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

    • Back again. I returned to Japan in Jul/Aug to spend time with the car on my birthday and remind myself what all the sacrifice and compromise is for. It happened to line up with the monthly morning meet in Okutama, which I have been wanting to go to for a long time. It's a unique event at a unique spot with really rare, interesting, and quirky cars. It's where all the oldheads and OGs gather. The nighttime scene at DKF certainly has its place and should be experienced if you're into cars, but there's too much bad attention and negativity around it now. IMO the better time is Sunday morning at DKF or Okutama; it's more chill and relaxed. I'm glad I was finally able to go, but not sure it's worth the drive from all the way from Nagoya immediately the day before, unless I was already staying in Tokyo for the days right before the meet, because you have to wake up quite early to make it in time. Funnily enough though I didn't drive the car all that much this trip because it was just too damn hot. While there were zero issues and running temps were nominal and the A/C was strong, RBs already run crazy hot as it is. Sure, it took it all like a champ but something about driving these cars in the ridiculous heat/humidity bothers me and makes me feel like I'm asking too much of it. I'm just me being weird and treating the car like a living thing with feelings; I'm mechanically sympathetic to a fault. Instead I was mainly driving something else around - a KX4(silver) 2001 X-Trail GT, that I acquired in May. There's a few different flavors to choose from with Xs, but visually it's the Nissan version of the Honda CR-V. Mechanically it's a whole different story as this, being the top-trim GT, has an SR20VET mated to a four-speed auto and full-time AWD! It was a very affordable buy in exceptional condition inside and out, with very low mileage...only 48k kms. Most likely it was owned by an older person who kept it garaged and well-maintained, so I'm really happy with how it all worked out. It literally needs zero attention at the moment, albeit except for some minor visual touch-ups. I wanted something quirky, interesting, and practical and for sure it handily delivers on all three of those aspects. I was immediately able to utilize the cargo and passenger capacity to its full extent. It's a lot of fun to drive and is quite punchy through 1st and 2nd. It's very unassuming -in the twisty bits it's a lot more composed than one would think at a glance- and it'll be even better once I get better tires on it(yes, it's an SUV but still a little boat-y for my liking). So...now I have two golden-era Nissans in silver. One sports car and one that does everything else; the perfect two-car solution I think👍 The rest of the trip...I was able to turn my stressed brain off and enjoy it, although I didn't quite get to do as much as I thought. I did some interesting things, met some interesting people, and happened into some interesting situations however, that's all for another post though only if people really want to know. Project-wise, I went back to Mine's again to discuss more plans and am hoping to wrap that up real soon; keep watching this space if that interests you. Additionally, while working in the tormenting sweatbox that is the warehouse, I was able to organize most of the myriad of parts that my friend is storing for me along with the cars, and the 34 has a nice little spot carved out for it: And since it can get so stupid hot in there, that made it all the more easy -after I was standing there looking at the car and said 'f**k it'- to finally remove all the damn gauges that have mostly been an eyesore all this time. Huzzah. The heat basically makes the adhesive backing on the gauge mounts more pliable to work with, so it was far less stressful getting this done. I didn't fully clean it up or chase the wiring though; that will happen once I have the car in closer possession. Another major reason to remove all that stuff is to give people less reasons to get in my car and steal s**t while it's being exported/imported when/if the time comes, which leads us to my next point... ...and that is even though it's time in Japan is technically almost up since it's a November car and the X would be coming in March, I'm still not entirely sure where my life and career is headed; I don't really know what the future looks like and where I'm going to end up. I feel there's a great deal of uncertainty with me and as a result of that, it feels like I'm at a crossroads moreso now than any point in my life thus far and there are some choices I need to make. Yes, I've had some years to consider things and prepare myself, however too much has happened in that time to maintain confidence and everything feels so up in the air; tenuous one might say. Simply put, there's just too much nonsense going on right now from multiple vectors. Admittedly, I'm struggling to stay in the game and keep my eyes on the prize. So much so in fact, that very recently I came the closest I ever have before to calling it quits outright; selling everything and moving on and not looking back. The astute among you will pick up on key subtext within this paragraph. In the meantime I've still managed to slowly acquire some final bits for the car, but it feels nice knowing there's not much left to get and I'm almost across that finish line; I have almost everything I'll ever want for my interpretation and expression on what it is I think an R34 should be. 'til later.
    • Thanks for that, hadn’t used my brain enough to think about that. 
    • Also playing with fire if they start to flow more air down low than what the stock twins can. It's not even up top you need to worry, it can be at 3000rpm and part throttle and it's getting way more flow than it should.
    • Any G40/1000 or G40/1250 results out there?  
    • You still want a proper tune on the stock ECU though. Stock tune + stock ECU with GT-SS/-9s is probably playing with fire if you're running more than stock airflow/power.
