S15 Vs R34

[The Bogan]

All I was doing was making it fair by having all concerned with a manual transmission (apples with apples),, I did a bit of hastey research to come up with my side of the argument, so far your side of the argument is "what you think"if you think Im wrong prove it with something,

I dont feel Im coming of as a know it all, people have been making statements without any backing, my points are from a bit of research.

Sorry, but Renault clio?

Yes, its faster.

But personal opinions come into play.

And nearly all Renaults look like arse.

And I've NEVER seen a poser in ANYTHING euro....

I recoken your average boy wanna be racers at the lights would be faster in an auto car then a manual, purely because majority of them can't shift for crap.

[luke gtr]

Granny shifting, not double clutching like you should...

Almost chomped a new ve hsv the other day in my na skyline, mainly due to the fact he couldn't shift and missed second haha, lucky I wasn't racing or the would've been very embarrassing for him

[The Bogan]

This onetime, at band camp......

[Hadouken]

Lol n/a skyline chomping HSV. As much as I dislike Holden's I very much would back the HSV over a n/a skyline.

This has made my day. Thank you good p player sir.

In that case, girls should be better because they can multitask

That's a myth.

They do little bits of one thing at a time....

haha didnt say i did or could if he didnt miss second, it was just funny seeing him boot it then hit limiter and missing a gear. its not just p platers who cant drive but alot of us do suck haha. and i know i would get destroyed by one almost every single time

[sultanaz]

f**king lol !!!

[Hadouken]

You should get a r32 gtst and then remove the t!

what a thread

dont get an n/a skyline or silvia, theyre both crap

na hsv killer man, the only think you will "chomp" is a bus...

He didn't say his car was faster than a VE HSV. He said he almost beat one in a race, which is a pretty legitimate thing to say, if that's what happened. Last I checked, whoever crosses the finish line first, wins a race. Put someone who literally can't drive a manual, as in, doesn't even know what a clutch pedal is for...into a manual 911 turbo...and you will beat them with a Hyundai each and every time.

they may not be very fast, but i would hardly say their crap. Perhaps not the best value for money cars, but their still nice cars, drive well and look good.

with simple mods like coilovers, sway bars, and good wheels/tyres they look good and handle nicely.

while there are better cars for the price (or less) if he really wants a skyline or a silvia and can only get an n/a one theres nothing wrong with them!

as long as you dont treat it like a race car and try, drag race everyone at the lights, generally act like an idiot on these forums and think you're the fastest guy around, and continually spam us all for info on how to make your car faster and acknowledge the car for what it is I don't see the problem.

[Borci88]

Agreed with Jonno and Birds, don't know why theres so much hate for NAs. Our skylines were originally spawned as NA's anyway. I personally wouldn't waste my time with NA's now after having turbo skylines, but I have had NA skylines and they were a blast during my Ps. Sure theyre not the cheapest and best handling cars (say an old Peugeut) but I mean really, look at an old Peugeut and then look at a Skyline... it's not that hard of a choice for a P Plater.

[Jonno34]

^ those old peugeots arent all too bad you know, the 306's and 405's and even 605's were pretty good looking cars (in my opinon - which some/many laugh at), and some of them even have some pretty decently quick engines!

tbh totally wouldn't mind one at all, but no experience and haven't heard much about their reliability and whatnot

off topic though

[B-Boi34]

Wow what a thread.

I had to make the same decision about a year ago although i was looking at turbo models. I went with the R34 mainly because i felt u get more car for less money & I love straight 6's.

If you are looking to get the car & maybe do 1 or 2 mods & just drive it around for 3 years until u get your opens I say go for it. The issue with that is sometimes its hard to stop at 1 or 2 mods.

if you are planning on getting the car & modding it, id suggest u dont. I was in the same boat as u. Almost bought a N/A skyline 3 times but I took ppl's advice & I waited to get off my P's coz if i got it I would have thrown lots of money at it & then bought a turbo when i got my opens anyways.

Just my 2 cents.

[BeastVS]

I was in the same case although looking at the turbo models. The s15 to me felt a bit more sporty however the 34 seemed alot more solid and ridgid in my opinion. Just felt like it stuck to the road a bit more. So i ended up with a 34. But dont take other peoples advice. Drive a few different cars and see which one you prefer.

i beat a r33 gts-t in my v6 magna at willowbank. i crossed the line first, but his time was 0.1 faster than mine and his trap speed was a touch higher, and by the end of the night he was running times about a second faster than me. doesn't change the fact that on the timeslip it says i won the race. i should point out that i don't go round saying that my magna beat a turbo skyline. i just bring it up in threads like this to make a point. i don't know what that point is, i just like stories.
