i guess it comes down to personal pref on this and it will never get solved ahahha, performance wise ild prob back a r34 aswell, but looks wise i dont think they differ to much, ive come up to r34's from the front and thought they were r33's passin by in traffic, i mean if we were going of a car's year of manifacture to say if it was better or not then is the r33 better then the r32 so on.. i think if ya car looks nice and can sing when it has to it'll turn heads ether way, and give it a few yr's and r34's will be everywere also.. you should just get what you like and not worry about what the rest of the herd is doing baaahhhhh

hey wats so bad abt R33s? all u have to do is juz polish once a week and ur car would look as good as new !! and i believe a stock standard R33 would Blow a stock R34!!

well the R33 back looks more sexy than the R34!! form my point of view

Do some research before you make yourself look silly again.

lol ..... i still believe a stock R33 will still take out a stock R34 ..... coz i knew ppl who drove a stock R33 who took out a R34 .... :rolleyes: !! But i dunno whether is it a manual or auto .....

Ive been considering selling my car for an R34. But i dont think i would be able to stand the power downgrade. Only thing i would be wanting to do is fiddle around turning my r33 to stock then dumping the parts on an R34 lol.

I've also seen some average R34's, and then I've seen some (even with a stock body kit) that look pretty sick. I think they at least need a rear spoiler, otherwise the rear looks too square. Just my opinion though.

"Games don't affect people. If Pacman affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms munching on pills and listening to repetitive music."

R34s will be as common as in the very near future, go check the big time import dealers yard and you will see bulk R34s. Like anything, give it time and they too will be cheap as.......

If you cant afford a R34, dont buy one, its quite simple......

there were only a handful of R34s made. R34 started it's production in May 1998 and ended it's life around the '02 period. if u think about it, the r34 was only popular for 2 yrs max, mid 98 to mid 00. after this period, not many R34 was made, making it harder to source compared to R33. Remember, demands for R34 has gone up, therefore it will not be everywhere and will retain it's value well. R34 will be the big mac of all times. i mean look at it, its just beatiful. i personally prefer looks over power, i dont really care for power to a certain degree. aslong i've got enough to cruise, thats all i care. how much power do u want on the road ? this isnt autobarn. In a few yrs the G35 will be everywhere, not the R34.

we all love our skylines but the r34 is not really worth the cost to upgrade from r33 . these are still very similar cars . the extra 20kw of the neo is going to be almost gone by the time you get a powerfc and tune it up .

unfortunetly if you want a real step up upgrade your going to have to look at something else , nissan just dont do sports cars like skyline anymore . unless you like the 35 . which most dont . and NA doesnt do much for me personally

    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
    • Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number. 
    • Hey guys, looking for these side skirts if anyone can help me out. 
    • Wife and I are still looking for a new home. One condition was a large enough garage for a full-size lift in one bay. Now if only we could find something... We've been looking for almost a year now.
    • Thanks everyone for the ideas! Sadly, ramps are a no go for me. With young kids at home, I do most of my work late at night while they're sleeping. Starting the car multiple times wouldn't be a great idea.  I'll go see one of those new long reach low profile jacks and take a couple measurements to see if they will fit.
