General comments?
The R34 Skyline GT-T is not such a little brother to the GT-R. Its got 280hp (just like the GT-R) and less weight!! (rwd only, thus no heavy 4wd hardware to lug around).
Performance is very good, but 6.0 seconds 0-62mph can easily be bettered with very little tuning effort. It runs at 0.6 bar boost as standard, but can easily take 1.0 bar. With upped boost, anti-cat exhaust, hks filter and plugs you'll be seeing 360hp and a 0-100km (0-62mph) time in 4.5 seconds which is GT-R territory!!! Add some 18's and lowering springs to complement the excellent HICAS 4-wheel steering and you have a very impressive coupe with effortless acceleration and awesome ability.
This car replaces a tuned 300hp Toyota MR2 Turbo and I am very VERY happy with it! The MR2 was a hard act to follow. Get these mods and you will be grinning like a cat!
I really wouldn't bother with the GT-R unless you want BIG power (i.e. 500hp+) since for the price difference you can save big cash (a 2 year old GT-T R34 is around 20K GBP while a GT-R R34 will be 30K, save the 10K and get a 25GT-t and tune it until it sings! Save yourself 1/3rd!! Think of all that cash then go on holiday to the Carribean with the money you just saved!!!
