hey guys, so ive finally got enough mula to get my stagea work/tow slug happening

now ive had a r32 GTR before and i LOVE LOVE LOVE RB26!!!

HOWEVER... you cannot beat new technology...

so my question to people who have driven or owned both... what should i go for?

the m35 or the c34?

if i get the m34 i have enough money to put a r34 front on (put aside 5 g's for that) although i dont know who can get the genuine masa kits in...

anyway

do i stick with the mighty rb26? or do i get with the times and go with new techology.

now im not looking for huggeeee power n what not... not going to mod it much. as im buying a track car...

over all. old vs new?

which one

thanks guys

For towing?

No contest, go the C34.

M35 has an alloy sub frame, so not good for a tow car.

Chad will be able to tell you how his c34 tows hit 32! From what I head it's very very good! My 260 was the best car I've driven, so much fun!

lol you'll need more then 5 g for the front end conversion.. And maybe it's just me, but iv noticed everyone that does it goes over the budget because once its apart...they decide to add to the engine...and so the enetiable happens and more(alot more) then 5 grand is spent.

Other then that i wish i could comment on whats better the C34 or M35, but i cant. Based on what looks sick, id go the M35. Based on performance and still a awsome if not equal good looks with right amount of cash, C34.

Hahaha, +1

IMO, The c34 for towing. Also the ease of finding replacement parts, since they share so much in common with the Skylines. This makes repairs/mods more cost effective. The c34 is still a very comfortable car upto 6"2' drivers height with sunroof's (If I was any taller I wouldnt fit into my car), thats if you want sunroof's.

As for the front end conversion...

Check the last link on the first post for a rough price... here this is just the ccubed version (all fibre glass) and I think it is minus paint and fitment.

If you want to go down the Genuine r34 GTR parts route, the only fibre glass you will be using is the conversion fenders, which you can get from ccubed (pretty sure they used Darrins masa guards to make their moulds). then open your wallet for OEM bonett, frontbar, rad support (which you will use only half of), bonett latch and stay, headlights, front indicators and side indicators. then pay for fitment (unless you do it yourself, but be warned you have to shave 15 - 20 mm off the front skirts once you get the radiator support off your car). Then paint you will have to blend the front doors. No doubt while your there you will want to put on a front mount (because the front of the gtr bar looks silly without one), and make up heaps of little brackets to mount everything in the normal position (thermo, bonett lock support and auto trans cooler)... your 5G budget can quite quickly disapear.... :banana:

im in melbourne.

Have you contacted Arron at Import Monster yet?

They would be able to source the Masa kit and bring it over in one of their containers.

You could then pick it up from their warehouse in Bayswater so save on postage :thumbsup:

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking

      Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
