I Need Some Advice

Oh and by the way, 350z uses the same door lock actuators and window motors as the V35 so regardless, be ready for the same fault sooner or later if you do actually decide on this model.

I can look over that link above again and again and sure, the car is a bit twitchy with stock V-Spec suspension; however...

* it's a glorious run

* it's a glorious car

And I defy any R34 GT-T or V35 GT to get anywhere close to what the R33 GT-R can do.

Remember the car in that link is bone stock!

Just with S-Tune suspension, Kurosawa could knock off another 3 sec. With bone-jarring R-Tune suspension, another 7 sec.

Are you after "driver satisfaction?". Driven a couple of R33 GT-Rs?

Several people here rest their case!

couldnt agree more. sweet video.

i bought the 33 purely for the sake that i think it looks better than a 34 imo (talking gtst/gtt) 34 is just too square on the back. esp without a wing.

Maybe some pics can help you make that decision.

I had wings on my first few R34's, but after driving this shopping cart around -

I started shaving them.

It really depends on the look you are going for and what you've done to the rest of the car though.

V35's look great with the factory wing too -

Get a 33 GTR. Yes this is best.

I had a silver V35 coupe - 2004 model / grade 4A.

Got bored of it real quick and bought a 350z convertible and a 350z hard top instead.

Im assuming Chris above is referring to the window motors and the door lock actuators. If so, $1000 is actually a cheap quote if thats for both sides and both parts - i'd suggest you keep his number handy as you'll definately need it.

From personal experience - Having also owned a series 2 R33, R33 GTR, S15, quite a few R34's - when I compare the older models to the new, Nissan dont seem to make them like they used to. Design faults with the above mentioned parts along with other design faults you'll find as you go along (like the roof on the 350z convertible which kept tearing around the rear window).

Personally, I would not recommend a V35 unless you really, really like the style and really need the back seat. Otherwise if you're after a car that is similar - go the 350z. Will also be easier to sell later when it comes time to move it on.

exactly what I was getting at. parts for them are not cheap. with the amount of electronics in that car its only a matter of time before somthing major fails and cost $$$ to sort properly.
