Hey wondering if i can get some knowledgeable opinions...

First of all, just so you know im talking about non-modified, turbo, automatic examples...

I had an r34 for a few months before a taxi hit me from behind and wrote it off...

Ive test driven a few r33's in my time and I cant help but feel that they are more responsive engine wise, dare i say they feel faster. May just be my impressions...

Also I was under the impression that the r34 used less fuel than the r33... is this true? I noticed when i had my r34 that fuel consumption was reasonably high.

Basically I have 18k to spend... I could get a nice r33 for 12k and spend the extra money on alarms, a front bar, rear bar, dvd player, or whatever. Or i could get another r34 for about 16k, basic model and not really be able to afford any luxuries for it.

What is your opinion? Thanks :D

as you said if you get r33 you can spend money on other things, unless its a series 2 you will need a body kit IMO, but R34 looks fine stock !

As far as fuel economy goes the NEO is supposed to be more efficient, and the 34 has more power so should be faster, but i havent driven either so cant speak of which feels more responsive. Maybe someone with experience in both can shed some light on if the 34 has slightly more lag ?

a 34 WILL beat a 33, but if you just want to feel like your going fast, then if it turns out a 33 is more responsive maybe thats better for you ?

basically i think if youve had a 34 before and your having to second guess it maybe you really want the 33 so you can do more stuff to it, so perhaps that is your answer ? :D

Hey mate,

bummer about the first r34. We've seeing r34 sales definitely outnumbering r33 sales lately, but if you can find a mint 33 that might be a good option for you. We've got an auto coupe turbo 34 coming in, selling for $14,900 after compliance (wholesale price). more info on our ebay page.

basically the body is pretty different, so choose whichever one you prefer lookswise. You can get great performance out of either.

cheers,

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
