Hey Guy's and Girls,

Given we are all Skyline lovers (nothing perverse) I thought I would post a topic to see what others prefer.

I love the R34 GTR, and it is a great looking car & awesome driver, but sometimes I feels it lacks the excitment of an RZ Supra (bare in mind that 4WD & RWD play a part in this).

What are your thoughts?

I love the R34 GTR, however I am the first to admit that although it is a great car to drive, it sometimes feels to lack the excitment of an RZ Supra.

What are your thoughts?

Lack the excitment of a RZ Supra????? I think you got that the other way around.

I used to drive R32 GT-R, I think it's the best GT-R, however, my car had been stolen, when I decided to buy a R32 again I can't find any good ones in the market, therefore, I brought a R33 GT-R instead a R34 GT-R for the reason that R34 is expensive, with the same amount I can put in a complete TOMEI similar RB26 N1 engines with T655 turbos, HKS pipes etc.

My friend just brought a Z-TUNNE from Japan and arrived to Hong Kong last months, the car is stunning but just don't know how to keep the best maintainance because no mechanics has the appropriate knowledge.

yer this is most likely turning into another series bashing thread (old vs whale vs pricey)

The inside of the car is where you spend 100% of your time whilst driving it! So, the newer the better I say!! Unless you are an 'U'ber track-master, where an extra 50kg's is actually going to make a difference, they shouldnt be much more to it than that.

so therefore, the only real debate that remains.. is the 'looks'. but this is like debating people's favourite colour!!! Everyone is going to have a different opinion on this, but I think that the GTS-T's/GT-T's are a particluarly boring car in stock form. all it takes is a bit of imagination and modification, to make people to stop and say "WOW!". you can do that with just about any car!

personally, i think that the RZ supras are a MUCH better looking car then the 'lines in stock form.. they have that 'sports car' look! As for excitement, i think that the 'lines take it, just for the performace.. i used to have a supra, and they are predictably sloppy compared to the skyline. I have a lot more fun in the line than i did with the supra...

anyway thats my 2c :P

I love em all....

R32 is the classic and would own one again...

R33 saw new developments in design and saftey

R34 is the youngest of the bunch and has the most gizmos...

So they all hold a special place for me... I have all the die cast models lined up side by side and would own any of them...

Yes the R32 is cheaper than the 33 and the 33 is cheaper than the 34.... Id buy the only you can afford to modify....

Oh and as for the supra... Are u kidding....

Good comparison for ya....

I bought the current R33 S2 for the same amount as a mate got his 96 model 6 speed...

We have both spent the same amount of mods... (With in a grand anyway) and i have him by 0.8 of a second down the quarter.... With him driving my car and vice verser the skyline beat the supra by 0.7 second...

So we are both similar drivers... Just shows supras are more expensive to open up...

Interesting to hear you say that mate as I have had the same experience with supras. What mods do you have?

      R32 GTR Limp Mode?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      R32 HICAS, so long as the CU is not itself faulty, is easy to keep working enough for the PS. Just unplug the smaller of the two loom plugs, on the CU, like I have already said about 4000 times on this forum. This works with all the stock hardware, or with a lock bar, or with a complete removal. I know, because I have done all of them. OK, actually, I never put a lock bar on because why would you put a lock bar on when you can get rid of the whole lot, including the stupid tie rod ends?

      Join the NorCal facebook group btw, but if you can confirm it is HICAS I would install a lock bar and do the work to keep the HICAS control unit happy despite the hardware not functioning. The HICAS control unit is also responsible for speed sensitive power steering so if it's unhappy you'll get failsafe/heavy power steering. A standalone can control that power steering solenoid valve but sometimes it's just easier to stick with the factory setup. Tomei makes a little electronic module that you can install to fool the control unit. I would probably go through the effort to not use a scotch-lok and build a harness so I don't have to chop up the OEM harness. Where you could source those connectors and pins I wouldn't know at the moment though.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Oh, another question comes to mind though. What sort of shitty fuel are you feeding it. Mine, a turbo, has to be fed 98RON, so it doesn't ping itself to death. 98 in Oz is good, dense fuel with minimal oxygenated compounds. Meaning that the energy density is high, and if the O2 trim is working, you will get more MPG than with a lesser fuel. If you're using some sort of piss poor E10 blend with some other MBTE or other oxygenated additions, that could explain using more per mile.

      I have no idea where the thump is coming from, it sounds like its from behind me but im not exactly sure. And it was the HICAS light that came on.   I think a complete delete is the route im going to go. Probably going to pick up the kit within the next month and get it installed. HICAS is just going to end up being a headache if I keep it.    Thanks you.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Just putting this here for reference for other beginners. Similar to what I said above.  I learnt if you have a few dents that are fairly close to each other (within a couple of inches maybe 2-4 inches?) Use filler across them all and sand it all at once with the long block as opposed to fixing them seperately.  Will make life MUCH easier because you won't get stuck in the cycle that I did. I think doing it seperately there is some overlap (mean your whole repair zone might cover near the area of the other dent) and you start sanding near the other dent making a low spot.
