R34 Gtr Or Audi S3?

[chef_stagea]

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...

~4yrs I think 34Rs will be 40-50k still. (Especially for the good ones)

~4yrs time, Audi will be 20k like the 00-02 ones atm? Plus under steer and slow out of the box...

I like euros, but not Audi. They make boring cars (R8 excused)

I have been looking for a r34 gtr for quite a while now and am starting to also consider other options...............

Value for money, newer and better condition options.

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

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.

Deep down - its a $50,000 VW Golf.

GTR FTW

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

If your going to buy an Audi it has to be a v8 quattro

[w34ponGT]

GTR is respected simple as that

[chef_stagea]

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.

GTR !! You already know your getting it lol advice is what you ask for when you already know the answer haha

[Iron Chef]

...and if you're asking the question in a Skyline forum, you already know the answer

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.

i think this is the best way to put it, if you bought the s3, you'd forever want the 34gtr. But if you bought the GTR you'd soon forget about the s3.

^^^^ he knows

I agree

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
