Evo...it is newer end of story...I am fecking sick of fixing boring things on my car

Stock for stock the Evo should cut a faster lap time as well and it should keep that up till the mods get serious

rally car versus mountain climber

what do we have more of around brisbane?

problem solved.

who said the gtr was a mountain climber? the evo would absolutely smash a gtr on the mountains

I thought that was an odd statement too!

Indeed I am! :closedeyes:

If I had my time over I would have bought an EVO over the GTR. . . . . GTRs cost way too much to make them reliable at the track, EVOs are a much better package out of the box. But if you have a money tree by all means go the GTR.

i gotta say gtr, there's just sentimental value with a gtr, they sound amazing and i'm sure they are an awesome car when they run :thumbsup:

but i agree with the reliability thing. speaking with mark (giant) today at 1r, he said he wouldnt run his car for more than 10 laps at a time caus it'd jsut blow, and thats one sorted gtr! too much money but the enjoyment is (would lol) be well worth it

i rather like his Evo better been through a few cars together .34 is more of a older car .. doesnt have the zippy conering and every day driveablity or the cop attention .. GTR well weather GTR or GT-T they all get same amount of attention.. good and bad.. personally id buy a GTR if i had alot of money to throw around.. EVO simple mods and its a early 12 sec car wip gtrs day in day out .. more practical , lesser attention seeking .. cheaper to run and maintain , and the work you do you know yourself how good the mivec series 4g63's are !.. you already had a low 12 sec gtr didnt do anything apart from piss fart and break ! .. they arent the best cars to throw money on (bang for buck) stock ones last longer ! keep the evo .. do the APC evo stage 2,3 run low 12s and keep happy !.. buy the GTR since you live with me i will drive it when you dont :)

for looks i'd say gtr, and personalyl i'd say gtr for myself (cause i'm a hoon), but i know i would break it pretty fast. but at the end of the day i would probably say evo. espeially if you owned it from new. with a gtr you can't be sure of how it has been treated, how it was run in, etc.

for running costs the evo would hose the gtr. only 4 cylinder rego, cheaper insurance cause it was a manufacturer imported car, cheaper on fuel.

i'm gonna go against the popular choice and say keep the evo. If you didnt own either i would buy the r34 gtr but since you already own the evo i say keep it. But thats just me, i get emotionally attached to my car

there are millions of times when i wanted to sell mine......

but i can not sell it..the enjoyment i get out of driving it is just unbelievable...never had the same feeling on any other cars i have owned...

having said that though, i have not owned an evo, so i dont know how well it drives...

id say keep the one you feel better driving....

better yet, have them both

I like the look of the GTR better than the Evo, even if the evo is a better car it is ugly, and I cant drive an ugly car.

Oh and water restrictions? Sucks to be you! I leave my sprinkler on top of my roof on all day while I am not there to cool it down for when I get home and turn on the aircon, sometimes leave my sprinkler on for days, pffft no water restrictions up here :huh:

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
