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

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
