Whats your point? I've owned plenty of commodres, good cars.

vomit

Looks like it, but i think the white one is different, same wheels but different skirts, and i actually didnt see your post before i made mine.

Sharpy

haha all good, i saw it and laughed

k_diz7

never really understood matt black? dont know why you would have a car with a perfectly good paint job and respray it to make it look like its coloured in with vivid

warney

Sharpy

I owned an s13 and now have the r34 but can't really directly compared mainly due to the fact that the s13 was sr20de and 10 years older where the r34 is turbo.

General interior build quality wise the skylines are probably better i have no annoying squeaks or rattles in my car compared to the s13 which just wouldn't stop. But then again 1992 vs 2001 models makes a big difference

vomit

Can look good. there was a thread awhile ago about it with some good examples.

vomit

Fucking double post.

Sharpy

TBH I don;t like ANYTHING matte black, even the s15 I posted, I just posted to show non wog spec. Even high end lambo's porsches etc.

Makes the car look cheaper

vomit

Makes the car look tougher.

I always wanted to do a Chevy LUV in matt green.

i spose if you guys had ever to new zealand recently youd understand. Theres more matt black gtst's than herpes in hamsterdam!

Sharpy

I went to NZ in 08 for superlap, and admittedly was only there 6 days, but saw sweet fuck all nissans. It's mostly evo's, wrx's hondas etc etc

TRY TOO

Much much much prefer r32s over s13. Had a 32, sold and got a 180, it was good and went well but drive wise, muccch prefer r32s over an s13!

Out of what i have driven 350z is best!

sweet_az

same here i have driven both a 180 and my r32 is by far the best car

k_diz7

yea its pretty bad now. Full of matt black 32's and dirty cefiros. Mainly young school kids thinking they're all dk.

32 MKV

ouch!

jish

Umm...no. Because I was comparing GTS4 to GTR, not GTS-T. Hurp durp.

These days with the prices not being all to different why not go GTR? Just my opinion.

I got my R32 4 door with and RB25 because:

1- I like 4 doors
2- I like RWD, not AWD.

So no, it doesn't work with any other skyline.

vomit

I know this, but couldnt you compare any skyline to a GTR and say that a GTR is better? In the same why you have so cleverly compared a GTS4 to a GTR and came to the amazing conclusion that a GTR is better.


I agree, you can pick up a GTR for not much more than a base model, GTST or GTS4. (initial purchase price that is)



You just answered your own question, some people like yourself might prefer a different model skyline to a GTR.

So Yes, it does work for EVERY other skyline.

clutch-monkey

i actually posted that purely because i saw you reading the thread before

and okay so it's a little true

well i owned a dead standard 1992 silvia q in 2001 i bought for the princely sum of $11900 from a car yard, and i was the 1st australian owner. had genuine(with jap log books to prove it) 89 000 kms. then in 03 i sold it for $11500 and bought myself a dead stock 92 r32 4 door gts-t m spec for $10700.
both cars were absolutely immaculate and everything was super tight unlike s13's and r32's that have had 5 ausie owners and lived a tough life. the s13 was the best car i'd had ever driven back then, especially compared to my mates vk's and brand new lancers and astra's. but the skyline to me was on a whole other level. compared to the s13 the r32 steering was so direct and grip mid corner was fantastic. only gripes was the passive 4ws. it would feel weird pushing it midcorner with less and less steering angle into the corner needed as you pushed.
everything about the skyline feels superior, interior (on my model at least) was not the dated carpet upholestry on the seats and door cards but velour. the brakes are great with no fade even under real hard braking. when left standard the rb20 seems much bigger than a 2 liter motor, with the little ceramic turbo masking the torquless nature that the rb20 normaly has when upgraded.

may i suggest that the gts-4 you went in handled good not from the fact that it is awd, but instead that the r32 is just an inherently good handling platform.
i'd go the r32 over s13 in a heartbeat. motor choice, to be different vq25det.206kw standard and cheap....dirt cheap to buy in japan right now!

s13viper

The R34 GTT is best imo for some very simple reasons

It is the newest (along with the s15)
They arnt that expensive these days (15-20k)
They have lots of torque in the low and mid range with the neo rb25 engine.I barely rev mine around town as it just dosent need it
Looks are subjective but the they are certianly up there, and with the right kit/wheels certainly do look great
They have the best interior with the most space out of any of the cars mentioned.
They are the most practical of the cars mentioned, with decent range as well
They are generally in excelllent condition with low km, meaning most likely the most reliable
Since they have a RB25, they have alot of petential for modifications that are known to work

vomit

Good points.

Nobody has mentioned the S14a yet, i think if i was going to buy another import i would definatly consider an S14a.

MR2Mark

Havnt owned a nissan but have driven a few in various states of modification.

IMO, r34gtt > r32 > r33 = s13

32 MKV

fucker! you got me.

on the bright side I went in a Widebody 911 (89 i think) with a GT30 turbo.
A 400HP porsche with a screamer was the best experience of my life!!!

jish

I still don't think you understand the concept of comparing one AWD model against another AWD model.

My ENTIRE point of the first post was to say IF I had to chose 1 AWD (and only AWD) model of Skyline, I wouldn't bother with a GTS4.

Yet somehow you took that completely out of context like I was saying GTR's are the be all and end all of a car and that price difference is why I got a 4 door with an RB25 (which has no truth to it whatsoever).

vomit

I dont think anyone would chose a GTS4 over a GTR.

Your original post wasnt "if i had to chose one...", it was.


Which, YES IT CAN, be used to compare with any skyline

Why buy a gtst when you can buy a gtr?
Why buy a gts when you can buy a gtr?


You then go onto awnser your own question by saying you chose a GTST 4 door over a GTR due to you wanted 4 doors and solely RWD.

So one reason why someone might buy a GTS4 over a GTR might be because they need/want a 4 door.

I'm sorry this took so much explaining, i wasnt having ago at you, i hope you understand what i was saying now.
