Is it worth to buy a r35 gtr?

Oh and from what it looks like, your 34 is fairly stock. A stock 35 will feel like an exotic supercar in comparison.

Lots of people will tell you that a GT-R really needs a bit of extra grunt from stock to feel half decent - The 35 has that from factory, a 34 will need a few basic bits to wake it up. 
 

The RB26 really needs at least N1 turbos and appropriate tune. It's a huge difference IMO.

600 sounds like an arbitrary number you pulled out of nowhere?

Go for some rides in cars of various power and get a feel.

600rwhp might be too much or not even close to enough.

I get where you're coming from, but you can't really make a call until you experience some of this stuff first hand.

Depends what you want in a car. I'd not go back to an earlier GTR after having a R35 for 5 years, it's a generation ahead and feels it but is falling behind its competition a bit now, instead competing with the latest German sedans rather than supercars in terms of straight line speed.

Took delivery of a 2017 gtr a month or so ago. Absolutely amazing car. So much more advanced than previous iterations (I've had a few older Nissans). If you can afford it I'd definitely recommend it.

drove R34 and R35 gtr back to back. i never would drive a R34 again. mine makes 550kw atw, runs 9sec 1/4 and still drives like stock. best handling, best power, best performance. manual DCT shift or auto mode for shitty sydney traffic. do i miss manual? "SOMETIMES" im getting older and i am shifting more towards convenience these days. 

Only reason i would buy a R34 gtr is just to have one as part of the collection. but if i had to choose over both - R35 wins for me every day.

Why not just get a R35! 2017 latest or 2013~16 DBA GTR preferred! Running/maintenance cost for any supercars won't come cheap anyway!

I use Pajero Diesel and my wife use Sorento Diesel daily! The GTR only ride once or twice per month!

    • Y'know what, after reading a topic on a 360kw build using a nistune (who ended up going LINK), im now considering a LINK over a nistune. The engine protection alone would probably be worth it. And id like to learn to tune so would be nice to have that safe guard. Which means i probably wont need a boost controller then, or the R35 MAF.  Becoming a bit of a blog now but oh wells. As mentioned previously, the goal is around 300kw, for a daily driver. Will be looking at fitting a highflow turbo or similar (something that doesnt require downpipes, manifolds etc to be changed out) when the current stock gives out or the money for it is there. 
    • Thanks guys. Are you meant to tighten the converter bolts through the starter motor hole? Think my plate between gearbox and engine is one piece. Im heading up there tomorrow.
    • Picked my tailshaft up yesterday arv!! Test fit it and because they've gone to a ford centre bearing and CV I had to modify the mounting bracket a little bit. 5mm of each side and she went up into position and fits well. It has a 1350 uni and flange on the gearbox end so it should be plenty strong!  Got stuck in this morning and started on the wiring mess. Cut out all the wires not required that go to the body connector and cut the engine harness out. Need to go through and work out which ones I need to keep and rewire into the new ecu. Should save a small amount of weight as well. I'd love to get in and rip the dash and everything out to completely remove wiring but cbf.  Next up was the power harness for alternator, starter etc. It has a few connectors from factory that run out of it. Cut it all apart and removed what was no longer required and put some new corro and taped it all back up and bolted it all back into place.  After that I worked out where I can mount the new flex sensor. Found a couple of factory bolt holes and drilled a new hole on the bracket to suit. Need to go get a few fittings and adapters tomorrow so I can keep going.   
    • Nah, im after the more newer looking, one with the OLED display
    • We revised the neutral wire instructions. The old way was wrong.  R34 gearbox change.pdf
