Way better choice, build quality on the R34 is much better than the S15's (and their dodgy stagea A/C setup) there is a pretty good reason why back in 1998 a brand new top-spec S15 cost less than the bottom spec R34 in Japan :cool:

Yeh R34's benefit interior wise alot by the triple cluster.

Search around on here and you will pick one up for around $150 bucks. Then wire in some of your own gauges (oil pressure, volts, air/fuel etc) and it will spice up the R34 interior for a few humdred bucks.

The NA 34s look stupid because there is a big empty patch in the middle of the dash

would you think it could be DIY or should i send it in. it was indeed one of the first things i wanted to do haha. yeah i know what you mean. it's very... empty there. $150? that's very cheap. the main thing holding me back was justjap's price. although i'd probably still purchase it ;)

at first i didn't notice it but during the testdrive once we got to even poorer quality roads than sydney usually has on offer you notice an odd, tinny feel to it.

not to mention has better brakes, suspension, LOOKS. etc etc. i know what you mean =/

stupid, stupid laws. just set the insurance better. $1153 premium. much better. think all up it's 1k if something happens?

if you pay 6k for insurance it must be said your a goose lol..

Buy something cheap and economical and wait till ur off ur Ps

or..

Insure the car under ur parents name and pay a higher excess if you smash it so on so forth!

Negative about this is your rating will not move!

decidied to put it through for parents for atleast the first year probably will go through them for the first two. for pretty much $1k. then put it in mine once more experienced & all that. yeah it was gonna be $4.7 for me in my name, a bit rough really. then again the excess was quite low. figured it'd be better in mum's name haha. comparing the two excess' this premium + the excess under mum's name still works out cheaper haha.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
