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....)

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

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

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
