my current car is a 92 180SX with mods, tuned to 240rwkw. had it for nearly 4 years and after thousands of $$$ got it the way i want.

ive imported an R34 skyline from japan, bayside blue, sunroof, 01 model (see 'for sale cars' section).

is it time for a change? ive had my fun with performance and power. i wouldnt mind a nice, late model popular car to just cruise in, as i dont really intend on doing up my next car.

help me decide, thanks.

If it were me i'd get rid of the 180. The 34 is much more recent model, still fairly uncommon today (campared to 180) and if your lookin more towards a car to cruise in, then it sounds like the more obvious choice to keep. Plus with the way petrol is going, a 240rwkw machine is gunna really hurt!

Go the 34.

It suits what you've said you want from your next car perfectly, plus even in stock form it still has plenty of punch.

And that aside, it's a 2001 model, it's Bayside Blue, it has the factory Nismo kit, and it has a factory sunroof. That's just about the rarest spec combination of a GT-t I can think of, I'd love to have one just like it for my next car. Basically I'd hang onto it if I were you :)

Your asking a Skyline forum about which car to keep :)

No doubt if you posted this on NissanSilvia they'll say keep the 180.

Keep the skyline, so much newer, so much hotter. Harvest all the parts off the 180 that you can and you'll still be able to sell it for a handsome price.

youre right, it would be a bias answer coming from this forum!

my main concerns with the skyline are fuel consumption and rego. but i guess a stock one would probably be the same as what the 180 is now. and rego is what, $180/3mths now? plus i dont owe anything on the 180, and keeping the skyline would increase my debts a bit.

i cant spend money on the skyline to get 240rwkw now like i did the 180, i bought a house not long ago. so its time to calm down.

thanks for the input ppl, much appreciated.

That is one of the more nicer modded 180's I've ever seen (Here or Japan) Those rims are f**kin hot!

Do not sell it dude.. You will regret it no doubt.

I say sell the 34 and invest in something small and gay.. 34's are'nt exactly individual or holding their value anymore

Ok no bias here...I own a 34 and also S13...been thinking of getting rid of the S13 but it has too much sentimental value...but if really had to make a choice it would definately be the 34 to keep :devil:

Took me a while to work out who you were - der!! It's me Kristian - keep the 34! Wait till it gets here and you drive it, then make your mind up - that is probably your best bet. Not far away now.

I think it depends on what type of driver you are.

Personally as much as I love Skylines I would keep the 180sx :)

EDIT: Just read the above thread, arghhh! Sorry to hear dude - Hope you get it back :(

      ER34 AT ECU and HKS SLD pins

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

      Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.

      Rear suspension upgrades

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.

      What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
