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.

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

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 :rofl:

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

    • 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"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
