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.

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
