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?

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
