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

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
