Well, if i had the money i would get an r34 gtr. I quite like the f6 typhoon aswell, the newer ones especially. Not to mention they are really quick and fairly easy to mod.

I wouldnt go near the s15 though.

But thats just me

My brother-in-law has recently bought the Ford F6E. Whilst it's a nice car with mod cons eg roof, tow bar, leather yaddayadda, he knows he didn't buy it as a pure bred high potency super sports car. We take our cars down the south coast through Macquarie Pass and it just can't stick to the tarmac like the GT-R. If the rear steps out through a twisty, you just can't predict how soon you can get it back whilst you still try to keep the power on. It's a very tidy sports tourer. If that's what you want and tow something in the bargain, get the Ford.

I bought the GT-R with the dynamics of a super sports car already built in with its chassis, brakes, power to 4 wheels, cornering, damping, suspension. It also has had its potential of upgrading semi-aroused.

One more thing, I have lost virtually nothing in depreciation since I bought mine 3 yrs ago. :whistling:

Poor Craig has lost approx 15-18 grand. :thumbsup:

One of my friends recently got rid of his new typhoon. Said it was nice and quick (he's a ford nut and never owned anything else) but it had constant gearbox problems (manual). He got sick of taking it back and after the 10th or so time he told them to keep it and traded it for the V8 version. Not as fast but hasn't had any problems with it. I'd go the R34 GTR.

GTR will be twice more expensive than a GTT. So watch out.

S15 are cheap to run and fuel... Im considering an s15 myself.

aaaah ok, yeah i have a mate with one. cheeply made though =( hmmmm WELL i might go the gtr, i already drive a 34 gtt and have put in 15 grand in the space of a year. it feels like a waste. not to mention ITS A GTR =D ty guys =)

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
