Here I want only Gt-R R34, and on this link you sent, they're talking only about their parts

EvoCrazy

Seems like newbies always give credit to the R34 only. You cant froget the R32, or my fav, the R33.

True i'm a newbie with cars, I love all Skylines, R33 and R34 are my favorites, and I don't like them because I saw them in movies like The Fast And The Furious, they are ugly skylines anyway...
I'm too young to know the R32.


but now I just wish someone answer my damn question, and stop saying i'm a newbie and grow a little.

R32 > R33 & R34

Most fun car I've ever owned.
I own a 33 - but also regularly drive a friend's 34. Nothing beats the MFD for pointless car gadget fun

What so you want to know?
Yes they are fast - in all ways. Yes they handle well. Fantastic on a sweeping curving road, not great on super-twisty hill climbs.

I sent you a private message Jamezilla...you never replied

jamezilla

Apologies - I didn't receive an email alert.
I don't have MSN - sorry.

My friend and I are both under 30.
Cars faster than a GTR in hills/twisties: EVO Lancer, WRX STi - anything small and nimble with reasonable power-to-weight.

The GTR is a big, heavy car - it handles very well, but is much better suited to 'sweeping' bends to maintain high speed. The HICAS 4WS and active differential are difficult to get used to on tight corners. The turbos are not effectual under 3700 RPM - so much more lag than NA and some other turbo cars.

I think the R34 is more beautiful, I don't like this car because of 2f2f, that will be noobish, I know this car since I play car games like grand turismo, why I love the car ? no idea, but she's beautiful and i'm ready to do anything to get it.

R32, no idea what's cool with it, maybe specs, but I check the exterior of the car, speed is illegal where I come from anyway.
I wont say i'll get a skyline for drag, because you'll say i'm a newbie again right ???

an you know what ? YELLOW not Bayside blue

InfestedShadow

ohh there's no prob there, it's just good to talk with someone who already driven the car I wish to get someday sry about my english by the way

InfestedShadow

i'm looking for someone who can teach and show me things about cars: Rpm, NA, HICAS, I have no idea what it mean...

but I think the NA is a kinda drivetrain or something

jamezilla

RPM: revolutions per minute - the speed the engine is running. Higher RPM, more power (to a point)

HICAS: the 4-wheel-steering system on the Skyline. The rear wheels turn to assist stability and cornering prowess of the car at high speed.

NA: Naturally aspirated - ie: not turbo charged or super charged.

Drag: GTRs are very good for drag racing due to their ability to run very high power and the 4WD drivetrain. They are also very well suited to track-racing as they handle and corner very well.

Unless you live in Germany (and only then on the autobahn) - speeding is universally illegal. That's why you go to the racetrack or drag strip. Fun, safe and legal.

InfestedShadow

cool thx for the infos, but some people can say i'm a newbie if I think "something" is cool you know.

yeah I do want a skyline for drag, and to impress people on the road, and also to have a goal in life...

Jamezilla, you don't have any "chat" program ? Aim ? yahoo ?

EvoCrazy

Thats cool if you are a R34 fan. I like the car also, but I just notice too many ricers who talk about them like they are God's gift to man. Which is why I'm so hard on the newbis. Skylines can make BIG HP, but I think a Supra TT would make a better drag car. RWD, and can make just as much (if not, more) power as the GTRs.
