yo guys,

i'm torn between the S15 or 34GTT... the 34 is much more powerful... bt how is the handling? very difficult for me to get a test drive of both these vehicles... all i know is they look SWEET and i think are a great base for mods.. all i want is a car that looks good :wassup: .... has great response and handles quick.. hehe.. don't we all.. but yeah... can't choose between these 2..

not looking to go above 300hp rite now...so i think mod costs should be around the same..yeah? just wondering if anyone's driven both and can give me a real-world comparison..

ok then .. :D

later

damn i love both of 'em....! and i barely know 'em! hehheh

Personally, I'd definitely go the R34 25GT-T. Amazing looking car. In black or white, take your pick. The R34 is larger, and has a slightly more roomy interior.

Stacks of mods for both cars, so that's not a problem.

I can't say too much handling wise, but both cars could be made to handle well with basic suspension upgrades (Whiteline's handling kit/sports pack/works).

i have driven both and own an r34 gtt. though i was never really torn between an s15 and an er34. i think they are two totally different cars. i was torn more between an r32 gtr and r34 gtt because a year and abit ago they were both similar money....

an s15, as much as it pains me to say it, is the real sports car. its light and its fast. the skyline is more of a gt sports car. ie. its heavier, its bigger but it can perform.

i wouldnt say the s15 is less powerful at all. i know alot of sr20's producing BIG hp. they respond very well to mods and they are reliable.

looks is personal.

my reasoning for the er34 was its larger interior, its originality and its practicality. i can fit my mountain bike in the back seat for instance ;) an er34 will perform well, but i don't think it'd be quicker around a track with similar levels of modifications on an s15 because its just too heavy. but, with the extra bulk, i think it has a slightly better build to it.

in any case, i think if your after a true sports car with lesser practicality then get the s15. they respond great to mods, look good and go hard.

if you want abit more practicality and can sacrifice abit of performance, then go for the GTT. it to responds well to mods but i think you'll hit a limit with your injectors. the biggest bolt on injectors i've seen for the GTT are nismo 480's. hence you could potentially be limited to the power you can make from the 2.6 NEO...

hth.

As different as they are, I was tossing up between the two as well. I was comparing the S15 new though. I have to say the interior did it for me. The S15 just seems so plasticky and cheap by comparison. Also the practicality as mentioned above.

Hey maybe the S15 is quicker... I couldn't give a **** cos my GTT goes ****ing fast and as long as I'm in the ballpark I don't care.

Speed is rarely the deciding factor, it's what puts a car in your sights.

That said I think rexies are damn ugly ;) so I can only think that speed is what attracts people to them.

the 34 will retain more of its value.  look at what a 10 year old skyline cost up aginst a 10 year old Silvia.................better resale value ;)

A few points to remember:

1. s13 Silvias are not locally delivered like the s15, which is why they are so cheap in comparison.

2. Import laws are changing constantly and in a few years I doubt you'll be able to import r34 gtt's or s15s for cheap.

GTT all the way.......

i LOVE the s15, it looks dead hot...but if you toss it up betweeen a silvia and a skyline..then the obvious choice is the skyline =)

+ r34 is more rare in australia compared to s15's!

but den again if u ask the same qnz on an s15 forum den ur answers would be quite differ

but yeah def the gtt

yeah...just thought i should i add the silvia's like love at 1st sight... bt never been for a drive in one... been in a mate's 34GTT and man... they sound f*cken HORN ! the suuuuck of air thru the turbo and the accompanying psssssHHHHHH.... mAD... and it feels darned fast too!! altho he was saying 'its not that fast.... only on low boost'... guess i been in the civic too damn long.. hehehe

anyways... if its practicality i was after i might as well stay with the civic. as long as i feel like taking my baby out anytime just for the heck of it.... thats the car i'd own... and it seems like i can't go wrong with both... maybe sum test drives are in order i believe..

anyways, thanks for all your feedback guys. ta =)

Frank : an s15, as much as it pains me to say it, is the real sports car. its light and its fast. the skyline is more of a gt sports car. ie. its heavier, its bigger but it can perform.

can't agree more!

R34 is better looking car but

i will say a S15, as everybody want faster after u got a car like that. It's cheaper to go fast.

kenny: no its not Impul dude. my car has - bomex side skirts, phoenix rear pods, top secret copy front bar, original rear wing with nismo base stands...

the practicality of a civic is a given, but that wasn't my point. i thought you had opted for a sports car so i was just outlining some of the differences between the two...

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
