EVO vs Skyline

[Soulja]

and wat is the point of having a rally car on the road?

[Daz]

How about a series 7 lancer VS a R34 GT-T.

Edit*** Maybe we'll get an EVO or 3 down at heathcote?

Not many late model evo's in the country though...even though MR. Bishi sell them...

[IOWNU]

An Evo will probably smoKe a GTST, but it in no way can be compared to the GTR. WHen talking Jap, the GTR is the benchmark. The GTR-34 has won the Japanese Supercar race tournament (I dunno whats its called) 5 years in a row. BeaT thaT Mr EVO.

Yeah I think its called JGTC - Japanese Grand Touring Championship... wtg Nissan

If your mates EVO 2 beats u then he will smoke me too probably, yeah get him to come though the more the merrier - its all for fun of course

[initialD]

evo 4 onwrds shudnt be spoken ill off, they R beasts, dont even try to compare it to the shitty lancers we have here in aust. even the 100 odd evo 6's brought in by ralli art are crap, they just waterd it down by detuning its ecu and took away it from lsd, stoopi ralli art.

evo's will smoke a gtst, even tho evo are only 2 litr they still have good top end, i have a friend whos gota tommi mak (i know these are better than normal 6's ) and he pulls flat 12's

Soulja i'd be on the look out for a black evo 6 with a sticker monstor on the bonnet in W.A!

btw top 4 cars in Best motoring are always evo, gtr, rx7, nsx

still in my book GTR is king of the road

[Soulja]

I guess you compair you car to everyother car on the road. e.g if you drove a f-50 you would think a evo or gtr where shit house.

same idea applys here i guess, people dont like evo cuz they havnt driven them and felt wat they can and cant do.

I guess wat im tring to say is get your friend in a nicly modded GTS-T or GTR and that maybe might change his mind if you are lucky

good luck hehehe

the sheer stupidity than a RB26DETT can get to if enough money is thrown at it counters any advantage the EVO might have.

1st comment: yes i agree that a GTR came in 2nd. but how many GTRs were entered as compared to Evos?? plus i did say gymkhanam, not like a track situation, although i'd place my bets on an Evo on a track with plenty of tight corners and relatively short straights.

i have seen 1st hand what a tuned Evo and a tuned GTR 34, by Jun i would add, can do. in a short sprint, the GTR simply could not provide enough traction to beat the Evo. note the sprint was only 300m. the GTR came within tenths of a second of privateer Evo 5s and 6s. this is fairly common to see from where i come from.

2nd comment: yes the sheer amount of mad hp that the rb26 is capable of is very impressive. but, if u ask anyone from where i come from (asia), the world is not a straight. if it was, everyone would be on rails going as fast as possible. that is why i can say the Evo is every bit as balanced a car as the GTR. they have been built for different purposes. i have every respect for the 4G63 as i have for the rb26.

and as i have said, top end hp, the GTR would blow the Evo away. but that is a very bad comparison. try comparing getaway from traffic lights, corner entry, corner exit. you will find the Evo can more than hold its own against the GTR.

[Munro]

They are both great cars & both for slightly different purposes.

I agree the 4G63 is an excellent engine & the EVO is a very well balanced car.Ultimately you have both of them instead of one or the other. I do think that the EVOs are more fragile than GTRs, & with my particular driving style, I think the EVO would break before the GTR. It has been a hard decision, but that is why I am selling the EVO & keeping the GTR.

BTW - in stock form they quote 13.8 for the EVO, & 13.1 for the R34. I raced a totally stock R34 GTR the other day & it did do 13.1,

the EVO ran 13.4 but has exhaust/computer. My Blue R34 has exhaust/computer & runs 12.1. So in std form the EVO7 IS slower for the 400m.

From the 4 door, turbo 4cyl, 4WD cars available - the EVO is king.

From the 2 door, turbo 6cyl, 4WD cars available - the GTR is king.

From the 2 door, V12, RWD cars available - the 550 Maranello rules the world - imagine a turbo one!!!!!

There is ALWAYS someone badder or faster out there - thats why these comparison discussions are limited to peoples personal preferences, & don't actually end up with a solid verdict.

[rb26dett]

Munro...agree totally with you. but i'm sure the Evo could be strengthend?? i mean the chasis n body made stronger??

i believe the vast improvement you experienced with the 34 is due largely to more displacement and cylinders. dun forget the extra turbo. have been following your progress with enthusiasm.

doing a great job....kudos to you...continue to fly the Nissan flag high.

one question has to be asked tho, was the Evo Aussie delivered? if so, u're comparing an Aussie spec car to a JDM car, and as common knowledge, Aussie spec is detuned.

[CroatianR33]

Well my mate wants to get an EVO 4 for some reason but hes still a crap driver.... bah!!! ill just tell him Munro is selling his evo rather than a GTR!!!

[Maxx]

Had met a Evo 4 with exhaust at traffic light, it beat me 1.5 car lengh at shoot out, and i keep up with him in the second and finish at 0.5 car at 3 gear. If the road allow us to continue, i think i will beat him at 4 gear... For 1/2 of the car price, 2wd vs 4wd, i think i am doing pretty well.

[SlowGTS-t]

Just to add a bit more.

EVO 1 's (the cheap old ones) have a lot of potential as all evo's have basically the same engine, and the 1's have the lowest compression. Filter, exhaust, 16psi (they seem to handle this ok on good gas) and they'll get into mid 12's...

Ecu, Turbo and injector upgrade and they'll jsut about break into 11's...

[crozo]

Evos 7's are proably a better option of R34 GTR cos of the huge price differnece betwwen the cars. If i had a 100k to spend, i'd spend 80 on a evo and 20 on mods and it'll proably whip a 100k stock GTR

[rb26dett]

true. but if u had 100k, spend 50k on a GTR33, the other 50 on mods, you'd be whipping everything else.

[predator]

lol!

or buy a R32 GTR for $30k and spend $70k on mods ..ok, this is getting silly now.. hehe

[bryanlee38]

spend 70k on anything, even a fcuking Hyundai Excel ... and see how fast they'll go ... kekek. DONT QUOTE ME ON THAT ONE!

[rb26dett]

hahahaha rigolli has a hell fast hyundai running on Evo parts

[YBSLO4]

In stock trim against each other, any Evo from Evo 3+ will beat a R33 quiet well on the 1/4. Top end speed will be one by skyline due to 6 cylinders, more torque and more power etc, but when comparing these cars you have to take into account what you are comparing here. An evo is a 2ltr AWD, and a skyline is a 2.5 RWD... so basically they are chalk and cheese to start with, built for two totally different purposes. Evo's are a super quick pocket rocket, but the price tag is much higher than a skyline and is more race bread than a GTSt, to compar porperly skyline verse lancer you'd have to compare it to a GTR to make it more similar, however then the skyline would win due to simple reasons of extra displacement and extra cylinders and extra turbo. Hard to comapre a GTSt to an Evo but i know personally i'd rather an Evo than my R33 simply because i am a big fan of them. My car has some good mods and is quick but i can't beat my mates lightly modded Evo III.
