Hi everyone, for the last week I have been looking for a new car and I’ve been looking at the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 7 and the V35 Skyline and cannot decide what to go for? I still haven’t put my golf up for sale but going to advertise is this week so I can upgrade it.

The lancer has been a dream for quite some time now but my only concern is the fuel consumption. From what I have read and heard its premium unleaded and it does 450km on a tank (city driving). I actually thought for a 2.0 litre it would be better on fuel when cruising.

My mate recently brought a 350z for 37k and I took it for a drive, I loved the handling and the power of the car. I went to Kamikaze Motors and took the V35 skyline coupe for a drive and loved it too, but I wanted to ask you guys a few questions which I forgot to ask the dealer.

1. Can the Bose system radio am/fm work in Australian frequencies & can I get the dvd player, NAV to work as well? If so is there anyone in Melbourne who does such a convert?

2. What do you guys get in km on a tank?

3. Which insurance company covers this car?

4. Would you buy an Evo7 or a V35 and why?

Cheers guys

Erhan

      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.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
