:cheers: Hey I went car hunting today down Parra Road, was looking at 34s and the odd 33. Im wondering what your opinions are on the 34s and what price you would pay for a stock standard one and one with a bit of mods done to it (exhaust,rims) etc.

Also what other cars are good to buy atm an they don't have to be skylines, I kind of like the Evo 6s and 7s.

Seen some in the city and they look hot.

I was also thinking of impoting a R34 but the only issue I have is it wont have warranty

(not that big of an issue)

Whats your thoughts on import pricing too.

Thanx

Jayla. :P

This is so hot for an S15 >>> http://www.autotrader.com.au/photodisplay.asp

Thats just a couple of interests.. And im looking for manual.

yeah ill look on here too.

What you think of this there is a 33 blk manual in there for 15k its got stage one mods i was thinking to get it and go crazy on it with its mods and looks bit Im not sure if its worth doing.

What exactly are stage one mods.....

Umm dunno it stated it in an add, from my memory, exhaust, computer, turbo upgrade i think dont quote me on that but lol.

I know none of the cars ive looked at have had major mods like forgies,cams etc but if I get a stocker for the right price I can modify myself.

Very funny JOE lol, hmm since yours is being rebuilt It makes me think of how hard you have driven it LOL.. And 33GTR came to mind but Im really loving the look of the 34s at the moment.

Colour choices are Black,Yellow and consider white..

Hmmm everytime I look at the s15 I fall in love with them, i never liked them b4 and they kind of growing on me now.

Still I love my skylines and they will always have my vote.

I might go have a look at the s15 and see what its like up close.

Hi I am the same as you Jayla I am tossing up between a S15 or R34 cant really decide what I want.

I think you should just have a look around for awhile and see what comes up and make a list of things that you want in a car and then do Pros and cons on each model.

They should make a R34 Front with R33 Behind.. mmmm

Yea what Joe said get a R33 GTR :)

If id had to get another car again, id get a Stockish R33 GTR. Dont like the notion of having a modified car, as you wont be able to "learn" or "know" what has been done to it.

The pathway of modding is fun and never ending + $$$$$ lol

Thanks guys, dOOdz your right about the $$$ situation, and I guess I do need to learn about cars so if I get a stock one its more or less better for me. If i find a nice 33 GTR ill get one but i need to limit what I like.

NI 33 your right it's hard one to decide I fallen in love with S15s for now

will be a tuff decision for you and me.

Sif S15. Too urgh

Well getting a stocker will cost $$$$ to mod, prolly more than buying a modded one already. But it will be interesting.

Id get a stocker with nice rims and exhaust. Screw the body kit do that your self when the car is modified/finished modified.

OOOo I got a fully sik car which looks nice but goes as fast as the speed of my lil cousin's push bike w00t!

I was in the same boat a few months back, tossing up between r34 or s15 :)

I went the s15 simply cause they look dam sexy, less fuel than my line, but still has balls and a nissan badge.

From use to owning a r33, there is definately differences you can tell:

*s15 has abit more lag compared to the r33 setup, but then again my r33 was 211rwkw on the std turbo, and still need to PFC my s15... hehe. Some s15 such as the specr and jap specs come with the BB turbo.

*S15 came std with ABS which is always a good thing, but the r34 does too :(

*The s15 tends to have abit more in cabin rattles than the 33, but overall the s15 is still comfy inside

*Less fuel with the s15, although mine is running pretty rich at the moment, still less fuel than the r33

*Dont have to lug around passangers that want to sit in the rear in the s15.. they look at the space and realise they rather take the bus :( haha...

*The rear end of the s15 is dam light compared to a 33 or 34... so watch out when it gets wet, but the rear feels heaps more controllable than the 33 did...

*Less spark plugs to purchase when im doing a plug change :( less hassle too as the piping going to the intake on the rb25 can be a hassle for plug changes

*S15's have that annoying VCT rattle when you start up sometimes for about 20secs... sounds gay, but you learn to live with it....

Finally, ive attatched a pic of my s15 for reference and how low it sits :(

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
