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 can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
