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...

    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
