R32 vs. R34

[Xeno-Vibe]

NSX. It is a brilliant car. Any car that had input from Aryton Senna wouldn't be anything less.

Haha yea, he tested it while casually dressed and wearing loafers. Funniest looking heel-toe clip i've ever seen.

Sorry for the brashness, NismoS-tune, it wasn't meant that way.

I have both an R32 (endless tuned) and an R33 Vspec. The R32 is lighter and way more nimble. But the R33 is an absolute treasure on the highway (true gt car) and very comfy. R32 versus R34? An R34 is very "playstation", the R32 is much more racy. Personally, come 2014, I'm going to pick up an R34 to complete the trifecta!

You're my hero.

Love NSX's. Awesome cars and totally underappreciated.

After the above videos I had to consider the NSX. Thought never occured to me.
I haven't seen my wife in almost 2 monthes (effin job) and I bounce all my ideas off of her. She's not REALLY a car nut however her first car was (and still is) a WRX.
I sent her some pics of a NSX and an R34 asking her input/preference. This was her reply...
"The R34 is more a car guys car. The NSX is a head turner for ppl who don't know **** about ****."
One more reason why I married her!

True story. Whenever I drive around Cold Lake area with my buddy and his bone stock NSX, he gets ALL the attention - bastard lol. I think most people think it's a Ferrari.

So many good points. All this being said I think I MIGHT be faced with the daunting task of talking the Minister of War and Finance (wife if you didn't get it) into letting me blow $20g into the wind on a 20 year old Nissan. Should be easy!
Not gonna lie, Frankie is an inspiration. I effin' love that car!

R34 drivetrain is FAR better than the R32.

6spd indestructable getrag vs shitty R32 transmissions that break lots.
Active torque vectoring (can control individual rear wheel torque output)
1000hz AWD resolution
etc.


Are R32's awesome? Damn right they are. But R34's are too.

Ok put them on a track and see what happens

Here's an older video with older cars. Cars now a days are faster again.

here's some 'JDM TYTE" videos for you. we'll leave the muscle cars out for now and let the little cars battle.

ooo! R34 Vspanked

I guess the Vspec did ok, but it's not $40k

Well then, as it happens I have a buyers guide in front of me for the new cars (includes warranty, not 20 year old "sorry to
Hear about that" break downs lol:


New Taurus SHO (lol)
Used corvette z06
370z (I think?)

Mustang GT or 302 boss.
Some of the newer top end camaros are a pinch over 40k and put much more power down
392 challenger
Srt-8 charger
Evo X MR
VW Golf-R (GTI)

most of these are close to $40k and slightly slower or faster than an R34 due to newer technology, stiffer ride, not 20 years old and tired. In case I might be off on some of these. The SHO is the crazy one, it's stupid. 4 door 0-60 in 5secs lol

doesnt an r34 gtr do 0-60 in less than 5 seconds? my stock r32 does so you would think it would... anyway i am having this same argument in my head lately and i dont know if i can decide... i want both but i think i would rather get rid of my car ( its not a v-spec or anything that will be worth alot in the years to come) and start a build on an r34 not for any one reason but cause for one my car has not been touched yet so i have all of the cars weaknesses to fix (crank collar, ceramic turbine wheels, my syncros are getting worn out (must have been driven hard despite running like a brand new car every wher else) (or by someone not too good with the stick) :P and the r34 has all of this stuff dealt with already. i have heard that the drivetrain is not as strong in the 34 (weaker diff and trans) but im not going for crazy power (500 is my limit i think) so if i can get a good price for my car (16 would probably be enough) can you actually get that much for a clean gtr? mine has 88k and is bone stock with no exterior interior mods. but anyway thats my two cents you have put more money in your car so i would say if its feasable just keep the 32 and turn it into a track monster and keep the 34 for cruising and dont go crazy with it.

Not sure who told you that the drivetrain of the r34 is weaker, but that's just wrong. The ONLY thing would be syncro in the getrag's third gear, sometime fifth (If you really shift it fast, in 500hp+ cars). But try to find a R34 that broke a gear under 800HP, at that power you would shred third gear in the stock R32 trans. The diff in the R34 aren't the 4.11 of the R32 but I wouldn't really call them weaker.

Personally, when I look at the R34 and I compare it to my R32, It make's me think about when I had my S13 and got an S14. the drivetrain is similar, but it just doesn't fell like the same car at all. The visibility is not at all the same, it doesn't even feel like they are similar size. Like you can tell I miss my S13 and I will have an other probably in the next couple of years, it just has something to it that make's me comfortable driving it, the visibility is great, the inside doesn't try to get in your face, and I feel the same about the R32, and something tells me I'll also feel the same about the R34.

If you love the R34 or any other car, your choice will defy logic. Look at Jaguar owners...
