I'd personally take the r35. Not a big fan of European cars. All the way from electricals to cars i like Japanese.

People always say european cars are so much better built but from my experience thats not the case. My uncles got a BMW fwd and a nissan 4wd and hes driven the BMW only acouple of times because its always having problems and it's always in the repair station. My brothers Saab had a accident from behind and all it's seat belts, computers just went. Let's say your porches does take more redlines and crap, it's gana give in one day and when it does haha good luck fixing it. Part for euro cars are so0o0o expansive you'll wish you had the gtr and it broke down every week:P they are very over rated.

I also have a lot of respect for nissan and other Japanese car manufacturers for trying to make performance cars available to a larger population of people not just the extremely rich. Japans come such a long way and they'll still keep on getting better.

I feel r35 gtr is a lot more modest aswell which i really like.

Oh and the only times i see gt2 and gt3 porches on the street is on weekends and public holidays cause theyre not a very good get around car. I have a feeling r35 will be a lot more comfertable to drive as a daily driver.

I personally love r34 GTR and all other GTR's, and not because i wont be able afford any better but because i genuine really respect and think highly of them.

I'm not being too fair on Porche. But you guys werent being too fair on Nissan ither:P

If i could ever find one of these z-tunes i'd take it over a gt3 any day!:laugh:

Do track days in it :santa:

Something doesn't need to be the quickest to be the most enjoyable. I don't like computer controlled cars as much as I do raw cars with the option of turning off all electronics.

A '73 RS would be a lot slower than any of the cars mentioned on the track, but I'd take one over near on anything given the chance.

Could not have said it any better myself. The R35 shape has grown on me but its not pretty. It is functional. If paying that sort of money i want something more then functional....even if it is crazy fun. For me a car that you can get in and drive at 9/10s almsot from day one will get boring or reaching for your wallet very quickly.

Right now i can get the idea of a Lotus Elise/Exige (NA) with a turbo kit out of my head. That shows the sort of cars i like as versatile street /track cars. 900kg 1.8L fuel economy and tyre conservation all whilst having a ball at the track driving the thing and being respectfully quick

I felt GTR would have more fans than this. Do you guys reckon it will end up selling successfully?

Hope so, from all reports it is a brilliant car. But I've wondered for a long time what market segment it is aimed at, perhaps its more a car for the US market.

I'd prefer a car like the new 370ZX but turbocharged, for doing sprints/time attack stuff, which is what I do now in an old Z car. Porsches are way overpriced and I think often its more about 'hey look at me I can afford this car' than anything else, its just a pity that some Jap manufacturer has not built a similar type of car but with the engine in the right place. They already have suitable engines.....

I guess 370z is better in the sense that it'll be cheaper so more convenient for racing but you'll get better lap times in the GTR:)

For now, the Porsche is the way. Prob will be next car also (boxster, as others way more expensive), unless I decide to go for an updated V35. If discarding the budget, GT3 would be above R35 on my list, even though more expensive. When R35 comes to Aus, I'll rethink it. So far, the fact that I can't read jap and half of the features don't work on my screen turns me off.

I wasn't thinking of the 370Z as being cheaper/more convenient, my preferance is for RWD and developing a car with potential for better performance. Anyone can walk into a showroom and buy lap times. But if that was the objective a GT-R could kick lots of P car arse, as they have done for years, eg http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results..../2008.MOUN.S4.Y :)

Going by this thread there are lots of wannabe PP's around though, the myth lives on :banana:

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
