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

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
