your a one lucky guy to have thas kind of options open !!!!!.....silly Q to ask in a skyline forum though....but i think above all the, GTR has that X factor about it......although i think in twisty stuff the evo will probably thump it...

I say have both then you have the best of both worlds, Plus investments are your friend if it was the ultimate descision it all comes to money but id go the r34 n e day over evo :P

Hey guys i own a 06 evo 9 at the moment, but i came across a really nice 02 R34 GTR V-soec for sale, and its at a awesome price and hasnt been comlianced yet. im confused if i should sell the evo and buy the gtr or what :P just wanna know what u guys and girls think. Would u own a evo or gtr, id really appriceted the help

Cheers

I would go the gtr too but as eug said. Watch the money trap. I guess the problem stems from so many go fast and look good options in the market place for skylines Its hard to know where to stop. If you can discipline yourself to a certain level and just appreciate it for what it is I think you would enjoy it immensely.

Yeah thats very true, IF i did go the 34, id so simple things just like my 33 GTR

So given really there isnt THAT much difference between the 33 and 34 (other than newer and obviously looks). Why did you sell the R33 and get the evo?

For what your going to use the car for, maybe look at something compleatly different? Just a suggestion.

The EVO is an awesome car, they do very well on the track with little money spent on them. The fuel economy will be better in an EVO and its nice having a newer car because generally speaking they have less problems.

Having said all that, an EVO doesn't make me moist so I say GTR all the way!

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
