wow, 164rwkw from a natro. must've had a bit of work done to it.

as for what to go, well don't pay too much attention to the kms on the clock as there is a very good chance that they are not genuine and the actual car has done much more. secondly, there is no M spec r33. you are actually refering to the type M (M spec is a version of the r34 GTR). pretty much every r33 GTS-T is a type M (with the exception of one of the models of the sedan), so don't bother only looking at cars that say type M in the description. if it is a gts-t then you can assume it's a type M. i know i'm beaing picky but too many (in fact most) people get this info wrong.

as for things to know about the r34, well a lot of parts will be common to both r33 and r34. for the parts that are different you shouldn't really find it any more difficult to find parts for either car.

as for which car to get, it really comes down to what you like the look of the most.

rb25neo is a much better engine, solid lifters for starters, digital dash so I dont know if they are harder to wind back. much nicer interior, feels more nible from what ive experienced, I preffer 34 for looks but that part is personal taste

not a case of winding back, they simply just put in the instrument cluster out of a car that has done less kms. very few people bother with physically winding back the clock these days. so much easier just to get a second hand one from the wreckers.

r34, a r33 in my books is not a real skyline, just a mangled ugly UFO car, which just somehow managed to crash into the Nissan factory, and steal a rb25/20 engine to blend in.

Neo is more responsive and also feel smoother.

+ the usual, less fuel less co2 etc etc.

also a r34 is absolutely sexy.

R34 mate, its simply a newer car, nicer interior your getting a car that was realeased first in 98 not 1993 (yes i know your looking at a series 2, but really theres minor changes with the interior). As people have said, the neo engine is better and newer. PLus you have had the R33.... time to upgrade not side shift.

    • Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?
    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
    • No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.
    • Does anyone know if this is off centered? Looks like it, when I indicate to go right, but turn my steering wheel slightly left it cancels (was always like that even before I started messing around with it) was wondering if anyone else has the same issue?
    • Nothing photo worthy since last update, lots of little plumbing bits for the AAC/Cold start valves, and unfortunately I still need another couple of parts for the brake booster line and the AAC into the plenum. Otherwise it all looks good to start up engine wise, onto checking the electrics/interior
