Nah... mate of mine got an S15, and seriously you'd be happy with either cars - they're both very good cars. But I find the 34 more of a livable day to day... I often carry alot of gear, and passengers, plus I prefer a 6 cylinder.

Has the S15 got harder suspension? I do believe they are a more 'fun' car than a Skyline. Just not as roomy. If you can call any Skyline coupe roomy.

Probably a little bit firmer, but both were an equally soggy stock set up. Might be a little more fun to throw around the S15 I must admit, the seating position is also lower on the S15. But the Skyline is does feel alot roomier - the S15 felt a little claustrophobic to me, the interior space was probably on par or less than my previous car which was an N13 Exa.

I'd have to agree with andz69 though. If i were in your position, i'd keep the 05 wrx - they're nice rides and you won't see much performance advantages going to either the S15 or the R34 gtt. Get a GTR if you really wanna trade up.

If you like AWD keep the rex, you will probably be quicker in it because of this. If you want RWD (or IMO a real sports car) test drive the two and then decide. I use to have an JDM s15 and picked up a 33 4 days ago, i'm still deciding which one i like better. The skyline is better day to day though for sure, but the great ocean road will be the test.

Also the JDM s15 had extra 30kw, factory boost gauge, digital climate control, rear wiper, folding mirrors, different badging, different colored interior trim, no gay reflectors on the rear bar, different tail lights, xenon headlights, and a 180km/h speedo. There may be some other minor ones.

I'm sick of it...

i might regret it in the future, but meh...i wanna do what my heart tells me to do.

And do all S15's come with xenons? I thought the GTT comes with Xenons as well.

Does he GTT have climate control or is it just AC?

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
