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....)

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!

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
