Hey guys,

Im thinking of buying one of those for my weekend "fun" car.

I know that Z is much newer and probably more reliable in sense that its Aus delivered and usually untracked.

Some things that I will/wont do:

Will not wonna mod it (just want a stock quickish car)

Will go for weekend drives as I have a corolla as a daily car

Ive never driven a Z before but have been in a few R34 GTTs... how do they compare when driven? Handling and acceleration wise?

If there is a child forum on here for Zs, please show me.

Thanks

Hrmm if you keep both cars stock I would go the 350z. Otherwise if its modded I would go the R34 GTT.

Stock acceleration times should be similar but handing wise the 350z should be better.

If you don't plan to mod it, then 350Z is a better package straight out of the box. I have a 350GT which is very similar to the Z and they are awesome cars for those weekend mountain runs or lazy cruises...

you might wanna ask those guys at the Z forums for opinions on the Z:

I've had both, I got rid of my 350z 06' track model for my r34 thuogh... and i love the r34 10x more then i ever loved my Z.... The Z is alot more nicer feel cos of the leather and everything about it.. but the r34 is more of an agresive feel since mine has over 200rwkw.. but you sound like more of a 350z person.. Go the 350z but i choose an r34 turbo anyday of the week..

Straight out of the box, 350Z is alot better in everything, except lack of turbo and has two seats.

But if you can find a nice example of R34 GT-T coupe, mildly modded, clean and low kms, maybe it's worth a look.

Or maybe you could consider V35 coupe? :/

Good luck.

Now, bang for your buck; would you buy a 350Z or a 370GT?

All I can say is I got the 370GT sedan with the 7spd box, and its a gem.

Probably cost around the same as a used 350z. There fast and feel upmarket.

Agreed.

370GT (coupe or sedan) are really good-looking cars, both look and performance wise. I would still prefer 370GT coupe to 370Z.

The GT is so rare it turns more eyes than a 335Ci that costs twice more

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
