:cheers: Hey I went car hunting today down Parra Road, was looking at 34s and the odd 33. Im wondering what your opinions are on the 34s and what price you would pay for a stock standard one and one with a bit of mods done to it (exhaust,rims) etc.

Also what other cars are good to buy atm an they don't have to be skylines, I kind of like the Evo 6s and 7s.

Seen some in the city and they look hot.

I was also thinking of impoting a R34 but the only issue I have is it wont have warranty

(not that big of an issue)

Whats your thoughts on import pricing too.

Thanx

Jayla. :P

This is so hot for an S15 >>> http://www.autotrader.com.au/photodisplay.asp

Thats just a couple of interests.. And im looking for manual.

yeah ill look on here too.

What you think of this there is a 33 blk manual in there for 15k its got stage one mods i was thinking to get it and go crazy on it with its mods and looks bit Im not sure if its worth doing.

What exactly are stage one mods.....

Umm dunno it stated it in an add, from my memory, exhaust, computer, turbo upgrade i think dont quote me on that but lol.

I know none of the cars ive looked at have had major mods like forgies,cams etc but if I get a stocker for the right price I can modify myself.

Very funny JOE lol, hmm since yours is being rebuilt It makes me think of how hard you have driven it LOL.. And 33GTR came to mind but Im really loving the look of the 34s at the moment.

Colour choices are Black,Yellow and consider white..

Hmmm everytime I look at the s15 I fall in love with them, i never liked them b4 and they kind of growing on me now.

Still I love my skylines and they will always have my vote.

I might go have a look at the s15 and see what its like up close.

Hi I am the same as you Jayla I am tossing up between a S15 or R34 cant really decide what I want.

I think you should just have a look around for awhile and see what comes up and make a list of things that you want in a car and then do Pros and cons on each model.

They should make a R34 Front with R33 Behind.. mmmm

Yea what Joe said get a R33 GTR :)

If id had to get another car again, id get a Stockish R33 GTR. Dont like the notion of having a modified car, as you wont be able to "learn" or "know" what has been done to it.

The pathway of modding is fun and never ending + $$$$$ lol

Thanks guys, dOOdz your right about the $$$ situation, and I guess I do need to learn about cars so if I get a stock one its more or less better for me. If i find a nice 33 GTR ill get one but i need to limit what I like.

NI 33 your right it's hard one to decide I fallen in love with S15s for now

will be a tuff decision for you and me.

Sif S15. Too urgh

Well getting a stocker will cost $$$$ to mod, prolly more than buying a modded one already. But it will be interesting.

Id get a stocker with nice rims and exhaust. Screw the body kit do that your self when the car is modified/finished modified.

OOOo I got a fully sik car which looks nice but goes as fast as the speed of my lil cousin's push bike w00t!

I was in the same boat a few months back, tossing up between r34 or s15 :)

I went the s15 simply cause they look dam sexy, less fuel than my line, but still has balls and a nissan badge.

From use to owning a r33, there is definately differences you can tell:

*s15 has abit more lag compared to the r33 setup, but then again my r33 was 211rwkw on the std turbo, and still need to PFC my s15... hehe. Some s15 such as the specr and jap specs come with the BB turbo.

*S15 came std with ABS which is always a good thing, but the r34 does too :(

*The s15 tends to have abit more in cabin rattles than the 33, but overall the s15 is still comfy inside

*Less fuel with the s15, although mine is running pretty rich at the moment, still less fuel than the r33

*Dont have to lug around passangers that want to sit in the rear in the s15.. they look at the space and realise they rather take the bus :( haha...

*The rear end of the s15 is dam light compared to a 33 or 34... so watch out when it gets wet, but the rear feels heaps more controllable than the 33 did...

*Less spark plugs to purchase when im doing a plug change :( less hassle too as the piping going to the intake on the rb25 can be a hassle for plug changes

*S15's have that annoying VCT rattle when you start up sometimes for about 20secs... sounds gay, but you learn to live with it....

Finally, ive attatched a pic of my s15 for reference and how low it sits :(

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
