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

      You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.

      Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.
