pffft evos suck... only one worth buying is the current latest one, even then i wouldnt buy it, its just an expensive version of a lancer, which are shit

FACT: Stock for Stock at the motegi test track the EVO VII was significantly faster than the R34 GTR....let alone a GTT

So lancer or not they are better than anything we have got in our stable

already taken care of andy, anna replied to my pm i sent her a gazillion hrs ago (well this morning) and its all sorted ;)

yeah i loved that 33 and i miss it, but the gtr is going to be much more fun :dry: ill eventually get another 33

anna, nothing will ever take away the fact that its in the same family as the LANCER :wave:

i thought stock vs stock, that the r34 gtr was always the better car? even though it weighs more, or a i horribly mistaken

Very horribly mistaken

I will show you the sad truth on the DVD some time

ok cool

You car is from the same family as the base model R32 with the CA18e...when you hit the throttle do you care?? :dry:

bunta, i was not comparing the r34 gtr against the evo, i was saying, r32, r33, r34 gtrs... hell the r34 gtr is getting old, and almost all new sports car kill it ;)

nice cheap family sedan ;)

very nice indeed, the TME ones were really good, but very exxy when brand new

I like the fact that they have some mongerel....all the later one have all the nasty habits spanked out of them

As far as I recall you stated EVOs suck

I showed you an instance where they didnt suck, and it was a fair comparison as at the time both the EVO VII and the R34 GTR were new

;) Purchase now kthnx

Dare I say it...I've been eyeing off an Evo 9 for my runaround :wave:

Took a Mazda 3 MPS out for a bash last weekend...damn those things fly and they are FUN!!!

I'll tell you this...it would be very interesting to see it race down the quarter.

Max Torque hits at 2500rpm (380Nm) and goes all the way to 5000rpm and there's no turbo lag (no jokes people). Clutch is very bitey...feels like a button in some ways :dry:

if you look back up, i posted twice, the first one addressing the evo, and the second, was a respone to your 33 = boat and 34= ultra boat,

two seperate posts, with two seperate topics.

but ok, evo quicker i didnt know, but i personally wouldnt own one.

ahhh now I get your post

A R34 GTR is indeed better than a R33

Same for the GTS/GTT comparison

However the weight of the GTT starts to go against it when the mods start

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
