Speed or wheels or some such magaziene has approached Autostyle in sydney about using there white R34 with the carbon fibre bonnet to put up against a 550 maranello. the R34 is making 400+awkW from memory.

Just wondering what people thought of this??

Is it a fair comparrison or is the 34 to modified to be classed against a "standard" car?

The R34 can be viewed at www.autostyle.com.au

A 400 awkw GTR is going to be a laggy ho.

Not at all.

And the Maranello is going to be slaughtered by that GTR if it goes down. A friend of mine had a 550 he would bring to the illegals here in Texas. INSANELY fast from 40-180mph, but only good for mid 12s on a drag strip. Handling was a different matter, it was a great car to drive. :D

its not a fair comparison.

fair would be stock for stock..

and even then i dont think its fair, they should compare say the new 4 seater ferrari to the gtr, that would be fair, they are both 4 seater hardcore GTs(sort of)...

there isnt much to compare really, both have pros n cons

like stock gtr v's stock 550 - well gtr has power limit where 550 doesnt

gtr is a fraction of the price of a 550 and both are built differently

bang for buck would be a good comparison but then u could even put a modded s13 up against it.

id say it would be more of a review on the 2 different performance spectacles...

be an interesting read nevertheless

As soon as a car is modded and the other remains stock, there is no fair comparison. Both cars should come off the showroom floor, run in to 5000 kms and then spanked around by professional drivers.

Gimme the Ferrari anyday. Would much rather have a Ferrari than my GTR.

And I stick to that comment D.

I would love a Ferrari!! The sound of any Ferrari at full song beats any stock Skyline and considering how slow they are, you can attract more attention without actually breaking any EPA regulations and pick up more hotties :)

Do you know what the '550' stands for?

$550,000 ha ha..

Different class of car... the person who buys a 550 probably has a 34 already.

You gotta ask yourself why a '00 r34 is $80,000 and a 1978 308GTB is $120,000 or why a '97 355GTB is $200,000.

T.

Simple answer. Coz the Rarri is better off the factory floor!!! Nothing beats R&D. No mods = no problems which can't be fixed under warranty :(

LOL. There is no such thing as an italian car better than a jap car of the show room floor,

performance & look wise yes, but it all down hill from there, unless u live with an italian exoticar (or german for that matter)before you have absolute no idea what you're getting youself into.

When was the last time your dash curled up when u park your skyline in the sun?

can't say the same thing about some of the italians.

      Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
