when buyin my car

my first choice was a supra as i've always wanted one since i first saw them

Yeah, I was lucky enough to be allowed to test drive one when I was shopping around with my dad for my car & I'm still drooling from the experience hehe.

I love how the dash seems to wrap around you and the electric seats were fun to play with too :headspin:

However I am forever loyal to skylines now so I voted for the GTT

hmm you sure about that release date ??????

cause mines a March 98 build........... No. 216 off the line....

According to the details that i have er34 was released for sale may 98 and bnr 34 , january 99 .

I guess they would have built some cars before the release date .

I have no reason not to believe the info that i have ..

Ok what about 4 door versions

R34 GTT 4 door

       vs

JZX100 chaser mkII

I still can't decide.

Oh geez, here we go! I vote the JZX100 for sure. Ok, maybe i'm bias, but they're hot. And no where near as many on the roads as the 34's, so relatively unique. However that works against you when you're modifying it, as i've found out recently....

One other factor I guess you also have to take into consideration is vehicle age and price. A majority of RZs going around are 93/94 (pushing to say 1995) models, while the oldest R34 is a 1998 model. You look at 1998 model supras and your looking at big $$$. We all know what I am getting at

...

Go the R34 :rofl:

i love my nissan. i really do. the gtr is a much better package than the supra when it comes down to driving. the supra FEELS heavy, when the line feels much more sporty. compare an RZ to a GTT??? supra any day.

and anyone that thinks toyota's better engines (1j, 2j, 1uz among many others) aren't performers better get their facts right. if it weren't for my loyalty to nissan engineers, i'd drop one of those engines into my gtr anyday. the 26 is nice. very nice. but its not as nice as a nice toyota six or eight imo.

    • Mate you saved be from dying in the Perth summer. AC wasn't changing direction and just going into diagnostics mode fixed it. You're a legend and I would shout you a beer if I could!
    • Unfortunately effort gone to waste, you will have substantial issues with how the manifold and wastegate have been integrated. You would be so much better off with a modified stock manifold like this: https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25detexgatedmanifold/   OR literally just getting a off the shelf Sinco or 6Boost manifold as myself and others have mentioned.  
    • Yuck. But it's kinda the same principle, moving timing around to make car run bad but sound good.... I went for a more spirited tuning drive to iron out a few things. Car no longer stalls, and it loved to dip RPM low when you clutch in. After tuning this (and the 4-5 tables that HPTuners/LS1 OEM ECU wants for idle air correction) it's now behaving somewhat normal. All expected because there's a new TB, new Intake manifold and that new TB which is 102mm vs 78... has an entirely different IAC passage which is smaller because ????? Unfortunately at this point I went to make further fine tuning changes to avoid it flaring up, you know... _tuning_ the HPTuners dongle died. Well to be more accurate - The USB cable died in a fashion that anyone who has ever charged a phone will recognize. After the app demanding I resync it 50 or so times (which all 'succeeded' but all failed) the device does not want to sync and I've logged a ticket with support to see if it's fixable. US Support said it was a 'storage issue' but after removing the SD card inside it and formatting it/fixing it the issue does persist. Unfortunately usually the fix is "Turn in your old dongle and pay $700 for the upgraded one" it's cheaper because I get some free licence credits I unfortunately don't need. However I'm 10 minutes down the road from HP Tuners AUS/VCM so at least I won't need to post it, and logged a new ticket for support over here. Definitely drives different. My SOTP dyno believes it's probably making 310-320kw instead of the 280 before.  It scrambles for traction a little now whereas it previously different. It drives like a bigger cam car up top even though the cam is smaller, likely due to the cam not being advanced 6 degrees. The timing is deliberately low and the fuel is very rich so who knows if this will improve on the dyno. It may, imperceptably. Also funny is removing the pineapples definitely makes the car squat more and axle tramp less. So this behavior of having more top end, squatting more, and scrabbling for traction more makes me think = more power. But I could have just been sitting on the threshold of that kind of behavior before. Time will tell if my butt dyno is calibrated right. I need the exhaust leaks fixed before dyno tune for obvious AFR related reasons - I repositioned the pipes but I'm not confident it's fully sealed even if it is better. At least the car does drive around while I cannot tweak/tune it for now. And I have aircon again. medium success!
    • Don't use that manifold. Please don't use that manifold. Sunk cost fallacy is not worth the later pain. None of these will be relevant to the change that will come from the different turbo and manifold. As in, the effect of the exhaust will be nil, regardless of what else is changed. And all the cam and fuel system stuff is not changing either way, so has no effect. The turbo and manifold (and to a small extent the wastegate)....big change.
