now i know the topic has been covered alot but i haven't seen anything on the s15 autech (non turbo). i'm really into both & so far the only thing i can put apart from them is the price. s15 being more expensive & autech's insurance is nothing less than scary. love them both but & 4 s15s vs 2 r34s one a gt the other gt4. i dunno. come to a dead end in a way.

anyone had experience with any of these models? how'd you rate them? i tried to join ns.com but it wouldn't work after several attempts i gave up.

so far it stands as:

r34, cheaper yet i want to mod it more.

s15, realistically too expensive to add to & quite happy with a stock autech anyway.

being p-plater them only engine mods would have to be internal or atleast well hidden but more sound (cat back) & cosmetic mods for now. wouldn't go hardout trying to get power from na anyway but yeah.

the s15s i've found are $18000-$21990 whereas the 34 is $14500-$20990.

also, why are there so many auto r34s? manuals are heaps hard to find now in na form. =/

work out your budget... can u afford to buy and insure the car... and maintain that insurance every year when it comes up for renewal... service and maintence wise it wouldnt be to bad..

personally i would get the s15

i own an autech s15. the stock power would rape r34 gt. but for your own benefit go for the r34. its a cheaper car and insurance too. the non-turbo r34's power is decent too. you'll still outrun average cars out there. if you get the autech your going to want to mod it so its not such a good idea. if your still persistent then i have one up for sale but its gonna cost ya. :) cheers

The battle begins.

Mingy shh. I only see autechs in my rear view, i eat you alive lmao!

But to tell you the truth, not much difference, i love them both.

both have a sexy new interior, both are real sporty, both have the grunt to back up the looks.

SR20 and RB25 are open to sooooo many list of mods, its endless.

If looking for a NA R34, find manual.. spend the time and find one like i did. You wont regret it ever.

Mingy, im looking for you lols!

See yah on the track some day :)

LOL. we should actually meet up cos i'm curious to see the difference between our cars. we have the exact same power but you have more torque and at the same time my cars 120kgs lighter.

i was actually on the same boat as you. i chose between n/a 33,34 and autech. i obviously ended up with the autech and you with the r34. so yeah gimme a pm with your details. cheers

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
