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're not wrong but 5W30 at 100C is like 10 cSt vs 25 cSt for 10W60. If we think in terms of viscosity margin 10W60 will probably still be ok at 130C but 5W30 is probably too little. It's absolutely shocking how hot the oil gets in something like a stock FL5 from only ~3 minutes of use on the Nordschleife. I would not risk taking a car like that to anything remotely intense without a ton of work done for cooling. Heat shielding on the manifold/turbo/downpipe, oil coolers, etc. 
    • I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet. 
    • Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.
    • Oops... I meant to include the connector  view... BR/W - power from fuse L/W - motor negative to fan control amp (and off to HVAC pin19) OR/B - PWM signal (from HVAC pin20) B --  ground  
    • Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me.
