will be in the market soon for one of these cars. The only problem is i cant find many evos out there for sale. I've tried carpoint, drive,etc .... can u guys recomment other websites?

Anyways, I've looked into both cars, just wanted u guys opinions on both...

kind leaning towards the evo cos its so rare in Australia, plus constant awd, 4 door ,etc ...I can make those wrx's drivers jealous :P ( we all know wrx drivers want evos deep down) ;)

wat u guys think ?

If i had a family and i still wanted a fast-4 pocket-rocket definately the Evo-6(the only last true Evo IMHO) gets my vote.....4doors too;)

but right now i'm leaning towards the R33 GT-R....not sure about making WRX drivers jealous or not...but i'm sure it'll be able to keep up with the best of them:D

Personaly I would go for the EVO 6, I love the Skylines especially the GTR's but I have a family and trying to get a good family sports car (4 Door) is a bit harder to chose.

EVO 6 or R34 GT-T Sedan is what I would be looking at.

The reason you don't see many evo's around is they don't represent very good value.

The Evo has wind up, wind down windows for example.

It's also a pretty uncomfortable ride.. the only thing you pay for, the only thing you get.. is the 0-100 and 0-400 times and the driving experience. The GTR gives you that as well as stuff like .. *gasp* air conditioning, power windows and those kind of features.

Also I don't really feel justified paying 60k+ for a 4 cylinder turbo car.

I'd take the R33 GTR.. get a later model vspec.

As Rezz said, various evos comes in various configurations (RS (?), GSR, tommi makinen, GTA, etc) - If you find one, it'll probably be the 'base' model which has all the normal goodies.

The interior is a bit bland - but then again, the 33 interior isn't exactly inspiring either.

There is an evo vi for sale on performance forums right now (check it out when the site is back up)

i absolutely love everything about the evos... looks (pre-evo7 models that is.... i don't know what they are thinking these days...) , performance, etcetc...

one thing that stopped me buying an evo over gtr was, at the end of the day they are just very fast lancers...

the evo like the gtr sit very well on the road, ride wise they are stiffer than ny other car but thats wat u get when u want a "sports" car, i'd get the TME evo 6, GSR, titanuim twin scroll turbo mmmmmmmmm

i dig the interiors, they equiped with recaros and are very functional!

but yeah jus my 2c.....

Given that the 350Z is a 2 seater only, I don't think thats very good advice mate.

Probably should learn a bit more about a car before you recommend it :D

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
