s2000s and sliding dont go well together. yes the body is great for sliding but the drive line HATES it.

i snapped my first drive shaft last saturday (only had the car for 2 months)

i was also aware that they have weak driveshafts and diffs so i was very gentle on the clutch and only flicked it out 3 times.

they are excellent for grip driving and quite fast in a straight line too (i have beaten a stock GT-T)

basically have money on the side for rear end problems if you get the s2k. engine is BULLETPROOF (so far haha) great on petrol aswell, it loves to burn oil$$... and if you want a nice intake sound remove the airbox lid and a factory pod is sitting inside the airbox.

only cons are the rear end and having no room lol.

hope this helps!

Cheers mate, I'm thinking that my heart has and always will be with the R34, plus it has more seats and is a bit more practical. I came out of nando's tonight and there was a black one with green P plates parked next to my falcon. It looked great, made me wonder why I ever thought of getting anything else :)

Cool story man, lol. The way you wrote it sounds like the s2k was a long time ago, before p plate laws, so why didn't you go for a 34 if you had the chance? How did you like the s2000? Did you have a loan for it, sorry for the personal question I'm just interested in hearing about people's experiences with loans.

to be honest i didnt get an R34 because they were dropping in price and i thought every P plater was soon to have one (in canberra btw).

so i bought an S2000, it took about 2 years before i saw an S2000 with P plates. so yea i guess you could say i wanted "to be cool"

and have a car others didnt have.

Yes i did get a loan for it.

Cheers mate. What was/is your experience in regards to the loan? Would you recommend one? I'm not fussed about what everyone else has. 34's aren't that common, I might see one or two a month where I am. Even if they were everywhere I'd still love them :)

There were only 1800 sold in Australia brand new. Given that tha majority are 10+ years old, you'd assume a small percentage aren't on the road anymore. The chances of a [P] plater wanting one, finding one and being able to afford it are pretty low.

ok if you can pay it off quick then go for it, it'll also open doors for future loans with better credit rating etc, if your like me and will repay it with minimal repayments because you spend the spare cash modding the car lol then i wouldnt suggest it, if i could take it all back and listen to my brother when he told me to save hard and pay cash, i would go back and save 30k, i was living at home with not a single bill to pay, it seemed hard at the time to save, but now i know its not, especially in my situation.

you see p platers in s2000's often in sydney.

jus sayin

I'm going to go for the r34 guys.

If I get it before I have an open license I'll be doing subtle mods to it, hicas lock bar will be the first addition :)

I drove my mates crx today. It had. B18c in it out of an integra. Went fairly quick for a p plater car, but handled like death lol.

I drove my mates crx today. It had. B18c in it out of an integra. Went fairly quick for a p plater car, but because

a: it had ridiculously slammed springs with 20" chromies and stock dampers, or

b: I don't know how to drive a FWD quickly

I couldn't get it to go around corners

Fixed

Trust me - a decently sorted and driven CRX / Civic (not talking $10k coilovers) will outrun an R34 through corners every day of the week.

Still, you have your heart set on the R34 so I'm sure you'll be very happy with it. They are still a great car.

if u want handing, go s2000 for sure. speed, stock vs stock, go s2000, i dont care what anyone thinks but my old s2000 use to beat stock Skyline's and rexy's over and over again. If u plan on modifying it to get power, dont bother with an s2000, it will cost you an arm and a leg to get anywhere, especially with a loan to pay! Overall if your gonna get a loan, get it for the R34 not the s2000

Wrong mate, it handled like death. It's a defect mobile. Any small bump in thenroad would unsettle it and create a loud banging noise. It wandered everywhere. Still quick as for a p plate car though. I'm excited for the 34 :) I'd like an s2k one day though.

    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
