I think you'll find as said above, that the 34 compared to the s15, or any model skyline compared with its silvia equivilant, is a much more robust car with generally a better build quality. We have two s15's in my family along with my 33 and have driven many 34's and it is quite noticable. for example the doors etc feel a lot fuller than the tinnie feeling silvia. that said though i still think the s15 is a top car, drives more like a go cart compared with a skyline.

Also the jdm spec silvia's run higher boost from factory which is one of the reasons for the increase in power. We took out a approx 10cm vac line located near the standard solenoid on the silvia and replaced it with a generic fuel line and now have 1 bar of boost virtually for free. :D

Both top cars... i had the same dilemma when looking to buy a ride.. either an S15 or an R34. I test drove countless number of examples.. in the end stuck out with the R34. There's not much in it, but i chose the R34 as it felt a little more sturdy, and if you love the sound of the straight six turbo well your choice has already been made. But seriously, you'd be happy either way.

If you're gonna buy a 34 or a s15, please make sure u be careful choosing one.

There are so many dodgy ones out there ESP. on parra road.

Not to "defame" any businesses but some of them are just the worst.

Good luck man =] both are nice cars at the end of the day.

lol this is a rather old thread, but in a couple of years ive got a feeling ill be in the same boat (s15 or r34), but ive got a question about the resale values.

obviously both cars will eventually sit back to the prices of s13s/r32 gtsts (maybe even less due to petrol prices).. but when s15s are the same age do u think the 34 will hold its value more just as the 32 is holding value better than s13s? the 32 obviously has the bathurst GT-R lookalike heritage, but according to this thread, has the skyline 'build quality' on its side (which i do believe is true as the skyline was sold as a more expensive car and the S chassis was sold as the cheaper, perhaps 'funner' version)

so what are peoples thoughts about their resale values? are there any similar threads on this sort of thing (in like 10 or so years time)?

      Fake ARP bolts?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, maybe not. The main feature of Chinese manufacture seems to be incredibly variable quality, coupled with an apparent willingness to find a way to see even the stuff that fails QC. So the military could still take the cream of the production run and somehow sell the "sellable but not really useable" stuff to the stupid round eyes on the other side of the world.

      Have you adjusted the clutch pedal rod? You can wind it in to shorten it. Just can be a cnut to get to.

      Fake ARP bolts?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Yes sir, that was me. Fake ARP's are also a thing over here in Canada and we only order from reputable dealers. It's sad that even simple things like bolts and hoses are now also being copied... anything to make a dollar.  Story time. Like all cheap crap from China, it's even an issue with firearms. Roughly 15 years ago, I purchased a new cheap Norinco 12g shotgun. First time out in the bush with it, while firing, bolt assembly didn't lock and it fired out of battery. The receiver also being cheap steel, basically exploded in my face. I was lucky to be wearing eye protection. Long story short, don't buy Chinese junk. Also Norinco being state run and their only military arms producer, if ever they do try and take over a country, don't worry about it lol.

      Nismo copper mix twin “pull” pedal height engagement

      By ck_chino · Posted

      Installed  Nismo coppermix twin competition spec last year in my bnr32 with pull trans with Oem slave cylinder. The point at where the clutch disengages/enages is right at the top of the clutch pedal, meaning I barely have to push the pedal down for the clutch to be disengaged.  You guys that have the same combo are you experiencing this high pedal bite point??   Secondly I’d like to have the disengagement point lower meaning I have to push the pedal more(further not effort)for it to be disengaged.  I’m thinking to use a Nismo big operating cylinder(bigger bore at 13/16 vs Oem 3/4) which will require more pedal stroke to get the equivalent movement at the clutch fork. But I see Nismo web site says not to mix these 2 as the Nismo big operating cylinder doesn’t have enough stroke to disengage??? Any folks run both the coppermix twin pull with Nismo cylinder??    Thanks in advance for the replies but prefer only guys with pull clutches to respond. thanks
