lol Luke.....just need a big sock over the T51 and should get thru Regency as is :laugh: .................................NOT

Evos are unbelievably fast when you see them in action. A mate has an Evo6, have cruised with him and done hills drives with him, unbelievable.

And the sound that thing makes at high RPM is phenomenal, never heard anything like it, it was.... like a bark more than anything.

Phenomenal cars, love em. If you see them driving flat out you will appreciate...

Problem is they are worth much more than 33's so a trade up is not on the cards, not as long as we keep throuwing money into that sexy R33-shaped pit.

.................... go the money pits.

Beauty about Evos is the standard ECU, AFM, injectors, etc... can handle so much. This guy pulled up next to me at the lights and turned his boost up to 19 PSI and took off.

Right now I'm running 13 PSI and can't run any more without spending big dollars, injectors, turbs, ECU, bla bla bla all the usualy crap but that's a lot of dosh.

he can get in a standard evo 6 (apart from exhaust) and turn it right up. I'd be interested to see what it puts out on a dyno....

got a few mates with evo's and quite frankly i wasn't impressed! maybe all of the hype about them didn't meet my expectations, it was fast shit you not but to me a rwd is still more exciting! but i guess i don't like them but respect them for being fast!

^doubt it... i'm putting down almost 200 and he was miles ahead, 4 car lengths....

was this of a stand still launch, if so they of course he will be in front and given a long enough rd you would reel him in

steve's onto a point

evo's, rexes and the like are quick off the line, but are limited to top end gearing (considering their heritage is for fanging sideways on gravel at 140+kmh)

mid sized cars (skyline, supra etc) are relatively quick off the line, but still have a better top end than the smaller 4wd turbo cars

then ya big 8s are good for top speed, but not really for take off with extremely low gearing

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
