Mac Posted February 25, 2003 Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 [ QUOTE ] Mac used to have one i think [/ QUOTE ] ...is the right answer Fecking awesome car, by the far the fastest and most capable thing I've ever driven. Downsides? Well its about as discrete as a punch in the face - which I didn't like - even grannies stared at you. Also, with the Nismo sports exhaust it was a bit noisy. Used a lot of petrol too. Upsides: Damm fast low 4s to 60..Big and comfortable cruiser. Relatively cheap servicing, wheels never bent, and in general, very rarely went wrong. Computer was the bollocks although mine was in Japanese LOL ....I steer to hard this way, this funny symbol comes on - Aha!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_C_Nwales Posted February 26, 2003 Report Share Posted February 26, 2003 Nearly got one (R32 tuned) for 12k instead I got the S4 and started to tune it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted February 26, 2003 Report Share Posted February 26, 2003 The R32 looked a bit lame IMHO...The R33 a lot better, and the R34 - dammed aggressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brabus Posted February 26, 2003 Report Share Posted February 26, 2003 Subtle styling...not! Damn, they all look good. The one in the second pic would probably be my choice though. Wish they made them in left-hand drive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snez22 Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 can't they be tuned to up to 800bhp? the one i had in grand tourismo had 700 odd bhp and was ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_C_Nwales Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 The highest powered one I know of is running 1236 bhp, and have seen a few vid streams of it. I think you could find some of it on http://www.gtrcentral.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobK Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 There seems to be a very big variation in prices for these. I had a look on Auto Trader's web site, and there are some 1998 V-spec cars going for about 20k, and other 1999 cars for about £40k. Why such a difference? Is it just the spec / condition etc?

shao_khan Posted February 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 What year did the R33 become R34? I guess that would have some impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 have always liked the R34 in the same way as M coupe - so ugly its not sort of thing must be quite hard to find a std one these days - do most people just swap exhausts for the Nismo channel tunnel variety or do most people chip as well what does servicing cost Mac? might be tempted in future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 I had two services, one minor one major. I think the minor was about 150 and the major about 400 but if IIRC for the major I had some thing physically fixed that I'd twatted in a car park (underneath) so I think thats a bit inflated.
