Comparing V35 Skyline 350GT and ER34 Skyline GT-T

[calvinlow]

Planning to get 1 out of these 2 cars, owners out there could you please give some comment for these 2 cars?

besides that, anyone who is good mechanically can you explain the difference between V6 and L6? This is the biggest difference I could discover from these 2 cars.

Thank you

v6 allows more compact engine compartment and allow the engine push far back to the firewall where inline 6 cannot. meanwhile l6 advantage is the free space to modify in the left and right of the engine thus more bigger turbo, better intake manifold design could me placed and gain more horsepower. some say l6 are much smoother and balanced engine compared to v6 (which need balancing shaft to counter the vibration of the engine????).

between the car itself, both have potential if u have the money to dump it in. for vg35 there's twin turbo kit sell internationally and locally (same engine as 350z, there's power but a bit lazy which can be cured with rechipped or retuning). meanwhile r34 gtt already a good mod platform. u can increase the turbo sizing etc.

have fun :)

Both cars look totally different. Get the car that suits your taste. V35 is NA power. R34GTT is Turbo power. The biggest problem is road tax... 3.5liters RM4400 per year and 2.5liters RM800+.

If u like to modify and want to feel the power of turbos ...better go for r34...u an modify to maximum...but v35.... is limited modification only....the roadtax money u spend yearly....can save and modify...to r34...

There still ppl buy V35 and change the engine to RB26...
THe body design is having some diffrent, so its only depend which u like too.
For me... i like the tail lamp of V35, while front look of R35...
I've a same question as TS so i come to visit this threat... hehe~
:embarassed:

Besides all that, V35 is a newer car compared to ER34 (in term of year) and maintenance wise will be less also. Most important is what you going to use it for...weekend or daily drive? Of coursed V35 is smoother then ER34 but, in term of modification...ER34 will be our best choice for HP gain!
Some more V35 parts are more expensive and kinda limited in modification.

 

[khellvinne]

yah.. if wanna drive or minimum mod only, then u can choose V35.
if u going for crazy mods, R34 is your choice.

 

[V-Spec]

Or if you're sick of the R34, you can go for the more refined and comfy V35. Skyline also ma. hehe

 

[calvinlow]

Thanks for the info everyone.
Since the car would be used for daily drive as well, guess I'll go for V35.
Its a good idea to swap RB26 in, I've actually been thinking whether the VR38 fits V35 as well.
And seriously I don't think RB nor VR could be a plug and play one in V35, so JPJ approval would be another problem.
I found myself falling in love deeply with V35 as I further discover its greatness, yeah!

 

[achelone]

hmmm you could wait for GTR halfcut lor......put it in and smoke us all... :D

 

[keisukosan]

buy v35 convert to r35 engine lolx.....

 

[calvinlow]

even yes i'd be somewhere next year...well i actually prefer to keep the engine stock, as it'll be drive by my dad in future..for myself i'd straight go for R35, I'm poisoned by it deeply n addicted...

I think the V35 with a subtle kit and nice rims is pure bling. But comparing it an R34GTT is like comparing apples and oranges. It's more similar to the 350z IMHO.

I guess you have to decide on what sort of car you really want. If you're looking for more power than the GTT would give you more options locally. Plus, its a lot cheaper to squeeze more power out of the GTT than the V35. You can buy bolt on turbo kits/superchargers for the V35 but the kits aren't cheap and the NA engine is not designed for much boost.

Another thing worth considering is the fact that the V35s are automatic (correct me if I'm wrong) whereas manual GTTs are everywhere. I know which one I'd rather be driving

At the end of the day it all comes down to you. Is this a project car which you only drive on the weekends or is it something you drive to work everyday, meet clients in etc but still want to have fun once in awhile? If that's the case then the V35 is probably best.

Forget about all this engine transplant etc. You'll lose a lot of money in the long run unless you're going to keep the car forever not to mention all the problems you'll encounter along the way.

That's just my 2 cents. Peace.

The same as 350Z, there are also 6 speed manual V35's... But mostly Auto's are brought in.

Oh ok. I guess there is a demand for manual V35s then. To be honest, I've always viewed the 350z and V35s as the type of car you'd want to cruise around in rather than be stuck changing gears which is why my 350z wasn't a manual either. :redface:

The worst thing you can do a 350z is put in a 2JZ hahaha. Sadly another misguided soul who was my junior in high school.
