M35 better? OoooKkkkkAaaaaaYyyyy :)

If I was to retire, you know, get old and wrinkly, then yes, I'd most likely get a M35. Also if I lost my balls to the missus and was legally castrated oops I mean married, then yes, I'd get a M35.

But if you want to actually DRIVE a car, and enjoy it, then there's no substitute to the S1 260RS :rofl:

Sure they are a little older. Sure they don't have the fancy leather interior, but come on. If your prepared to spend some $$$ you can end up with a vehicle that's totally sponge worthy.

I'll have to do a Google search and see if the side effects of testicle removal result in suffering from delusions ...

I think I prefer the M35 series in general. Newer, a bit more stylish.

Not only because I own one, but I'm the only one in the area that has one. (to my knowledge)

The C34's are quite common around here, not quite like a Commonwhore, but they are seen daily.

I still like the C34's, they have a unique shape to them, and the R34 front end conversions look the part.

Performance wise, I cannot comment. Only driven a few M35's (Axis, 250t and ARX) all of them seemed the same to me.

ahh. this thread is stupid. A M35 owner isn't going to say the C34 is better. 1. Becuase the M35 is more expensive. 2. They bought the M35 cuase they prefer it. A C34 owner on the otherhand..)mind you alot of you guys purchased them when they were at the same going rate as a M35 is now).... is most likly not goin to say the M35 is better.

Me, Personally. I bought a C34 Series 2 becuase i thought it looked much better. And...I still do, buying it has only convinced me that i am happy with the choices i made. Even after the insurance payout, I opted again for a C34 and not a M35. But for me, i do want to modify my C34, and i love the fact that parts and what not are much more so readily available, and servicable by numerous reputable mechanics. I also found that with my last series 2, i was able to get 10-12L per 100km consistently, so buying a M35 for better fuel consumption was viod in my mind.

For me, it was the looks of the series 2. I'll be honest and say i dont like the series ones, i GENERALLY dont like m35's, though When they are tastfully modified they do look great.

brunettes are better

I'm with you Duncan. However I do love the S1 C34, especially as I now have a front facing plenum and an fmic.

Seriously M35 in whatever form still have that arse ugly rear end and VOLVO tail lights. No wonder Nissan stopped making them.

Boxy is better.

which is better.. ca18 or sr20?

:down:

Well one son has a 225kw CA18 drifter, he is allowed turbo, just got No 2 son a nice N/A S13 manual

A good SR will take a lot of beating though.

Some of the Sil drivers are now going RB and RS for the powa!

Nissans are interesting to fiddle with.

My 'Inaccurate'. Are you going to say a C34 is better? No. You and i'm sure almost every other M35 owner would have bought one (M35) because they thought it was superior. Every C34 owner, in most cases excluding financial ( level playing field so we will exclude the 260rs aswell) would have bought a C34 becAUse they thought it was superior or the M35 wasn't a vaiable option at the time.

Its a usless topic/thread becuase you ask.. What is better..and why? That's; like others have stated, up to personal opionion. What is Abnormal? Is there really abnormal or is that object, normal and everything else normal in it's own way?

You could do a poll to find out which is better, but then the results would be biased becuase of differing populations of owners ( ie. 10 C34 owners, 2 M35 etc etc ).

At least you got a good response and have kept me from pure boredom tonight.. I thank you.

OK then!

I sort of get what you are saying......you made a good pointless KW!!

FFS!!! I couldn't give a shit what you or anyone else can afford or not afford(price was never stated in the thread topic)... e.g If I really wanted it I could buy an R35(would have to sell the house though.....not sure how the wife would take it :thumbsup: )....but no....I still prefer the R32 GTR because its a classic....and yes I have driven all models.

Why would I exclude model's like the RS260?....well then lets exclude every M35 bar the VQ25DE 2WD 4 speed auto model!

Whats your problem mate?...you looking for an argument!...I guess there's one in every thread aye....this time it's you Scott!

P.S. A little heads up...if you think the thread is stupid then don't post in it....makes you look stupid! Your original second and third paragraph was good....Pity about the first paragraph.....you added nothing constructive.....and you obviously got the reaction you were looking for!!!.....I'll have to remember to shoot down the next thread you start.

You twat. Perhaps becuase the RS260 is the benchmark model C34. The M35 VQ25DET is it's latter model counterpart. Where is the GTR engine M35? Mate, im not the only one shotting your thread down. Its silly asking to compare. Lets all compare whos got bigger sticks next time?

"P.S. A little heads up...if you think the thread is stupid then don't post in it....makes you look stupid!"- Yes it makes me look stupid. :thumbsup:

"lol....me a keyboard warrior???....mate you are barking up the wrong tree big time...." You answerd your own question here...

"FFS!!! I couldn't give a shit what you or anyone else can afford or not afford." Right this is why I said exclude finances because The owner has made up his mind on what he is goin to buy; "would have bought a C34 becAUse they thought it was superior". Where do i say-In that sentence, 'wouldve have bought a C34 becuase they couldn't afford a M35'. Your hole topic was never about finances and i tried keeping it that way. But some *******8 put his foot right in his own shit- "If I really wanted it I could buy an R35". I persnally don't want to hear people big noting themselves on a internet forum. Nor do i want to see people belitteling others(See below). Such as YOU with the whole spelling. What, you didnt expect a reactment. ( Do you come from a manegerial role? ;) )

"but it's Because and cause....not Becuase and cuase.....I know there's a Emoticon for this"... "Whats your problem mate?...you looking for an argument!".- I guess you baited the hook, i took the bait, ran of with your hook and now your a little upset. I Sir, Do not like you. You started this, accept responsibility.

Oh. And you still havn't proven why this comment is innaccurate- ""A M35 owner isn't going to say the C34 is better"."

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
