WOOWWWWw that car looks FREEKIN awesome. I have always known R34's are gr8, but why have I never really taken them into account when wanting a car? I dunno why I only wanted an R33, the 34 is soo much better looking I love its squared end. Is an R34 gt better then R33 gts series 2?

if you have just under 20K i would consider S2000, NA Supra MKIV, RX8, Integra Type R, Magna Ralliart, XR6, SV6. These are probably the best cars, in terms of performance, you can drive on your p's.

However you seem pretty keen on getting an R34 or R33. I would say get an R34 for roughly 12K, and with left over money, maybe make it look nice. The R34 will give you decent performance (assuming you dont expect it too beat the above mentioned cars at the traffic light grand prix), a nice looking car and (thanks too the p plate rules) a car that will hold its value...... so in 2/3 years time sell it and buy a turbo skyline/Silvia/JDM car.

hahaha traffic light grand prix, I rly like that :D I guess a supra would be nice, they are magnificant cars, but you are right, I have a problem with skylines :D I will look into supras but. In all of you guys oninions, is an imported car better then one form an aussie owner? imported being less kms, one owner and in good nick, or aussie owner being alot of ks, more owners and in a bad/ lower quality shape? Is the money worth an import?

this is how my r34 N/A was looking. to be honest, and not being modest, mine was the best r34 gt/gtt shell going around melbourne (besides the black one with eastbear bodykit)

would look a lot better if it didn't have cheese cutters stretched onto fat rims.

wide tyres on wide rims = tough

skinny tyres on skinny rims = not that tough, but still ok

skinny tyres on wide rims = hellaflush = ooo look at me = epic fail.

Yeah that's one thing I don't like about the rest of the Silvia community

Why would you put 215's over 9.5 inch wide rims? Seriously

*facepalm*

RWD fanbois need to pull their tampons out and go for a decent drive in a decent fwd. there's plenty of fwd cars that handle better than a lot of rwd cars

Just not a fan of understeer or torque steer

if you're buying an r34 n/a don't buy it for the performance as you will be very disappointed, buy it for the looks and experience in driving the car, sure it's not as quick as an integra/prelude/xr6/commodore/pulsar/some civics/s2000/supra n/a/magna you get the point (it's one of the most slowest N/A cars out there)

take it apart and do minor fixes / repair/ services yourself and learn more about the car so when you do upgrade to the GTT or GTR you're able to know the car that you drive better

as for this thread, i have a feeling it'll turn into another FWD vs RWD

Agree with grey. I honestly think most p platers dont need the fastest na car available anyway, i know my fat arsed v6 vr commodore was enough to get me in trouble plenty of times. I say if you like the look of the 33/34 skyline then go for it mate.

*facepalm*

this may be so...but its a totally different feeling, and one i wouldnt trade. no matter how nice the FWD drives. RWD not FTW, but for the fun.

Get the 34, make it look good, pull up at the lights and you will have people (mainly P-platers) breaking there necks for a race.

give it abit of a rev but dont race them

trust me, everyone thinks skylines are quick (they dont always take into account its non-turbo)

I had a guy who has tried to race me at the lights around town for months ask me why i dont race him in his commo, truthly i know hed kill me, but he doesn't know that haha.

I own a 32 N/a ... not a performance car, but certainly gets looks and is still fun as hell to drive :)

I know what you mean! Had this old guy roll down his passenger window joking about how fast my car was at the lights(he thought it was a GTR), i told him it was non turbo and slow, then he said to me yeah it's only slow in this type of traffic -_-

Trust me everyone will think it's fast but at all costs, don't rice it up lol

    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
