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.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
