R34 Vs R35 - Not School Holidays Yet, This Is Not What You Think.


Recommended Posts

You can drive the R35 in full manual of the paddle shifts like a manual car, just don't have a clutch.

If I was buying a car around the price of a used r35 for street use only I would be getting a C6 Corvette Z06 or a Dodge Viper. Looks like a super car sounds great and makes you smile when you put your foot down. both are easy to maintain and service yourself unlike a Ferrari 360 that is in that price range.

I feel this is very much a chalk vs cheese question.

the cars involved crossover what i would regard as a pretty important few years in Auto development.

Tbh I think it comes down to......how long do you plan on keeping it??

until it dies........ go the 34

for a bit and then move on ......R35

...I struggle to see how anyone can compare a camaro to an R35.......that really blows my mind ..... go by a VF GTS if you want a Camaro........ essentially the same chassis as I understand it . Its the import costs that put it in the same bracket. .... the vette on the other hand... :)


to me the R34 is a very good balance of driving feel with just the right amount of electronics R35 feels like it can turn anyone into a track superstar (maybe not the case but its how it feels to me )

especially if its just a weekender...... buy a R34 and sink the 30-40k price difference into it. Personally out of my weekender I want an animal.....not comfortable....

ESPECIALLY if its your dream car ( or has been for a period of time.

R34 induction noise is better than r35? You need to get some gotboost intakes and big green filters on your r35 mine sound like their sucking harder than a Bangkok hooker

This is Sig worthy!!!!!!

Is it an instant shift? I've driven a few paddle shifters and they vary widely, when I drove the 35 yers ago it was manual only mode as it was a privately owned car and had only travelled a few hundred k's.

I'm not into Corvette's, I'd love to drive one for a weekend but would not shell out my $$ to own one - unless it was a ZR1,,,

I would definitely be keeping it for quite some time, but that doesn't make me lean one way or the other, it's just a reflection of my financial decision making process. I love cars, but have a hard time justifying what nice ones really cost so I sit on them for a while when I have them.

You've touched on what I think some of the internal struggle is, the 34 was my pinup car for so long. I'd have been stoked to have had a 99 non v-spec in any colour/condition. In a few years though, when I've taken car eof "business" and can think about pleasure, I have the option of a really nice 34, or an older model 35. Any car guy will tell you it's hard to justify dropping good money on a given car when you know there's another that is almost in-arguably better in every way.

I'm biased here, but I haven't heard a 35 sound as a good as a 33/34 yet (Exhaust or Induction), but I've only been hearing 35s through YouTube lately and I've only driven a stock one.

Are you in Sydney, welcome to listen to mine at WOT full Exhuast decatted... Might have to change your mind. The VR38 sounds so tough and the best thing is that throw it in auto mode and keep the revs low and it's still so quiet to drive around and not draw too much negative attention to yourself.

If I was in your situation, I'd get a 35 GTR over a 34 without question.

The R34 GTR is the top of the line offering of the R34 platform, the R35 GTR is a designed from scratch Supercar

If you ever go sick of it, I'm sure there would be a mountain of R34 GTR + cash your way swaps on offer!

The R32,R33,R34 were effectively supercars for their day.

But i also agree i would get a 35 over the 34.

Yeah, without a doubt any GTR is a sensational car,

Good point in that if I wanted to part ways it likely wouldn't be that hard to get an R34 swap.

Interestingly enough the auction prices in Japan for 34 GTR's is still quite high, comparable with the 35 GTR - so in terms of a car from an investment point of view the 34 is a good option.

In regard to BNR34 values, it depends on which model you lock onto.

Lower end models have come down a bit. V-spec II has remained about the same. And anything with a 24U block has gone up. Albeit assuming that they're high quality items.

And terry keeps refusing my offer for a swap> His 34 for my 32....

That's fair isn't it??? :whistling:

You've won a free hypnotherapy session that'll convince you that you're happy with what you've got!

Hehe...

If I was to go for an R34 the goal would be a VS2, not for resale value but because it's the sexiest to me.

It was for me too. Sexiest that is!

...and it has gone up in value at each sale to!

I'm yet to see a 35 which punches as hard in the visual department as a nicely done 34. That thing looks like it's basically sitting there waiting for you to get closer. As soon as your in range, it'll pounce, beat the living shit out of you, chew you up, spit to out then f**k off in a 4 wheel induced cloud of tyre smoke leaving all kinds of impossible lines behind it.

I've a BNR34 and I've sat in a R35...

the feel is different. To me, the BNR34 is a childhood dream... the involvement of driver and car. R35 is fast...but to me, thats it. Its like being chauffeured around in a fast car.

did someone say school holidays?

Im just here to tell you you're all wrong

also did you know that R35 GTR rear brakepads are the same as a Nissan Xtrail....and no not the new one

So y'all might as well buy an X-trail

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
