no way the rear of the cars are completely different and thats what i dont like about the r33. but dont get me wrong lots of ppl love them and i can see why just not my cup of tea. my next door neighbour has 1 and loves it to bits but if i couldnt afford an r34 (and actually wanted a skyline) i would but r32

mate they are not completely different. They essentially hold the same style with the r34 being much more sqaure...now the FTO and the R33 backas are "completely different"

I agree they are not the same but they are not "completely different"

Good stuff Chris :D

Once you got that clutch sorted, you need to take it to the drag strip and see what it can do for 0-100 and 1/4 miles

Well you should notice the S logo on the front of the Skyline and they also wear the GT badge. If you're lucky enough you'll wear the GT badge with the R on it as well. Unless you're on of those tools who just rebadges cars to make it look better! :P

Or one of those tools who removes the badges to not show that they only really have an S pack or an RX or RS. :P Not really talking about any cars in particular there... :lol:

lots of variations but generally the GTSTs have an S badge on the bonnet or grille.

GTRs usually (except the 32) run a GTR front badge all run the rear from 32 - 34.

GTT is the 34 version of a GTST.
