what are the pros and cons of//////

NA supra and r34 gt/ gt4( rb25de)

i dont want any other posts about other types of cars.

i just want to hear your ideas as i have my own and heard my friends ideas about them.

just post pros/cons of the car you have driven and why you would prefer it.

thanks guys!! :rofl:

i was a supra fan along time ago. but since i got back from japan the skyline prices have dropped and im really indterested in them

also s15 type s non turbo.... are around the same price....

supra 3L 6c NA 220hp 164kw

r34 2.5L 6c NA 193hp 142kw

s15 2L 4c NA 165hp 125Kw

ive heard r34 chew more petrol than the supra... how can this be true? 3L vs 2.5L :rofl:

soz double post

It's almost impossible to get an NA S15 here in Australia. The only NA S15 you'll find in Australia are those which have been converted or someone has brought them in as a personal import.

I can't really say which one would be better because I've never actually driven any of them before.

theres a few s type s15's

probably personal imports.but there all imports anyway so whats the probelm?haha

i will brobably go for the r34. 2nd is the s15. but NA s15 will be slow so i wont waste my cash.

Its very easier to see how a 3L uses less fuel then a 2.5. Anyone here ever owned a L series powered nissan or datsun? You might as well own a V8 for the fuel they used. Its to do with the way they deliver their power, how they are cam'd etc. Lots of factors but yes.

As for peak power its a bad guide in my book. A good area under the graph (so to speak) in the HP curve could make a car with alot less HP be a faster car as it has more grunt available initially and over the entire rev range rather then peaking. Knew a Mx5. Had the flatest power graph I've ever seen. Great track car. Horrible drag car. Pends on the style your after.

Supras have no boot as opposed to the R34. I know it sounds stupid now but you want to take a special someone away a boot is something you need. Actually like the look of the supra over the R34. Thats about where my knowledge ends.

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
