Hi all, sold all my toys and now want to do somthing eles.

Ive had the idea of a 34r for a while (causing me to sell all my bitts) and have now got tge following for the gtr

Hks cams

Os giken cam wheels

Hks type s coilovers

Volk work 19x10.5 +12 ce28n wheels

Apexi weldina cat back

Midori front pipe (with decat)

Apexi power fc with boost cobtroller

Would also do,

Injectors (550cc)

Fuel pump

Thats bout it oerformance wise...

But ive now liked the idea of an audi s3,

Id like to move to melbourne by the end of the year,

How r the police over there?

Both cars will be financed, and both will be about low 50s to get on the road.

Im very sus a 34r will be worth more than low 30s in 4 yrs time. (actual sale price!!)

The audi is good coz its just a step away from the bullshit of cars! And more melbourne!

Ive never driven either but thr dsg box and qauttro sounds very fast!

If i were to go gtr id get a cheap run around too...

S3 can be quick, but come on is it really on par with a GTR :P

The only real benefit I can see is less attention from the police and perhaps insurance, but if you're going to get a bunky for daily use then no problems there.

the gtr is nice and sexy and will be a head turner, but remember maintenance will be more than the s3, also the s3 will be cheaper to insure in most places. s3 is more comfy, nicer ride, better handling, better fuel consumption. performance wise it ist that much slower than a gtr, 0.5 seconds to 100 isnt noticeable.

also the s3 is vastly different to a golf, in every aspect, engine, gearbox etc. has heaps of tuning potential but will cost roughly as much to tune as a GTR.

in the end it comes down to personal preference. the s3 can be had in 3 or 5 door. so if you have a family, its much more easier to go audi.

also consider police attention, GTR is pretty bad, while the s3 is seen more as normal car.

but if your going loosely on looks, GTR will win hands down

i iunderstand that, but the gtr is not going to be able to be slapped into a street carpark, left alone, driven, comfortablty easy etc etc... and also vic is very flat unless you go way way out of the city so not alot of driving to be had, where as my adelaide house is litteraly 50m inside the cival side of the hills.

Get a silver one then... >_<

I vote for the GT-R (whilst owning a 530i BMW too) and get a $2K Corolla to run up the Kms.

'Tis better to get the wet weather dirt on your daily as well.

Really, it'd be different if you were comparing the GT-R with an RS.

I was tossing up between Evo 8MR/9 or R34 GTR for a while after selling my R32. Did a lot of research online, asked for people's opinions etc.

After ONE drive in both, my mind was made up :)

My advice would be to go out and do some test driving. If you have your finances sorted and are serious about buying one, don't be shy to take them for a drive!

I just bought some Nismo skirts and pods for my new car. Guess which one I chose. action-smiley-069.gif

dsg and quattro does not sound fast it sounds expencive if u buy the audi leave it stock or have deep pockets

wheres you know what the gtr is capable of. Drive both i already know what u will choose once you own a jap car you will never turn to the dark side

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
