well ive always wanted a r33 turbo, but i went to buy one at a importing place, and after talking about the p's laws ended up buying a 4 door r34 (on a great deal)

its pearl white, with hks coilovers, and exhaust (not sure what size), shaved boot, and its manual.

it will take 3 weeks before its ready for me to pick it up as il be the first australian owner.

but i can probably change my mind on which car i want, i still really want the r33, but ive never really been into 34s, so how do they compare to 33s?

so i was just wondering, are sedans all that bad? and how would it compare to the coupe model non turbo?

thanks heaps

34 sedans look good compared to the 32 and 33 sedans

i would get a Cefiro or Laurel over a 32 /33 sedan

I agree, although the 32 sedan looks a million times better than das boat 33. I love the R33 coupe, but the sedan is just plain wrong, especially the way the rear is different to the coupe.

R34 4 doors looks a lot better then R33 4 doors.

It is a totally different car, looks and engine wise.

They have the NEO RB25DE engine.

A lot of people hang shit on 33 sedans without realising that in reality you get more car for less money. I reckon they can look good too, mine was by no means a minger.

This is my old car:

And this is what happens when navaras hit them at 60k's :yes:

Yes, I realise I now own the same car but in coupe form :thanks:

the difference is 2 extra doors...

seriously tho, you could pick up a half decent 33 coupe cheep as chips. just depends what u want mate. a newer 4 door 34, or a slightly older 2 door 33. id imagine there will be a difference in weight, and i know its easy to get a 33 sideways, never driven a 34 40-door. how easy a car gets sideways isnt really at the top of my list of criteria when buying a car, so cant really help ya there bud

I'm going to sound biased.

I love my R34 4 door, for me I needed the practicality of boot, space and comfortable rear seats.

Another thing that is annoying is when rear passengers get in and out of the rear in coupes - bit of a hassle as the front passenger needs to get out etc.

I guess people don't buy coupes to transport 4+ people anyways. :rofl:

Nothing against coupes - If circumstance didn't matter I'd have an R34 GTR.

Defintly agre with SoFreshSoClean the 33 sedans are a lot of car for the money. Great gearbox, great brakes, great cooling sytem and a great engine.

They may not be the nicest looking car but I have seen plenty made to look decent and like most cars they can be made to look ugly. Examples of both in here- http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Pi...ed-t225879.html

As for the drifting comment, like any skyline they can be turned in to a fun drift car. Some pics of my most recent track day-

looks mental hanging sideways Habler!

r33 sedans dont look tough at all, unless you spend a fair bit on body mods.

I completely disagree. Lowered with a good choice of rims is all you need. They look aggressive as!

If your reffering to body kits, i don't know what aftermarket kits you've seen but the most common ones on offer for the 33 sedan look terrible.

Less is more! Strip the factory spoiler, and keep all the OEM bits; sideskirts, rear pods. Best look imo

In my opinion I would take the r33 sedan over a coupe any day (that's because I have one :ninja: ) as also agreed by my friend who use to race with Aryton Senna, and I love the look of the back it's a lot more modern than the coupe in my opinion. Coupes are as common as assholes as quoted above..lol

I also can't understand how people can like the R34 sedan!?! looks like a box on on four wheels.

    • I don't know if you can disassemble the thing and put it backwards for different ramp rates. They're both "2 ways" or both "1.5 ways" because well, 2 ways and 1.5 ways are the same 'thing' I do not know for sure, but I believe the 38420-RSS15-B5 is the 1 way, and 38420-RSS20-B5 is the two way. In other words, I predict Nissan considers this: to be a 1.5 way. No idea what actually happens when it arrives/you disassemble it. It would be an excellent question to ask Nismo directly! I somehow doubt you will get an answer though, I feel you would be the first person to document what you encounter when you open the box and the internet would be grateful.
    • I'm going to slap an old nismo logo sticker on my spare one and sell it to the land of the free for a thousand bucks
    • lol, probably should have read further!
    • Well - they have arrived.  And they are easy on the eye to put it mildly... These only have three bolts - but for a start there is a key that fits with vacuum like precision..  And as you can see by my ruler, the interface is large..   I listened to a podcast on HP Academy about Dan (KiwiCNC) and I'm more than comfortable he knows what he is doing. R35 Bearing assembly should arrive later today so can mock that up for a look. Can't wait to get these on and get some brake pressure logging too. IMG_3860.MP4
    • I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?
