Fellow nissan drivers. I have been driving a 200sx s-15 for a while and now am sick of the damn thing. Not that it is a bad drive, it is just that it lacks something. It really cant be described. I recently drove my friends skyline R33 GTS which was fuc#$%^ awsome. I knew what i was missing out on. However i have now been looking at the R34 range espically the GTR range. I just want a stock one but can only get it from an importer. Ther trouble is i have no one i kno who drives the thing. I looked and read a shit load of reviews but they are all from professional experts. So here is the delimma i wanted to kno from anyone out there what it is really like. Obviously there is a damn load of power and that sort of things but what is the driving like? what is the turbo kick in like? however in the quest for these answers i have to ask while driving my 200sx i get a load of people trying me out at the light. It doesnt matter i will get a excel to a calais to a lanos to well u kno what i mean. Does it get worse with a skyline R34 GTR? Pls help me with this situtation.

Regards

Aiike

If you can afford o 34 gtr you wont be dissapointed at all , if you can buy a V-Spec or better still M-Spec or Nur-Spec .

I can assure you you wont leave it stock for long though .

Thre is no comparison with the s15 or gtt for that matter and in the wet you just power on when you would be sliding in the s15 .

A stock R34 GTR is actually a really nice car to drive. Still sounds good but not crazy loud. Stock suspension is nice on the street and the brakes are good.

For whatever reason I rarely ever seem to get people wanting to run me in mine either - but then maybe its because Im never looking for it.

Turbo's come on strong when you put your foot down and pull all the way through to 8,000rpm.

But for example a stock R34 is speed and rev limitted and the stock ECU runs a little rich.

And this is where the GTR gets tough - its easy to modify. We put a stock R34 GTR on a dyno and it made 178rwkw's. Simple exhaust, cam gears, and ecu mods and it was upto 255rwkw's. Then bugger it - we'll add some bigger trubo's, injectors and afm's and wow - 325rwkw's. Now we are saving for a bottom end upgrade.........

They are a great stock car - but difficult to keep that way.

to drive around daily I would prefer a non V Spec as they are more comforatable on our roads.

However the V Spec does have the Carbon Rear Diffuser, the Front Diffuser (which adds to the front lip), the extra read outs on the MFD (exhaust temp and inlet temp) and the harder tuned suspension for more spirited driving amongst other things.

The V-Spec suspension really isn't too bad daily driving. I in the past have daily driven my V-Spec and its nowhere near as bad as your average import with aftermarket full sick suspension. Here are the pros and cons of having an R34 GTR daily driver:

Pros

- Less kids trying to race your car - I don't know why but I just wasn't getting it as much as when I drove the GTSt

- Awesome power whenever you want it

- Grip everywhere, in the rain its especially great

- You get looks everywhere you go

- I dont seem to get any attention from cops ?

- Brakes are amazing

- I dont seem to go through tyres at anywhere near the rate i did in my RWD car

- Price of parts is falling every day, loads of R32 GTRs around make the price of parts that just bolt onto any RB26 fall

- It's a piece of motoring history !

Cons

- You cant park it just anywhere

- You cant see out the back at night due to the spoiler and the stock tint

- It drinks a lot of fuel

- Your girlfriend will be jelous of the time you spend with the car :(

- No factory warranty

- You wont be able to stop modifying it :D

that's cos they know they got no chance against the almighty zilla!

However, a GTSt is a little more vulnerable .. especially in stock form.

      RB25 S2 Idles but doesn't want to rev

      By Trilbyte · Posted

      Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated

      Nice modern Hypergear high flow would be perfect.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.

      300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile

      A couple of things, firstly omg that turbo is expensive! $3,000 USD for dinosaur technology is robbery. You could buy a G series turbo and have a good amount of change instead.  If you want a good budget option, have a look here - https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/ If you are keen to spend more, have look at the modern turbos, Garrett G series, Borgwarner EFR, etc. Have a look at the RB25 dyno results thread for inspiration.  If you upgrade your turbo to something that will support the 300hp you want and only "probably" have Haltech ECU, your car will only "probably" run. Actually, no it won't run. You are going to need the ECU and injectors at the time you do the turbo upgrade.  No thoughts on "this much boost" as you didn't say how much boost that actually is. Having said that, plenty of unopened RB25's making even more power then what you are chasing.
