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!

    • I would absolutely be starting with this idea over all other possibilities. It sounds f**ked.
    • Lighting in the shed looks real good! Not lying, have shed envy lol. Maybe one day I can fk off from Metro Sydney.
    • I would be cautious with those 2000/2200 CNG injectors, swap them out for a set of 1550 aka 1650 Bosch stainless ones before you take out a motor.
    • I tested them all a couple times, haven't tested it warm or wet though. The only seemingly really weird thing was the cylinders plug closest to the dash was pitch black nearly.  Doesn't smoke out of the exhaust or anything.    Also sorry everyone for the very late response. Got busy with work and all and didn't get around to fooling with the car for awhile.  But an update! I figured out the cause of the lean condition, my intercooler had at some point exploded or something. It's clearly separated in a spot with black oily buildup around the leak, and multiple leaks in various vacuum lines. I've replaced it and the vacuum lines, and gotten new clamps and there are 0 leaks now after doing a couple smoke tests.   The car now runs significantly better and the exhaust doesn't overheat anymore. I still have the main problem though where the engine feels like I'm lugging it around sub 3500rpm in any gear besides 1st, 2nd It's less noticeable but 3rd anything under 3.5k and I need to downshift or the engine is clearly struggling when trying to accelerate at all, 4th is the exact same, sub 3.5k engine won't accelerate and its hard to bring it back up to speed, 5th gear doesn't feel like the car is going to straight up fall apart now but it still can't pull 5th. It slowly loses speed and rpm and ANY gas I give I can feel the shakes from the engine and it slowly dying. If I ever so lightly give it gas it will slowly and nicely decel till around 2k rpm instead of lugging. But it cannot accelerate at all or maintain speed.   If I go from first gear at 5 or 6krpm and then shift to second it also feels like it's struggling to make power till above 3krpm if trying to accelerate but I can cruise around parking lots at around 1-2krpm just fine in 2nd. It's just when accelerating hard it and changing gear you really notice it die down.  But even if you shift at way lower rpms it does the same thing till somewhere above 3k.  As far as I'm aware it's got r32 gtr transmission gear ratios with gts4 diffs. The tire size is 205/55r16 91h Above 3500rpm the car pulls and runs and drives quite normally and the power from engine sounds and feels very smooth.  It's perfectly driveable at above 3.5krpm but I drive on the highway alot for work and it gets really bad gas mileage in 4th at 4.4krpm. Not that I'm looking for great gas mileage with such a car, just I'm sure being at around 3krpm would be significantly better for it.    Have appreciated all your guys help. I do understand the engine may just be f**ked from running with a boost leak though.    One final thing I'd like to add is I'm only shifting so high in the rpm range is because if I don't I will feel the engine lugging bad with 0 power in lower rpms, pretty much anytime off boost trying to accelerate it feels really bad.  Also when I say 3500 rpm I don't mean exactly. Just around there. 
    • So what did you end up doing ?  and is it still alive today ?
