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?

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! :)

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
