Now I will always be a nissan fanatic, ever since I saw a GTR, since I drove my old silvia. but last night a guy took me for a spin in his Evo IV. GOD DAMN! I was almost ready to go out and sell my GTST and take out the load for the extra 30K

the thing just pulls with acceleration and corners hard. At wakefield we went side by side and when we both flattened it. he pulled away from me. Maybe its only my car, but I feel that it lacks alot of grunt, it doesn't pull as hard.

I have always wanted a GTR, but if the opportunity came up, I would buy an Evo.

Although I have never been for a ride in a GTR. so if someone wants to help out there, that would be great

cheers mark :(

the gtr has the potential to extract many more horses than an evo, however there is more to a performance car than just going in straight lines. that said, the evo is no slouch either.

fyi, the JUN built EVO5 is the record holder at Tsukaba circuit in Japan.

...and you think an Evo 4 is good! how about an Evo 6.5 or Evo 7 or Evo 8!!! your about 4 generations behind! :)

Mitsubishi only delivered a limited number of Evo 6.5's, no 7's and they are thinking about the 8. Its a shame because Subaru has no real competitor in that market. That said, the interior and appointments of a Subaru are much nicer than the Evo's IMHO (but the Evo's did get better) however, the Evo is so far ahead of Subaru in terms of advancement in technology & their gearboxes are practically indestructible (however Subaru seem to be getting it right from MY01 and onwards).

an evo 5 i stumbled upon in HK

I thought the HKS KANSAI Evo VII was the fastest on that circuit at the moment?

yeah I know GTR's have great potential. but i am just saying because we all love nissans we can't dismiss the other great cars out there, I fall into that trap far too often

thanx for the cool pics franks.

I never said that the Evo had a bad build quality, just harsh. If you don't mind the hard seats and lack of sound insulation and no climate control then maybe you want an Evo :rolleyes: Good luck to you either way, but $30k is a lot of moolah just for something that goes better on the track than a mildly modded Skyline. Imagine for a few minutes what $30k of mods on your car would do.

It really depends on what you want from a car ultimately. If you want a track weapon and have $30k to burn, you probably do want an Evo or GTR.

settle down, yeah i know you didn't say that. I quite liked the ride last night. but just from the few other cars I have been in it feels like my car lacks something. I could imagine what 30K could do easily for my car. different engine to start with, but the only problem is in the end, it will still be an R32 GTST.

I don't know, its just something different, I don't see too many R32's around, but I saw one yesterday and it had a GTS25T sticker on the boot lid. so I will assume it has an RB25 in it, didn't know the last of the R32s came with them.

I wouldn't mind a track weapon, I have done some suspension stuff and it feels tighter now, but we were hammering along to palm beach last night and I couldn't keep up around the corners, he left me for dead and no matter how hard I pushed I couldn't catch up and the gap only got wider till the straight.

I would still prefer a GTR, but I don't see myself getting either in the near future. still too much out of my grasp, supposed to save for a house but like modding my car too much.

i know how you feel ! i sat in my friend's evo 6 and fell in love with it completely.

We dragged a couple of times, started as a rolling start (hence no 4wd advantage), he still beat me by about 2-3 car lengths. They're really quick. The response from the turbo is amazing. :uh-huh:

Was driving a R33 GTST, and was done on a private road ! :rolleyes:

Im pretty sure no R32's came with RB25's stock, either this guy had a conversion, or was a lamer (or maybe im wrong?)

no. the JUN Hyperlemon EVO V is the current record holder of Tsukaba. Mines BNR34 is not far off it.

Even with a rolling start 4WD traction is going to be an advantage, dont you spin up through 1st and 2nd? :rolleyes:

you are also forgetting that shorter gearing also plays a part with rolling starts. you'd probably catch it up top...

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
