I was talking standard turbos on both cars. Both cars will make similar power but the S15 is almost 250kg lighter.

By the same token you'll have to swap the injectors, the intercooler and need a powerfc to get that power figure on the SR20.

You'd almost get that sort of power from an R34 GTT just by upping the boost and leaving the rest alone. Leeman clocked just over 200rwkw with just a Greddy Boost Controller at 12psi on stock everything.

In White will look much nicer...

White looks great on them

From what i have read and from what i have driven, the R34 GTT is the pick from the S15 however if someone has the $$$ an GTR will be the ultimate.

Have you driven a GTR yet?

You can go spastic on them or just a few nice bits, eg;

spastic;

forged rods

forged pistons

head baffles

sump baffles

jun/n1 oil pump

n1 water pump

044 fuel pump

600cc injectors

nismo FPR

new turbo/s (easy $2500 there)

twin/triple plate clutch

gearset (when you smash the stocker)

better radiator

better FMIC

new ECU

exhaust

headwork, cams + cam gears

=a fair bit and a SHITload of power (easy 350awkw)

few nice bits;

new ECU

exhaust

EBC at 15 psi

clutch (if you like launching)

=not much at all, that on mine did 262 rwkw so it went fast enough to get around - dont forget with awd you get all the power to the ground

Good luck with it all

Hey Guys,

As most of you knew, I owned an R33 S2 GTSt with 200rw/kw for quite a few years and now almost 6 months driving a 2005 Pulsar Q I’m itching for a new power toy.

Basically I would LOVE an R34 GTR however its way out of my budget ($23,000) and so I have been test driving the following:

R32 GTR

Pros: Twin Turbo + 4WD + Excellent handling + Cheap (under $20,000)

Cons: 15 yr old + Most in poor condition + will need lots of $$$ for restoration (paint, interior .etc.)

S15 Jap Spec

Pros: New (current) shape + gorgeous interior + light weight + SR20DET (easier and cheaper to mod then RB's)

Cons: RWD (traction issues) + needs big work for big power

R34 GTT

Pros: New shape + Nice interior + Easy to get big power + Excellent handling

Cons: RWD (traction issues) + Heavy

I personally love the look of the the S15 and the R32 GTR but love the drive of the R34 GTT...

My question:

In regards to value for money and response to performance mods, which of these three cars should I go for?

NOTE: This will be a weekend car ONLY

Please feel free to comment

Regards,

Sarkis

Valid comparison although to say s15 has a gorgeous interior and GTT has nice interior is probably the wrong way round if not overstating both.

I like the s15's looks on the outside but since a worked SR20 sounds like pus I have to have an RB.

The costs in keeping the GTR running and modded are high.

I am biased towards the GTT since I have one although I did this same comparo when I bought it, albiet with a larger amount of money involved.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
