This is my dilemna...whether to get a 34 GTR at the end of the year or an S15

I like the idea of the GTR cos its solid as a rock, pretty damn off its tits to begin with, and most of all: its AWD

Problem with it is its damn expensive to buy in the first place :)

The S15 is my other option

I like that because its driftalicious, Can pump out 300rwkw with about 10-15k of mods(so Ive heard) and its much cheaper to buy in the first place

The only thing I can say against it is that it isnt all paw....but that isnt necessarily such a bad thing :D

What do you guys think? and why?

um - aren't they like at like opposite sides of the scale?

you'll be pushing to get 300rwkw out of an S15 without major internal work, but 250rwkw is probably pretty achieveable. It would be definitely fun, but it wouldn't be a GTR. Depends how much money you want to lose i guess - with depreciation and all..

lolz.. sam u really need to take a ~200rwkw RWD for a drive in the wet and you'll see why it can lose its fun pretty quickly :) but then again it can also be fun at the same time, so either way.

..depends how much hassle free living you want too. You'd never just drive an R34 GTR around town, leave it at a shopping centre, all that sort of thing, you'd just be worried some idiot would do something to it, either accidentally or even deliberately (there are some right #$%DFDS out there). So think of the stresses involved, never mind the $6k-$10k insurance bill ?? So much of the time you'd probably be leaving it in the garage? Not much fun in that. Even a $20k skyline you get stressed about, never mind a 70k+ one.

S15 you could thrash around, lose a couple of panels :D, pick 'em up from Nissan locally, try and snap the diff, determine at what speed the handbrake snaps, all the fun things like that, and then after a hard days workout, bang in the back all night long and not worry in the world :)

*** im going to dirty ho bitch slap u with a fat camel **** if u put the R34 GTR in contention with an S15... S15 is so not even in the same sentence even if that sentence was "omg that S15 is shit compared to the R34 GTR" cause its common knowledge and need not be mentioned in the presence of the king!!

closing thread...

i say if you want a good car, gtr...i mean if you are considering it, you probably can afford it right? even if you have to wait a bit longer. just look at them, s15 is a nice looking car, but thats about it..."a nice looking car" isnt what i see when i look at a 34 gtr...i see a ****ing awesome car, that is mean and serious performance

and it makes me get all testosterone(sp) infected and i just want to do a big "tim allen"...AAARRGGGHHH

plus you owe me a drive in a skyline!

seriously...what were you thinking?

not on a gts-t in single form, in twin setup on a gtr yes very easily.

    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
