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?

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, 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...

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
