It has come to my attention that i may have the ability to purchase a new car at the end of the year, just wondering what everyones opinions are on the two and which they would go for and why, ive narrowed it down to these two as there is nothing else in the price range that really interests me, and have absolutely no clue which i would prefer i love both.

Ne help?

Cheers

John

I will closer to the time if it is definately gonna happen. just trying to formulate some opinions at the moment. Do car yards let P platers take cars for test drives?

S15200sxbroda: I searched but there is nothing really relative to this.

haha, see i feel the same way, ive driven an s15 and they feel awesome, a bit lighter then my current car, but i havent driven a 34 yet, im leaning slightly towards the 34 but still not totally sure and dont want to regret what i buy.

MR R32: I'm unsure whether u were having a chop at me, but im not ashamed to say my grandparents will be hepling me out with this purchase if it happens. I worked really hard for the car i have now, and paid for most of the car stock form and pretty much all the mods. Im proud of what i have and dont take it for granted. Please dont judge me if u havent even met me.

suits me more?? can u elaborate on that.

Isurance is about the same for both cars for me, so thats not a huge issue. R34's r still fairly rare aswell, i just dont know how long its gonna stay that way.

cheers for the comments, keep em coming!

Ok...

Your on your P-plates right? The S15, in my opinion, would suit a P-plater more because they`ve got less power.... well.... until you modify it.... a-heh... :D

difficult decison huh, im goin' thru that phase at the moment as well, but im kinda leaning towards the s15 tho, everything works out easier for me, e.g insurance, 2L(petrol, maintenance), etc.

sum how the r34 without the flared guards turns me off a bit from it, but somewhat it is a mad car in its own..

If the s15 is anything like the 13 (chassis wise) it will handle like a go kart while the 'line is less forgiving. This means thats its a safer car if u lose the back end but it will make u wanna do more stupid things in it aswell. Cmon we all do stupid things at one time or another.

S15= short sprints, high revving, all up a really "go hard" car. Easy to up the p[ower substantailly with just an exhaust.

r34= long country drives with power to get up and go on the freeway and in the city. Plus ure chances of fitting someone in the back are a bit higher but probably still not practical. U should buy a HSV:D

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
