: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 :(

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
