there is a really NICE looking evo 8mr for sale on SAU. White. If I had a 3 car garage I'd have got it.

No lard there. Quicker than an R34 I think.

That is a good looking car that MR! Was wanting something with wty though so i can abuse a car instead of worrying!!! lol

Im big on the audi rs4! i drove one about a year ago and highly recommend poping down to the dealer; jst be careful you dont leave a (white) deposit on it....lolz

goodluck with the hunt mate

ps: sorry but i just cant consider an evo as a replacement for your gtr; would be like going from eating beluga caviar to a tub of lard

Im hearing you about the rs4! A friend has one, and i have driven it a few times now, amazing engine/exhaust sound! absolutely intoxicating! Quality of build is second to none, and the seats! oh the seats!!!!

And my girl can drive it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 4 months later...

Its been a while but im back in a GTR..

Well sort of!!

I have an Evo IX which is a brillant reliable track/daily drive,

but i did miss the sound of the RB26. Fortunately for me my best friend has just bought arguably one of the best R32 v-spec GTR's in Oz! whats more, he wants me to drive it on the track!

to say its quick is an gross understatment! cant wait to let it scare me at QR!

Good to be indirectly back!

Hey mate,

long time no speak.... I have had the Evo about 5 months now, found one done 19,000klms in WA of all places. Its a blue Performance pack. Have just done a few minor mods. Ezy flash. have a spare set of BBS with Re55's for track and run big neg camber -4 degree front and -2 rear.

Having had both i have to say this, the GTR's are more fun to drive, but on the track the Evo's reliability/agility is a massive massive plus. they are such a tough thing. This GTR im driving on the 6th of Oct is in another league though, its trully an amazingly built high hp car.

Here are a couple of pics of the Evo though.

Looks great mate, glad to hear your enjoying it!

you think a gtr is more fun to drive? the evo would be nice n light, nimble n great chassi; how's response? get that gut thrust that the gtr's torque gives you?

With those slicks im sure it makes you look like schuey on the track lolz; ive heard the gearbox is a weakpoint in the evo, is that true or am i jst hearing things?

let us know how ur mates GTR feels to drive bro

-Be safe n take care

What i miss about the GTR which admittedly doesnt help lap times that much, was the power oversteer on exit. This seldom happens on the Evo. I do have to say though the EVO's turn is amazingly good.

Its surprising, just with the re-flash the car puts out 190awkw. A good friend just fitted an APC motorsport logic exhaust to his EVo and running the other tune set we all have in the ezy-flash, he made 213awkw. That car is actually very quick, power to weight works in the Evo's favour.

As for the gearbox, alot of people that are up over 250awks do opt for the 5 speed rs gearbox over the 6. Having said that there are many 260-300kw cars that have no problems with the 6 speed. I dont see that being an issue! The best part though is the 5 year wty, of which mine has near on 3 years left. So that takes the worry out of any potential issues anyway.

Will get some pics soon of the 32.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
