S2000 FTW...

or yes Type-R

then when the P Plater thing you NSW guys have is over, get a GTST or GT-T then, maybe even a GTR depending on however funds permit...

i was heaps impatient importing my GT-T... if i waited another month or two i reckon i could have paid the same amount and got a heaps better one...

my2c anyway, it's only worth 2c lol

Did we not just have a thread on this?

Did we not reach a decision in the last thread?

Are the 2 34's not the same?

Quick rundown.

34 is better than 33.

NA Supra is too Heavy to be a solid NA (In my opinion)

Autech S15 is fat too expensive and the last thing you want to do at a young age is bury urself in debit

Buy an NA S13, 1.8L MX5, Type R instead.

Even though a Supra is "too heavy", NA Supras will always own an NA Skyline lol.... (learnt from experience....)

its like sex on the beach :)

IMO, i dont like NA supra's, to chunky looking.

Go for a R33 and R34, your already at our forums, so you might aswell *IMPULSE buy* HAHA, but nah man, do whatchu want we'll only give you advice, the deision is still upto u.

hah i was going to look at a type R but my bro would absolutely kill me he wanted to buy one for so long, ended up with a accord euro.. in about 2 months i should be able to get my loan and then ill be a part of the fray.

Been going through all the posts and yeh R34 just wins ova the 33

also alotta wogs just ruin the 33's a bit for me and being Italian i gotta break away from the whole woggishness 20 inch chromies = gay

Thanks guys just wanted some reassurance on my decision.. wish me luck!

OMG Thank god for this thread. just the thread i was looking for.

Anways. Hi all. I'm new to this forum. basically my story is that i've been saving hard for 6 months now and i've got money from savings to buy either a N/A R34 or an Autech S15. But the problem is that i seriously DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO GET! I've just been swinging for months now deciding on which car to get. To be honest, im just looking for a powerful N/A car which can give some punch. looking at the specs and power to weight ratio online. it seems the Autech S15 is more powerful. after seeing what cuff3m posted earlier, i'm leaning towards the Autech S15. I've actually never had the chance to test drive both cars so i don't know how good they are. Could you guys please give me some suggestions, Im very confused. :D

Thanks, Mingy.

BIASED opinion,

R34, love it, spacey and damn smooth but powerful ride.

As ive said before, i would go for a NA S15, only time i would go for a S15 is if its a SPECR.

Seen too many s15's around, not many NA 34's, atleast in mah hood :blink:.

I've test driven both.

In short, the Autech S15 is a superior car, but I couldn't justify paying the cost of a Spec R for a naturally aspirated variant.

The Skyline is a physically bigger car. Yes, I know it is obvious, but it becomes apparent when you drive it.

For what its worth, I've owned an S13 Onevia with an S14 SR20DE swap, and also a S13 Silvia Ks CA18DET, so I'm used to cars in the power range of an Autech or Skyline.

Thanks for the reply. yeah i see what your saying. the only reason why im getting a n/a is because for obvious reasons, stuck on Ps.

i was leaning towards the n/a r34 but found out that its heavy thus power to weight isn't that great. i heard that the n/a 34s is a petrol eater & not far off from the turbo version (someone correct me if im wrong?). so i guess i'm taking the autech......... :thumbsup:

if you drive normally on an N/a and a turbo

the turbo will definitely consume less petrol (from experience)

but... wehn u begin to hit boost... dont those vtec just happen to be next to you?

haha n/a are actually ok, im getting around ... 10L --> but i can tell my car running a bit rich.

but i drive like a grandma. nothing over 2500 rpm hahahhah

see ya lads!

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
