you get what you pay for. Want a better car, fork out more money.

I def. wouldn't fork out more than 20 for an R33.

Plenty of good examples outthere for around about that much or less.

You have to add Price for mods, orc (inc registration of course) And this one has damage.

So an r34 would be more than 24 grand lol You will be lucky to find one for that price.

wat would u guys choose? a s15 or r34?

they both the same price

Got a funny feeling you're going to get a pretty biased answer to that question.

Its not S15s Australia now is it??? :D

Either car would be awesome mate, but i'd personally go for the R34.

Best of luck

Dude. Best thing for you to do. Is go test drive cars for yourself and find out. no good in asking. everyone has different likes and looks for different things in cars. Go do your own research by going to a dealer and seeing the cars with your own two eyes

well for 20k,, there's heaps of r33 series 2 out there.

but wats da main things to look for? just briefly...

this is my first turbo car, and im kindda newbie to turbos.

i've heard turbos can have many many problems

so im worried that if i buy it, i'll need to spend thousands on top of it.

cos i've got no more to spend.

well if you're going to be scared of this and that, better save up more money or wait.

turbo charged cars are performance cars and to be honest, everything has its wear limit.

It could be you find a 100,000km turbocharged car which runs like a dream and you could also find a 50,000km that needs fixing here and there. It's all about how the car was cared for and also, your luck.

a good option is to get a honda - nice NA performance with low maintenance,high reliability. The VTEC kicks for an NA....

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
