Z-tune is nice, but i'd take a Mine's built R34 gtr any day, has been my 'hero' car ever since that episode of hot version with tsuchiya and orido test driving it.

The ultimate response machine

You could always make up some big fakie "Mines" stickers for yours :whistling:

I might as well just drop an LS into it, neither will make it any faster just make me look homo...

;)

Sounds like someone's jelly, don't be jelly Steve I still heart you :P...

But what your saying is you want me to help you put an LS in your 34 and apply the mines stickers :yes:

Having owned both in the last 2 years I feel I can assist.

The R35 is an engineering marvel handles well and insanely quick the gearbox is brilliant. If you looking for a daily driver or something thats quiet and comfortable that the cops wont look at this is the car great bang for buck.

I sold mine to own my 2001 R34 GTR VSpec II :) although not as new or as technologically advanced the 34 has a heap of things the 35 doesnt have.

1. A soul

2. Requires the input of the driver

3. Great manual gearbox

4. An engine bay that doesnt look like a nissan maxima

5. A soundtrack that you just dont get in the 35 (Mine has a T04z with external gate screamer its marvelous :)

6. Plenty of great Jap wheel choices and aftermarket parts.

7. Far cheaper in every area besides fuel :(

My 34 feels similar to a gt3 porsche in the sense that you get a lot of feedback from the car and do not feel detached like you do in the 35.

I love the 35 and will own one again as a daily because in that area its brilliant (if you want a quick daily). Although overall the true heart of a Japanese sportscar was lost with the 35 Im all for innovation although when you build a car with the intentent that a grandma can drive it it shows.

0-100km/h in 2.8sec is fun for scaring people but for the driver no skill. One example went to the drags and got an 11.1 4 times in a row with my 35 nothing I could do differently so went home.

Where as the 34 the difference in skill level and fun at the drags is amazing.

So my advice if your looking for a car that you dont want to modify and thats great on the street a newer the 35 is awesome.

If your after a real drivers car that you can work on and it will be evident the 34 is the go.

    • Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open
    • Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
