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

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
