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 -

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.

    • 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.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
    • okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
