This is my dilemna...whether to get a 34 GTR at the end of the year or an S15

I like the idea of the GTR cos its solid as a rock, pretty damn off its tits to begin with, and most of all: its AWD

Problem with it is its damn expensive to buy in the first place :)

The S15 is my other option

I like that because its driftalicious, Can pump out 300rwkw with about 10-15k of mods(so Ive heard) and its much cheaper to buy in the first place

The only thing I can say against it is that it isnt all paw....but that isnt necessarily such a bad thing :D

What do you guys think? and why?

um - aren't they like at like opposite sides of the scale?

you'll be pushing to get 300rwkw out of an S15 without major internal work, but 250rwkw is probably pretty achieveable. It would be definitely fun, but it wouldn't be a GTR. Depends how much money you want to lose i guess - with depreciation and all..

lolz.. sam u really need to take a ~200rwkw RWD for a drive in the wet and you'll see why it can lose its fun pretty quickly :) but then again it can also be fun at the same time, so either way.

..depends how much hassle free living you want too. You'd never just drive an R34 GTR around town, leave it at a shopping centre, all that sort of thing, you'd just be worried some idiot would do something to it, either accidentally or even deliberately (there are some right #$%DFDS out there). So think of the stresses involved, never mind the $6k-$10k insurance bill ?? So much of the time you'd probably be leaving it in the garage? Not much fun in that. Even a $20k skyline you get stressed about, never mind a 70k+ one.

S15 you could thrash around, lose a couple of panels :D, pick 'em up from Nissan locally, try and snap the diff, determine at what speed the handbrake snaps, all the fun things like that, and then after a hard days workout, bang in the back all night long and not worry in the world :)

*** im going to dirty ho bitch slap u with a fat camel **** if u put the R34 GTR in contention with an S15... S15 is so not even in the same sentence even if that sentence was "omg that S15 is shit compared to the R34 GTR" cause its common knowledge and need not be mentioned in the presence of the king!!

closing thread...

i say if you want a good car, gtr...i mean if you are considering it, you probably can afford it right? even if you have to wait a bit longer. just look at them, s15 is a nice looking car, but thats about it..."a nice looking car" isnt what i see when i look at a 34 gtr...i see a ****ing awesome car, that is mean and serious performance

and it makes me get all testosterone(sp) infected and i just want to do a big "tim allen"...AAARRGGGHHH

plus you owe me a drive in a skyline!

seriously...what were you thinking?

even a hks 2530 is good for up to 270rwkw's, i know coz i wnat one in the future.  hehe

:)

not on a gts-t in single form, in twin setup on a gtr yes very easily.

Sam u have lots of $$ so just get both, the S15 as a daily driver, and the 34GTR for the weekends and track days! :)

    • Yeah nice idea, you mean to suction it to the gauges? I hadn't thought of that.
    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.
