RE: PH Heroes: Nissan Skyline GT-R R34

[BlueMR2]

Someone once told me they wanted an R32.

I replied that i like the Skylines.

They looked confused, turn out they wanted a golf .

More skyline pics please everyone!!!!!

'I love that, one of the best, most aggressive jap cars in my view. '

After 7 years of ownership I pleaded that dad didn't sell this car (UK Vspec). Of course, there was self interest as was buying a house, R32 was a bit broken and, basically, step mum had rumbled that I tended to ponce it pretty much most of the time.

That was 2 years ago and dad, now 67, says 'I wish I hadn't sold that GTR'.

Thanks for those photos liner33.

Every time I see an 'R32' thread on PH I jump for joy. Usually before looking at the thread and seeing a st Golf.

For the r33 lover my favourite 33 GTR, have to be midnight purple imo , didnt like the midnight purple 3 on the 34 to be honest

But a 34 just has to be

impressive performance but sorry, never done it for me on the aesthetics front. Looks like a malaysian taxi after the kit club got their hands on it.

What a crappy statement, different does not mean inferior. For crying out loud if it wasn't for Eastern car design, however you view it, the world of cars would be a damn dull place.

Had one of only a couple of uk spec yellow r34's a few years back, I bought it directly from the first owner. Great car but I never fully grew to love it....was never as polished as the 996 turbo which were similar money at the time.

Was totally reliable for the time I owned it however bar a clutch and turned more heads than anything I'd had before.

I'm surprised a certain mate of mine hasn't posted yet.. He's got a much loved blue R34. I think the 280bhp out of the box figure was somewhat conservative, to get through agreed limits.
Astonishing GT car but dare I say, just a little on the big and technical side for me.

R35?? Strewth that is huuuuge!!

Hate these threads. Every time I'm reminded how much I miss my R33 GTS (except for the interior).

Another mate had an R33 GTS. To be honest, the interior seemed very similar to my S14a 200sx (no real shock of course). A bit Jap feeling but I thought it was well screwed together.

Does anyone have, or have experience of, the N/A i6 cars e.g. 25GT, GT-X,GT-V? I've only ever seen the turbos for sale in the uk. The N/A engines still put out ~200hp, and should make for a fun, rare drive.

[liner33]

The N/A versions of the 32/33/34 are dire , very underpowered and bizarrely the same insurance as the GTR

[Vocal Minority]

Not really my cup of tea, I have always respected them rather than listed after them.

However as others have said, it does wear its years very well. I certainly prefer it to the R35.

[Patrick Bateman]

Close friend had a 33, complete weapon, always an event.

They're pretty big so that comparison picture with the GTR is quite surprising.

[sc4589]

Love them when they look a little more subtle.





Any of them out of an R32, R33 or R34 will do me.

'bit of a barge really but check these pics out , talking of big cars'

Jesus...I've never seen a R34 next to a GTR...that's comical!

I bought a R32 11 years ago and then my dad sent me out to buy a R34 after driving mine. The R34 was an absolute beast and I just loved it for the presence. For driving though...give me my old clunky R32 GTR ta (still own it)

Nice to see another TH1 car in the UK, great colour.

Here's mine, imported at the end of last year.






I grew up with all the Gran Turismos and it's always been about the R32 for me. I've always thought that the R33 is a bit bloated looking and the R34 slightly awkward. Each to their own though.

A good R34 is nearly 3 times the price of an R32 or 33 and I can't see it being 3 times the fun.

Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely love R35's but my god I think it looks ugly at that angle in the top pic.
