: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 :(

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
