there also the little thing about "involvement with a manual box" i know new double clutches are stupid quick / fast and is the way of the future. but not sure about pleasure of driving aspect.

Instant shifts > driveing pleasure :yes:

yeah...

I like the rawness of the RB26 with the manual shifting... for the R35, power is continuous and smooth but it feels very much like an auto trans to me..

Second this.

I was thinking about the 100k 400R sold couple of years ago and try working out how much will it cost to do something similiar. The cost will be close to 50k itself on top of the 33 GTR price (back then would be like 30k?). So to pay an extra 20k for the "limited" factor and no worries about parts/mods falling apart from human error, its not a bad buy really.

I would buy neither.......I would find and buy a 400R.

100%

that would be the best R34 GTR :yes:

Both cars above are fully done up from factory and you dont have to worry about the HKS stroker. That said, if you're gonna throw in a stroker kit, you're better off getting a Vspec. Why waste the money on a limited edition when you're not keeping the "limited" component?

If money wasnt a probably, I'll still take the 34 over the 35 any day because the shape of the 35 never really worked for me. And if money really isnt an issue, GT 2 or GT3 for sure. Purpose built and I like the fancy colours they come with!

z tune goes without saying.

wonder if they will do a ztune 35?

with a proper manual box?

also, always wanted to see a lap battle between ztune and mines 34....

actually the R35 comes with a "proper" manual box... the supposed "auto" trans is not like the ones we see in camrys or any other sedans. The auto part is just the computer doing the "clutch in clutch out" for u. So will they do a Z Tune R35? i wouldnt keep my hopes up. Besides, wasnt the Z tune also meant to commemorate the R34 cos they were ending production? much like the Spirit R for the Rx7 FD3S

thats a very good sensible point.... do u get the base spec BNR34 and mod it or get a V Spec II Nur and do the same... I'd say, if the BNR34 was a childhood dream/passion then the latter. why? cos u'd probably never sell it... plus "V Spec II nur" sounds really nice :D (Could always keep the "limited" components in a shed LOL)

same here... the shape of the R35 with all its fancy electronics doesnt work for me..

If $$$ was no problem why would anyone care about the weight....still less than a R35.

For the 400Rs that are still running around the world plus the amount of work done to them from factory it can weigh as much as the Moon for all care....to me its a collectors car to be driven on special occasions.....cus' its a love for Skylines.

I meant one with a pedal clutch and h pattern.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
