Hey guys, I'm looking at purchasing a Skyline. I used to own an R33 series 1 back in my late teens but had to sell it six or seven years ago when I got married. I'm in a situation at the moment where I won't be requiring my car to get to work anymore so want to sell my car and buy a new toy. My question is this: What should I buy? I cant make up my mind between an R34 GT-T or a V35 350 GT. I know I the best way to decide would be to test drive, but I'm just wondering what other peoples opinions are on the matter, especially in regards to performance, enhancement and road comfort. I'm looking to spend around 18k at the most. I have also considered a Supra as the twin turbo models 1994-1998 are quite affordable these days, but I prefer skylines ever since Gran Turismo back in 98 lol. Any opinions would be welcome. Thanks guys...

you'll struggle to get a decent, manual V35 350gt coupe for 18 grand.

You're always going to have divided opinions. The R34 is more strictly a performance car, whereas the V35 is more of a luxury car with a bit of punch.

Personally, I'd go for a tidy R34 GT-T. But both cars have merits. Probably shouldn't listen to me thought, since I own an R32 and a 350Z. I have the best of both worlds anyway.

buy a nissan and not a renault.. (those that get what I said will nod.)

the R series cars are nissan built/infuenced. the V series are nissan built renault influenced and have electrical niggles that will driver you batty. suggest you read the FAQ I work in the v series area.

lets see, get clean R34 for 15, spend 5k on mods and you have a weapon with parts that are cheap and plentiful

should you need them. Theres an endless supply of tech support and as stated they are not so full of electronic BS

or

Get V35 and be comfortable..

i know which Id choose :D

Haha cheers for the input guys. I would probably prefer a turbo over N/A so I'm kinda swinging the way of the R34 at the moment. Plus if I can pick one up cheap enough I might be able to do a few mods down the way... Just have to hide it form the missus...

A V35 to me is a luxo sports/cruiser car that can be left standard and still be cool whereas the R34 GTT is a sports car that needs money spent on it to go fast.

2 totaly different styles of cars.

Like comparing a Supra and a Soarer.

I may be wrong in your opinion but I dont care.

OP, what style of car you want ?

I like my boat !

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
