Hi all, sold all my toys and now want to do somthing eles.

Ive had the idea of a 34r for a while (causing me to sell all my bitts) and have now got tge following for the gtr

Hks cams

Os giken cam wheels

Hks type s coilovers

Volk work 19x10.5 +12 ce28n wheels

Apexi weldina cat back

Midori front pipe (with decat)

Apexi power fc with boost cobtroller

Would also do,

Injectors (550cc)

Fuel pump

Thats bout it oerformance wise...

But ive now liked the idea of an audi s3,

Id like to move to melbourne by the end of the year,

How r the police over there?

Both cars will be financed, and both will be about low 50s to get on the road.

Im very sus a 34r will be worth more than low 30s in 4 yrs time. (actual sale price!!)

The audi is good coz its just a step away from the bullshit of cars! And more melbourne!

Ive never driven either but thr dsg box and qauttro sounds very fast!

If i were to go gtr id get a cheap run around too...

S3 can be quick, but come on is it really on par with a GTR :P

The only real benefit I can see is less attention from the police and perhaps insurance, but if you're going to get a bunky for daily use then no problems there.

the gtr is nice and sexy and will be a head turner, but remember maintenance will be more than the s3, also the s3 will be cheaper to insure in most places. s3 is more comfy, nicer ride, better handling, better fuel consumption. performance wise it ist that much slower than a gtr, 0.5 seconds to 100 isnt noticeable.

also the s3 is vastly different to a golf, in every aspect, engine, gearbox etc. has heaps of tuning potential but will cost roughly as much to tune as a GTR.

in the end it comes down to personal preference. the s3 can be had in 3 or 5 door. so if you have a family, its much more easier to go audi.

also consider police attention, GTR is pretty bad, while the s3 is seen more as normal car.

but if your going loosely on looks, GTR will win hands down

i iunderstand that, but the gtr is not going to be able to be slapped into a street carpark, left alone, driven, comfortablty easy etc etc... and also vic is very flat unless you go way way out of the city so not alot of driving to be had, where as my adelaide house is litteraly 50m inside the cival side of the hills.

I vote for the GT-R (whilst owning a 530i BMW too) and get a $2K Corolla to run up the Kms.

'Tis better to get the wet weather dirt on your daily as well.

Really, it'd be different if you were comparing the GT-R with an RS.

I was tossing up between Evo 8MR/9 or R34 GTR for a while after selling my R32. Did a lot of research online, asked for people's opinions etc.

After ONE drive in both, my mind was made up :)

My advice would be to go out and do some test driving. If you have your finances sorted and are serious about buying one, don't be shy to take them for a drive!

I just bought some Nismo skirts and pods for my new car. Guess which one I chose. action-smiley-069.gif

dsg and quattro does not sound fast it sounds expencive if u buy the audi leave it stock or have deep pockets

wheres you know what the gtr is capable of. Drive both i already know what u will choose once you own a jap car you will never turn to the dark side

    • Do you plan on using 98 or e85?
    • This should be pretty easy. 200rwkW is just about the max power out of an RB25 stock turbo. So, 12ish psi on a 2.5L. That boost limited mainly by the prospect of seeing the turbine in the cat after the smoke show. A steel wheeled equivalent would likely happily do ~220rwkW at something like 17 psi, where it would probably be bumping into the usual limits of such a sized turbo. These things have like a .48 rear. You will not need the 0.86 rear. The 0.64 will be fine. In fact, if you were looking at various mid-200rwkW options for RBs, most of them would be in a 0.64 rear. So, I think you will definitely want to be no bigger than that for a same sized but probably even more efficient (at making power) modern engine.
    • Change the subframe bushes, transforms the car.
    • For something a little more serious, Davinci Resolve is about the best there is for free video editors. No expiration dates or watermarks, completely free.
    • Well, it's taken me until the last week of 2024 to actually do something on the Skyline but I consider it a good head start to 2025's efforts! I managed to justify (to myself anyway...) my purchase of the lift table. It made taking the rear subframe out a lot easier than it would have been without anyway! Everything is out and stripped down ready for a clean then powdercoating.  She's pretty grubby under there but pretty good condition for a 38 year old Japanese tin bucket. 12 years of zero street time have obviously helped that... I need to decide which of the factory suspension arms I will keep and replace so I only get what I'm keeping powdercoated.  Baby steps but it's a start!
