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

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
