akeenan,

I agree they are better but the Evo 8 will not be out till next year or so and the interior really sucks big time.

Also the fact that it will be at least high $60K if not low $70K by the time you get them on the road (My opinion!). That's almost $10K more than STI.

see told u if posted this up in Skylines Australia, u'd have a HEAP more input :D

Yeah, i was reading about the NEW STi, and apparently Subaru have "eliminated turbo lag"... now don't ask me how, but apparently it was perfected on their WRC cars and the technology has made it's way to the road cars. STi's are known to be laggy.... but with the new STi's being like 2.5 or 2.6 litres with pratically no turbo lag...i'd hate to think how fast that's gonna be.

anyways.... i voted at the SDU.

suby more practical but also faster

nissan more of a cruiser, better looks.

basically whateva u need the car to do, choose on that.

cheers.

SS8_Gohan,

Thanks mate. Much better in here than SDU.

I never thought that being such a different car between the 350Z and the MY03 STI people still have hard time picking one or the other.

My heart lean towards the STI more at this present stage only the fact that it is more practical and I can almost park where I want without catching too much attention.

As for the 350Z, I still like them but........................I have to follow my heart.

Vote, more votes please!

Okay, I'll contribute more than this...

350Z !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the WRX, it used to be the car I wanted but bang for buck and 2nd hand Skyline was cheaper than a 2nd hand WRX (I wanted MY98+).

And I didn't realise till I started looking at the 'line that a 2 door was what I really wanted (before I was 100% set on a sedan).

Anyway, good point - if you need practicality, I'd go the STi. I think the new STis are awesome, they look hot and they fly.

But a 350Z would be what I'd pick if I had the dosh cos it suits me right now (the whole 2 door thing).

I haven't had the luck to drive either a WRX or 350Z though :P But I really doubt either car would be disappointing [enough to change what I think].

sorry love the nissans but can't go past a good turbo car :P

Some members of my club (NDSOC) went for a drive along the (wet) Great Ocean Rd recently. A passenger in a 350Z track version says he has NEVER gone so quickly along that road, and that a R32 GT-R had trouble keeping up with the 350Z (could have something to do with the drivers as well).

On a previous drive to Brisbane, a different passenger reports that to overtake, just put your foot down (in 6th gear) and go :burnout:

By all reports, the 350 is an awesome car.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
