hey guys/gals, i know its up to the buyers point of view on how they feel/think about the car but honestly its the hardest decision i have to make to date.

just wondering what you guys would spend on if you had $40-$50k? the only problem i must state is that the car has to be auto/tipronic etc due to family reasons so basically woul di be better of with a gta (evo 7.5) or the new nissan skyline v35.

the gta has the evo look, goes hard around corners and has tuning potential...v35 on the other hand rear wheel drive has a decent motor but main thing that attracted me is the interior its soo god damn nice compared to the evo. help me out guys.

Well if its going to be used mainly as a family car, I would go V35, seems to have bigger room inside compared to the Evos.

the evo has a really good engine and chasis. i love the awd feel, however i dont know if im up for it like as in another turbo. atm im really thinking hard because both cars are very very different. the v35 is a lux/sport looking dump rims pure *pimped gangsta* look lol. the evo im looking at has a damd kit used in 2fast 2 furious and roughly 7k mods done to it. i have driven both cars and yes the evo has more power but im really surprised at the v35 engine as its not that bad. apparently it has more touque and power then early model 350z and a convenient 4 seater car.

i dont know really at this point but ill have to make my decision really soon before end off week.

40 - 50k

i'd wait n save up evo 10's are about 55k or sumthin i think in the paper?

or was it 60k

maybe even a second hand evo 9 would be nice:)

not a big fan of the evo7 but if it was between the 7 or the v35 i'd go the V35 :)

OKAY HANG ON MAN!!!

lol

EVO VII has two main different versions...

EVO VII and EVO VII GT-A

V35 has to main different versions...

V35 Coupe and V35 Sedan...

if you're comparing V35 Sedan to an EVO VII GT-A i would choose the V35 simply because the car would be more fuel efficient, you'll have less of a tuning bug and all you have to do is throw on some awesome rims and dump it and it's automatically pimp, the interior in those things are hot...

i don't know if you know Chino (the guy that went to Mercy) but he has a Sedan one, blue with gold rims, polished lip... done man, car looks brilliant...

downside on the GT-A is that i'm pretty sure, they have a smaller spoiler than the normal EVO VII, they don't have factory Recaro's and even the bonnet is different... all the cosmetic things about the EVO VII that are hot (in my personal opinion) the GT-A doesn't possess... so looks-wise, GT-A loses hands down...

if you're thinking about a V35 Coupe, that thing is way nicer than the GT-A and the Sedan version of the V35 anyday as the headlights are sharper and the tail-lights aren't separated and don't have so many different colours scattered all over the place...

basically what i'm trying to say is (in my understanding)

there's 4 different cars you can have;

EVO VII

V35 Coupe

EVO VII GT-A

V35 Sedan

EVO VII > ALL (but i know you want an Auto)

so it's;

V35 Coupe

EVO VII GT-A

V35 Sedan

and you're preferences in my opinion go like this;

V35 Coupe

V35 Sedan

EVO VII GT-A

hope that helps Richard

cheers,

Andrew :)

i personally have driven a gta and its not much different from manual however its a different point of viewfor those that actually havnt hence im stuck witht the fact that the gta performs much better then the v35 besides in the fuel department.

i am actually thinking about the evo x. will have to look at one tomorrow. thanks for the input guys.

forgot to mention that the v35 coupe aint just the ordinary ones...its a 350hp supercharged one...much more unique than the evo7 i reckon

Its SUPERCHARGED? :D

I personally feel the 370GT looks hawt hawt hawtttttt ;)

hmm, i will choose gta persoanlly... looks pretty good to me and read somewhere that the gta has the same accleration time as the manual. 4wd will be safer too for family use.. :D v35 is nice and cool but the space is not enough i think. then again, your call buddy! ;) try to source for a cheaper gta and revamp the interior maybe?? hahah...

un fortunately i missed out on the supercharged one steven (c reds featured car in hpi fast fours etc) some guy placed a deposit just before me. it has high kms though so im looking at one almost brand new.

yes the gta has good acceleration like i said it almost the same as manual but not a manual, stock its only 6kw less than the standard rated 206kw but then again this is the gentlemens agreement when importing.

honestly i love the v35 more becuase of its exterior/interior but the gta at fabcar is absolutely 2fast 2 furious style! will let you guys know what i have decided by tomorrow night...seems likje that evo x has come into play...

ok an update...although i made the mistake of the evo 7....just not my liking ive finally got my baby. shes a lot of fun i must admit and pure luxury sports the sound of the vq35de is fabulous.

a lil glimpse as i had no time for perfect shot will update in the photo section.

now just waiting for my sau sticker to arrive =)

congrats :P

did you import or buy local?

I'm looking at getting a v35 in the near future but want to wait till the exchange improves

bought local michael. im not going to go into details of price if you want to talk about it just pm hth. i wouldnt import atm with the e.x. rate but i think you know already. its a quick clean ride...more luxury sports then racing sport but 6sec for it to hit 3 digit i reckon its impressive for na. its the same as 350z but you get more touque 4seater capacity and its much rare in perth.

ive got the premium model with leather bose etc which i think is neat and looks better then standard. also a hint is that silver dominates almost 70% of v35s so try and get a different colour other then that although i have nothing against that. overall i reckon its pure sex..porn if you tell me.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
