Was looking at some car web sites on the weekend and saw the new Evo X. Though this is a Skyline forum I thought with all Evo fan boys here that someone might have posted a thread. In case you haven't seen it yet I've posted some pics below. I don't know if it's just me but I'm seeing a lot of R34 GTR design elements here. Same type of nose and bonnet and pumped out square rear guards. What do you guys think? I'm thinking I could drive one of these if it looks hot in the flesh, I don't think pictures do it justice much like the R34's.

Everytime I see these topics come up I look at the pics and say yuk!

But they always seem to grow on me especially the VE HSV range.

I don't like the look of it at all really, the headlights and rims are only things i would say I like.

But I'm sure when i see one on the roads I'll be following it to check it out cause it's so hot.

eh i like it but then i dont. looks a little tougher than previous models, and draws away from the lancer(which is good. other models just looked like a lancer, which is why i couldnt bring myself to buy one), lights are cool.

just a little boxy, and there something about the front bar that isnt quiet right IMO.

the rear looks a little alfa romeo ish...

and is it bigger than previous models? like a legnum or whatever they are...

i don't think people buy evo's to have a burgundy car either, imo it will look much better in a traditionally more aggressive colour, black/white/red/etc etc

I don't like the look of it either

R35 style front, RX8 style rear!!! in 4-door

yuck

they should just make a 2-door EVO and style it differently, bet it'll still sound like a sewing machine or tractor like most mitsi's

I dunno Ni. The most recent "spy shots" from the Ring I reckon the STi actually looks better. The EVO is starting to look very plastic, high and a bit dull now that it is moving from the prototype stylings and into the production stylings. Where as I reckon the Rex is looking quite WRC (even it if is a Xsara copy)

I like......But 80K...

Maybe with the dollar getting to 88 cents US.....we might get it for the price of the IX...65K..if i recall.

KEEP YOUR SKYLINES........LOL.......TURBO FUN AT A 1/5 of the price....

GTR32's will increase in value when this comes out. :D

Anyway..love to see it in real life..looked much narrower in the pics of old..

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
