Honestly, I'd do the same thing this guy did - buy a GTT and do the bare minimum to make it look like a GTR. The R34 GTR was an awesome car in its day but today it is mostly hype and overpriced.
I've been wondering about just wide bodying a skyline r34 & swapping it to what ever. Like a 1jzgte or whatever. Anything feasible & fun. What made me think this is the Nissan Laurel is essentially the same car as a regular r34 Skyline is it not? So if you prefer the tails on a r34 then a regular skyline with a bit of body work & power plant upgrades would make a car usably worth double in the right owners hands I think.
@@philipwilliams3427 for a R34 you gotta pull the axles every time it’s not like the r32 where you can just shut it off and be done..well that’s atleast what I’ve heard I haven’t owned either to know first hand.
My point exactly, I'd love to see proof of a transaction for an $80k GTT. Of course RB26 swap + everything else including rear fenders is a different story.
If all the GTT has is a fender conversion then yeah, wow, BUT, if the car has a FULL GTR conversion along with suspension, brakes, wheels and tires then $80k isn't far off. Price it all out, ALL of it, not just a fender swap...
@@buildingcarsissohard1813that's like saying hey I've invested a hundred thousand to $200,000 in my project car now it's worth all the money that I put in when I'm trying to sell.... 😂😂😂😂 No dummy it doesn't work like
Not sure which ones DDE has owned, but this was not the same one. Dave contacted me after we did our video on the two cars asking for the info, and shortly after they did a video on the cars as well. The red one was bought by my friend Jerry just a couple months later, from the same owner. The car hadn't moved or ever been insured for road use in North America before Jerry did.
Alright I’m curious though if one wishes to purchase a GTT or GTR R34 what would be a good and trustworthy import site? I’ve heard talk about some being sold on Facebook market place but I’d also like to see what places sell them because no Nissan dealership where I live has even a mention of those cars and I’m really thinking about investing into one of these soon
Strait up, I’d by something like this for me and no one else, I’d put the GTR logo on it. F what people think, you got a problem go get a skyline R34 GTR.
Haha naw, it's still basically stock. I put everything back into the business, not too much priority to work on my own toy at the moment. Maybe over the winter!
lmao at some of the comments here. People are so butt hurt about gtt looking like a gtr. I have one and i dont give a rat on what others think about my car.
I don't agree what with you said about "i dont have the cash to buy a gtr". It would be a reasonable thing to say if GTRs didnt' cost over 100%-200% more than a GTT.
Yeah, I get it. I just don't know anyone who has the $$ for a GTR but bought a GTT instead, that's all haha. Just my gut feeling when I see one converted. To each their own!
I have a 4dr gtt here in Okinawa and it is a bit underwhelming. Love my car and it’s fun and very nostalgic as a gran turismo lover. Your avg 2018+ car is more reliable, more comfortable, and probably faster lol. Once again still love this car and will be keeping it but I personally think they’re a bit overhyped.
I wanted a GTT but after seeing one in person and for what they're going for in America.I passed, for that price I can get a turbo mk4. Which imo is actually worth 60k.
Honestly if i could get a GTT I would because the way i see it is its just like my 07 WRX compared to the STi so i would truly go for the GTT over the GTR bight for practicality and in the real world ive got my dream car and dont owe a dime on it happy days with a daily driver that always gives smiles.
Regular Skyline r34 with a widebody & power plant swap of choice, custom management. Seems like it would be worth double it's initial value for the right owners of the car.
Dude people have had gt-r's in the United States for over the past decade in very small numbers... Even some rich Asians that were coming abroad for school out here and went to the universities and they had their GTR R34 imported into the state so they can drive their own car around... If you got the money you can do anything you want
I've always loved skylines and Japanese i6's for that matter. However, with how expensive they are, I'd rather just get a i6 turbo BMW manual. It might not sound or look as good, but the same recipe. I can't imagine paying a mortgage just to own something JDM
Are you able to provide a link to any 100% stock R34 GTRs with halogen lights? As far as I know all R34 GTRs were equipped standard with xenons. The halogens (downgrade) were not an option. The xenons were an option (upgrade) on other R34 models, including the GTT (as mentioned in the video). I've personally never seen an R34 GTR with halogens from the factory, but if you have any additional info i'd love to see it!
@@RoadsUntraveled The UK spec GTRs were delivered with halogens, from factory. Not a huge number of cars but I think it counts. If you look up "R34 UK spec" or some similar term, you should find magazine photoshoots of the cars.😉 As for the other models, they were absolutely standard equipment on some of the non-GTR models, like the GTT coupe, and a upgrade on others.
The scene from the 2fast2furious where Paul Walker is swithing lanes trying to get to a race on time was one of the most influential things for turning me into a car guy. R34 GTR is a fun car but not even close to a $200k fun.
Exactly! I don't even know how so many people have a six figure income in this current economy. A mid-high mileage BNR34 GT-R is realistic 65-80K driving experience at best. Fanboyism and FOMO is pushing these dumb dumb prices on 90's cars in general.
@FrankZR1 Exactly. I built ny own from the ground up in 18 months, only have owned it since June 2021 (Fall 2020 order from Japan), and it does NOT feel like a $160-275,000 car. $100k CAD at best. Same goes for the Supra - $75,000 at best.
As cool as these cars are, +100k is too much. Rather have something else that’s actually worth that much OR just buy a damn house/4plex….lol. I’m also a “poor” so wth do I know to begin with. 🤣
911 GT2 RS if gonna spend 250k on a car. Can't beat a 700hp factory gt car from Porsche. Evryone talks about the GT3 and sleeps on the turbos and the 700hp because they feel the NA motor of the GT3 is the best and all thats needed which is true but why not have the same engine and when need boost for extra power its there. But can still drive it under the boost threshold around town and have a decent daily driver
I actually prefer the rear end on the GT-T opposed to the GTR rear end. The GTR has a much higher side body line. I think the GT-T looks sleeker and smooth if on the right rims and those 5 spoke rims look very nice. Not quite the perfect set of rims but very good looking set. If stanced properly then perfect car having GTR front end with a GT-T rear end.
Hillarious. Early 34s tend to go for more money than later model cars for obvious reasons (US eligible). So a VERY stock 34 GTT coupe with average miles and a manual can't be found for less than $50k in the states. People tend to forget that car they see on Japanese websites still needs between 6 and $10k worth of transport/shipping fees and taxes depending on how you do it
@@buildingcarsissohard1813 Also you need to pay for additional conversions to make then street legal. For Skylines, they will cost at least $10,000 for US conversions.
Generally the people buy the GTRs also have enough money for the 997 GT3 or any other car. I've had a few cars and buying a fast car is cool, but the feeling you get from these inline 6 turbo Japanese cars is so addictive. These reminded me that you don't need to be going a million miles to have fun. It's a fun street cruiser that you get to tinker away at. The JDM customisation/moding/styling options of that era are vast.

You need to find a trust worthy import dealer that will pick you up and deliver the car to your residence.
Gotta let a GTT be a GTT. All the GTR clones really ruin the vibe. The GTT with the Altia kit is perfect. That GTT is botched
