I was talking standard turbos on both cars. Both cars will make similar power but the S15 is almost 250kg lighter.

By the same token you'll have to swap the injectors, the intercooler and need a powerfc to get that power figure on the SR20.

You'd almost get that sort of power from an R34 GTT just by upping the boost and leaving the rest alone. Leeman clocked just over 200rwkw with just a Greddy Boost Controller at 12psi on stock everything.

In White will look much nicer...

White looks great on them

From what i have read and from what i have driven, the R34 GTT is the pick from the S15 however if someone has the $$$ an GTR will be the ultimate.

Have you driven a GTR yet?

You can go spastic on them or just a few nice bits, eg;

spastic;

forged rods

forged pistons

head baffles

sump baffles

jun/n1 oil pump

n1 water pump

044 fuel pump

600cc injectors

nismo FPR

new turbo/s (easy $2500 there)

twin/triple plate clutch

gearset (when you smash the stocker)

better radiator

better FMIC

new ECU

exhaust

headwork, cams + cam gears

=a fair bit and a SHITload of power (easy 350awkw)

few nice bits;

new ECU

exhaust

EBC at 15 psi

clutch (if you like launching)

=not much at all, that on mine did 262 rwkw so it went fast enough to get around - dont forget with awd you get all the power to the ground

Good luck with it all

Hey Guys,

As most of you knew, I owned an R33 S2 GTSt with 200rw/kw for quite a few years and now almost 6 months driving a 2005 Pulsar Q I’m itching for a new power toy.

Basically I would LOVE an R34 GTR however its way out of my budget ($23,000) and so I have been test driving the following:

R32 GTR

Pros: Twin Turbo + 4WD + Excellent handling + Cheap (under $20,000)

Cons: 15 yr old + Most in poor condition + will need lots of $$$ for restoration (paint, interior .etc.)

S15 Jap Spec

Pros: New (current) shape + gorgeous interior + light weight + SR20DET (easier and cheaper to mod then RB's)

Cons: RWD (traction issues) + needs big work for big power

R34 GTT

Pros: New shape + Nice interior + Easy to get big power + Excellent handling

Cons: RWD (traction issues) + Heavy

I personally love the look of the the S15 and the R32 GTR but love the drive of the R34 GTT...

My question:

In regards to value for money and response to performance mods, which of these three cars should I go for?

NOTE: This will be a weekend car ONLY

Please feel free to comment

Sarkis

Valid comparison although to say s15 has a gorgeous interior and GTT has nice interior is probably the wrong way round if not overstating both.

I like the s15's looks on the outside but since a worked SR20 sounds like pus I have to have an RB.

The costs in keeping the GTR running and modded are high.

I am biased towards the GTT since I have one although I did this same comparo when I bought it, albiet with a larger amount of money involved.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
