNY.

RWD bah.. If starting from a dig, 4wd will surely get a huge advantage over the rwd GTT. Considering that your 12.7s is a benchmark, and his is in the 13's, I think he held up well despite

the disadvantage. Put hoosier slicks on that GTT and he'll probably get better times perhaps. No doubt GTR's are superior to GTT's but that don't mean the GT's are slow.

 

It ain't all about power. You can't put the pedal to the metal if the rubber don't touch the road.

I'm talking about the atteasa... when I say diff I mean the area around there ia where it's located... go google the pic.

 

Yeah it's cheap but you really don't want to take a loan to buy a car here. A decent 34gtr vspec ia still around 45-50k

Dont get me wrong. I'm not saying gtt is not a good car but its for someone that enjoys rwd cars. Most gtt or gtst owners I know all wants a gtr for their next car just because you'll need to spend a lot to have the performance close tp the gtr.

 

Our club ex president drives a r33 gtst heavily modded but street registered. However he love driving it and race it. Smoke plenty of gtr. He got a r33gtr as daily too. But its a cop magnet.
