R34 is my dream car. I've never driven a GTR but I've seen both cars being driven (R34 briefly at a car show, Stillens GTR )

Right now I see the GTR as a performance car for those looking into high end cars with a budget.I see the R34 as an enthusiasts car, great looks, great potential, and risks (in the states)

Maybe one day I'll have one

Funny - I searched for something like this on Google, and it took me back to another thread on NICO where someone else posted it lol... "themadscientist"

I wasn't going to post on this thread as it looked old but now i will.

Which one is really hard to say as both cars look great and both have a lot to offer.If i really had to pick on i guess i would go with the R34 but i would be very split,the fact of the transmission on the R35 does not bother me myself drive R33 auto which is rapid and i feel no less of a driver as the predal offers me different control over the way the box changes and it does not take much foot work to make the box do cruise changes to rapid through the turbo changes and with the extra controls over the box it alters even more.This is along side other great rapid auto setups i have driven in well tuned Supra's 3000gt's and Impreza's.My point is the way the car is set up is fun and not moving a stick up and down if the car is setup right then you will not notice and be more worried about holding onto the car.

These are some pics we took last year at a car show.

1. If it was going to be a track car...R32 with the 34's 26 and all the equivalent Z-tune goodies.

2. to just lolligag around town, show off and get into the occasional street race...R35

3. If I wanted something to shove my VQ30DET into and scare the caca out of people...R34.

With all that said, I might just find myself in a R32 GTR soon ...The 33 hasn't grown on me enough yet

Between the 34 & 35, I like them both really. The new GTR is a bit on the heavy side though isn't it?

The r34 Nismo Z-Tune is the best car ever made IMO.

r34 definetly, throw an hks f-con V-pro and titanium exhaust on that beast it'll pwn anything. i'd probably be too scared to try and find a place to plug in any kind of tuner on an r35, plus the rb26dett seems much more traditional and therefore kicks more a**

You're only gonna get so much out of an RB26DETT with just a titanium exhaust and HKS F-con.

I wouldn't say it would pwn anything, but it would still be a monster.

Hell, just in my R33 V-Spec, upping the boost a little made one hell of an improvement, but still not where I would like it to be.

Ahhh...if only I had a spare $15k lying around...lol

R34 V-Spec if I could get a clean one that was 100% legal in the US.

However, the R35 is a great car. Noisy as hell though and the upkeep will drain your bank account (as mentioned in an earlier post).
