With what I've built i could of easily afforded the R34 GTR, still could, but I don't want one.

far enough. everyone has there own opions. youv made a pretty cool machine there. good on ya mate.

i prefer 4wd over rwd tho. and yours with the motor youv put in it, do u get traction at all ?.

What an amazingly stupid comparision.

Although I'm hardly suprised, good one champ. :)

well a stupid statement from you gets a stupid reply....... end of story

i can go on forever as well

a modified BMW 318i will never be a genuine BMW M3 no matter what yo do

as well as a commodore VE... will not become a Clubsport GTS

you can go on all you like about your mods....and act all spiteful. but at the end of the day the GT-R could be moded in a simillar fashion with more potential for power, more credibility, looks 100 times better & the top of the line Skyline.

OK so youve built nearly a completely new car........theres pulsar SSS's out there that run 9 secs... its just a quick pulsar SSS

Not suprised at your latest reply, makes me lol.

I never wanted my car to be a GTR, so your comments are nul, zip, nada. I'm not spiteful, my car is better than a R34 GTR IMO. You sound like you've been spanked by a gtst/gtt and are upset.

Hha this is exactly what im on about and why i wanted to stroke my 34 rather than buy a GT-R...

Any old tom dick or harry with the money can buy a GT-R (and lets face it, they arnt THAT expensive for what you get that is true) but i'd rather spend the time building my car from the ground up knowing everything that goes in....the time the labour the parts pretty much the blood sweat and tears to get a greater self satisfaction out of driving it ont he road later.

Yeh this option comes with more highs and lows considering when you crash and things go wrong you tend to pay harder than anyone else. But people choose this option exactly because of that, you learn new things, your car grows in character over time and you meet new people in the industry.

Simply put, by the time my car is finished and is at the outcome i want it to be at, it will be faster, stop harder and look better than the majority of GT-R owners out here in oz.

My wide bodykit is now completed and i am going to pick up my car to send to get painted now :P once this is all finished its time to shove those 6 piston Project Mu brake kit up front and 4 pistons rear kit...redo the suspension put in my GT-R MFD and then look at whos going to build my engine.

For those who understand what i mean there would be no argument....for those who don't...and say youll always want the GT-R over a GTS-T/GTT etc etc....it comes down to time/preference/mullaaaah $$$. Most would be satisfied with a GT-R, im not...And i could have bought a GT-R but whats the point if you are going to rebuild/replace everything in it anyhow?? It just becomes virtually a rolling shell.

And yes i like both RWD and AWD...no bias against that..its just optioned...can easily make a GTT AWD....

I have nothing against GTTs or GTSTs. My point was that if your going to modify the car why not start off with a better base. One of the reasons I hardly modified my GTST was because I couldn't see the point in spending shitloads to end up at the same point as a lightly modded GTR. Everyone has a different opinion when it comes to modifying which is great but just because people have a different opinion doesn't mean its any less valid. This goes both ways. Spend the same money modifying a GTR as you will spend on the GTT and see where you end up.

Or you could buy a gtst/gtt, spend what makes up to a gtr, and have a better car rather than a stock gtr.

So now you end up with a heavily modded gtst/gtt, or a stock gtr for the same price...hmm what would i choose?

My setup with a VQ i could of brought a stock good condition gtr.. instead i built my gtt, with 30,000 kms, immaculate, perfect and i built it, put blood, sweat and tears into it, and have a much better package than a stock gtr for the same price. I win I think. :P

Couldn't of said it better myself, I'd rather be unique than just another GTR.

dude. how wrong are you. you said ur bought ur car for lets say 24 gz ?

you could of brought a r33 gtr. or buy an r32 gtr for around the 16 mark (depending on where u find it and condition) build it up to the price u bought ur r34 gtt at. and haha biggg difference. ITS impossible to compare a gtt to a gtr. there is no competition when it comes down to it. eeiko and beelze are exactly right. your comparing 2 different cars

and yours with the vq30 in it. would of cost you a fair bit on just buying the engine and fitting it. and i bet u, youd still be put on show from a gtr. so i think your the one whos been spanked by a gtr and are upset over it.

no way in the world is it ever "better"

its a totally different class....no matter how much KW your running. and plus it still looks like dogs balls exterior wise...

what your talking about is basically a Mitsubishi Lancer..... youve thrown in a Turbo with a bigger motor...... & other mods....

it a "lancer".......................... and thats all that it will ever be... it will never be an evo

if you dont want to be "ANOTHER" GT-R...... (which are pretty rare, i see more Aston martins DB9's, Vanquish and Vantages than i do with the BNR34)

then you shouldve done up a datsun and try to stand out....

thankyou.....................

its more like he can never affford one.........

a 19 yr old guy driving a GTT who claims to own a house and in the navy and a mechanic. Even if he sold his petty car he wont buy a decent BNR34

even if a GT-R R34 does get spanked by a Nissan Pulsar or something inferior...... at the end of the day.... who cares?!... theres no shame in losing that race because there WAS no competition between the cars in the first place.........................

LMAO. yes ur right.

im 19 i own a gtr. but i dont own a house. plus his build would of cost him a fair bit.like you said. compare the money spent on one. and put it on the gtr. and u will see the difference. whether it be drags,track, looks, anything

    • There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
    • Haha I do that.. thats when it chirps..The bit point for me is almost non-existent. Otherwise I stall it. But yes, in terms of performance, the clutch is solid af.
    • Greg speaks wisdom. These dirty old Datsuns are only value when they are cheap. When they are not cheap, there is no value. Sounds contradictory, but it's true. We are now 20 years past the hey day of modifying cheap 90s JDM cars for small amounts of money. This is a different world. If you are rich and can afford not to care about what is effectively wasting money on an old Datto shitter, then I have no reason to argue against it. But if you are wanting to experience what we all experienced back in 2005 (and I bought my car last century!) then there is no way to do it.
    • Short answer: No. Medium answer: No, because you still need to conjure the things out of thin air to bolt them to a NA to make it a NA+T. Long Answer: No - The things you need to conjure - meaning a turbo, intercooling, manifolds, exhaust, intake/manifold/piping, clutch, injectors, fuel pump, AFM (?), ECU + Wiring (woo, N/A loom fun) have to come from somewhere. You could have many scavenged these things from an OEM car that someone had upgraded from and use some of these. This will be cost prohibitive now, especially so in the USA. You'd probably pay the same for newer, upgraded components that are better than old OEM stuff from 25-30 years ago. None of these big ticket items are re-usable for the N/A car. Why not buy new and upgrade while you're there? The only real consideration is turbo and fuel sizing and determining whether you want to stay within the bounds of the OEM engine or get into rebuild territory. These limits ARE lower with a N/A motor and especially N/A gearbox at the starting point. And if you're gonna upgrade those then you may as well consider having them built to begin with. Because everyone here knows you're never far from that next engine rebuild once you start making the power you want... The cars you see on the internet and SAU etc have been built over decades. If you're really clued in... you would sell your US car to somebody for what you paid for it. You would then scour AU JDM pages or SAU and buy a car like Dose's on this forum with your powerful American Dollar. This will save you so much money in the long term. Importing it could be tricky. Or it might not because USA. I have long said the only reason 90's Japanese stuff took off was because a) Japanese people had Japanese cars so that is what they used b) Australians could import these cars to Australia with very minimal changes and use them on the road here c) Neither country had well-priced access to US or EU Sports Cars. I don't believe the JDM scene would have taken off in Australia at all if we had EU priced EU BMW M offerings, or more especially the AUS V8 Scene would never have existed if we had the multitude of US cars like Camaros, Mustangs, Corvettes at the prices you folks do. After all - Do the math. I would say put a V8 in your R34 and that's the smart way forward. It is. I did it. I know this from my own experience. But at that point there's no reason to simply not buy a C5 or C6? It would be simpler and easier and cheaper and bette-
    • Reading all this... hurts lol. I have an ENR34 5MT and I paid an inflated USA price for the car alone, had to do tons of preventative maintenance past that, and so I'm over $30K USD into the car already and haven't even touched power.  I wanted to +t it. Not even trying to make GTR numbers, I'd be happy with 250hp.  Can I get away with paying much less to make that happen?
