WOOWWWWw that car looks FREEKIN awesome. I have always known R34's are gr8, but why have I never really taken them into account when wanting a car? I dunno why I only wanted an R33, the 34 is soo much better looking I love its squared end. Is an R34 gt better then R33 gts series 2?

if you have just under 20K i would consider S2000, NA Supra MKIV, RX8, Integra Type R, Magna Ralliart, XR6, SV6. These are probably the best cars, in terms of performance, you can drive on your p's.

However you seem pretty keen on getting an R34 or R33. I would say get an R34 for roughly 12K, and with left over money, maybe make it look nice. The R34 will give you decent performance (assuming you dont expect it too beat the above mentioned cars at the traffic light grand prix), a nice looking car and (thanks too the p plate rules) a car that will hold its value...... so in 2/3 years time sell it and buy a turbo skyline/Silvia/JDM car.

hahaha traffic light grand prix, I rly like that :D I guess a supra would be nice, they are magnificant cars, but you are right, I have a problem with skylines :D I will look into supras but. In all of you guys oninions, is an imported car better then one form an aussie owner? imported being less kms, one owner and in good nick, or aussie owner being alot of ks, more owners and in a bad/ lower quality shape? Is the money worth an import?

this is how my r34 N/A was looking. to be honest, and not being modest, mine was the best r34 gt/gtt shell going around melbourne (besides the black one with eastbear bodykit)

would look a lot better if it didn't have cheese cutters stretched onto fat rims.

wide tyres on wide rims = tough

skinny tyres on skinny rims = not that tough, but still ok

skinny tyres on wide rims = hellaflush = ooo look at me = epic fail.

Yeah that's one thing I don't like about the rest of the Silvia community

Why would you put 215's over 9.5 inch wide rims? Seriously

*facepalm*

RWD fanbois need to pull their tampons out and go for a decent drive in a decent fwd. there's plenty of fwd cars that handle better than a lot of rwd cars

Just not a fan of understeer or torque steer

if you're buying an r34 n/a don't buy it for the performance as you will be very disappointed, buy it for the looks and experience in driving the car, sure it's not as quick as an integra/prelude/xr6/commodore/pulsar/some civics/s2000/supra n/a/magna you get the point (it's one of the most slowest N/A cars out there)

take it apart and do minor fixes / repair/ services yourself and learn more about the car so when you do upgrade to the GTT or GTR you're able to know the car that you drive better

as for this thread, i have a feeling it'll turn into another FWD vs RWD

Agree with grey. I honestly think most p platers dont need the fastest na car available anyway, i know my fat arsed v6 vr commodore was enough to get me in trouble plenty of times. I say if you like the look of the 33/34 skyline then go for it mate.

*facepalm*

this may be so...but its a totally different feeling, and one i wouldnt trade. no matter how nice the FWD drives. RWD not FTW, but for the fun.

Get the 34, make it look good, pull up at the lights and you will have people (mainly P-platers) breaking there necks for a race.

give it abit of a rev but dont race them

trust me, everyone thinks skylines are quick (they dont always take into account its non-turbo)

I had a guy who has tried to race me at the lights around town for months ask me why i dont race him in his commo, truthly i know hed kill me, but he doesn't know that haha.

I own a 32 N/a ... not a performance car, but certainly gets looks and is still fun as hell to drive :)

I know what you mean! Had this old guy roll down his passenger window joking about how fast my car was at the lights(he thought it was a GTR), i told him it was non turbo and slow, then he said to me yeah it's only slow in this type of traffic -_-

Trust me everyone will think it's fast but at all costs, don't rice it up lol

    • Looking at finally painting and installing my R32 GTR wing I bought back in 2018. I got two quotes: Quote 1: $880 includes: wing, spare boot, holes welded up prep/paint. Pro: full boot with wing AND hole-less boot with lip i can swap between Con: $$  Quote 2: $330 wing only. Pro: cheaper Con: lose my (relatively) rare no holes sedan boot Also to consider I do plan on painting my whole car at some point "soon" (been saying that since 2018) Anyway Enjoy these All Japan Day 2025 pictures of my 4 door, still rocking the Calsonic Livery! Rolling in Interior shot Matching Peer Pressure Racing overalls are pretty cute ngl. This year was a hard 1990 cut so I got to be over with all the older cool stuff Next to arguably the best car there. A mighty S-Cargo
    • I personally would run 2x from the cam covers into the catch can, 1x sump vent to catch can (would mount this at a low point of the catch can, so it can also act as a drain). I would see if you can run a -12AN down there to improve venting and also draining. The head drain thing, just drain that back to the sump on the other side. Catch can to be vented, unless you plumb or back to the intake.
    • Yeah the head "drain" is rather a sump/crank case vent. My catch can stopped filling up after venting the sump to the catch can. I have 4x fittings in mine, which is about 5Ls. 2x cam, 1x sump vent/catch can drain, 1x fitting back to the intake and a massive breather which can be blocked so it's a fully sealed system.
    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
