I see them everywhere in Japan and with a few body mods they look great.

I've test driven a couple and reckon they would be a seriously fun wagon to own.

Are they on the cards for compliance in Oz cause reckon they would be snapped up real quick.

Some friends of mine in Japan are currently shopping for one, it'll eventually come back as a personal import, but aside from that there's no likelihood that they'll ever be eligible under SEVS, unfortunately.

Any reason why?? They look very nice, very sleeperish

Wasn't J-Spec trying to get one in a while back?? Also their website is down (due to malicious activity on their webserver)

If they were available I would have one...but since they aren't...i'm quite happy with my Stagea (that's until I saw Carizma selling a Manual C34 Stagea for 16k and began crying)

Too similar to the normal Lancer wagon and the Evo 9, both sold here in full volume, to be considered a separate model rather than a variant. Only option is if someone personally imports one.

Dotars is worse than World War 2

you know some of the fellas from the DOTARS SEVS team are on the forum right?

No. Think of DoTaRS like death and taxes.

you cheat them once a year?

OK thanks, I just wan't sure if anyone had tried to apply.

So to make me more learned, is it because it would be considered a variant of the Evo 9 not a different model?

Aren't all Evo's variants of local models?

FAIL.

I emailed the editor of PI, here's his response.

"Adrian, there was some talk a while ago that they might have been coming in, but in reality there is no chance of them being eligible. They are simply too similar to both the Lancer Wagon and Evo IX to be justified a separate model and thus eligible. It’s a pity, really, as they’re an awesome platform. How about a Legnum instead?

Regards,

Jason Round

Editor"

Next step, move to japan for a year and bring one back :(

hallo..

okay - blitzboy i GET that you want an evo wagon - and it's a bit of a smack across the face to be told "how about a legnum instead?" but that go tme thinking!

(not that that's a smack across the face - it's just that if you want a lanevo - YOU WANT A LANEVO!)

in my personal opinion the legnum is up there with late model soarers / chasers as far as "low priced, value for money" imports go right now..

the only problem with the legnum - is in today's climate, they look very dated... on the contrary though... i LOVE the rear end of the legnum... FAR more than the evo wagon!!!

i'l just come out and say this... get a legnum. it's a cheap blank canvas.

bring a front clip in of an Evo9. and convert the front end... they share the same chassis i beleive... i think this would be a natural progression for it!

plus - doesn't the evo9 have a better engine than the legnum anyway? better lift or something? you could sell your legnum engine off surely! :(

it would definitely be a very unique car :P i'd have one for sure!

you'd also have a much bigger migraine from all the running around and a smaller bank balance.

the lancer wagon fails the silhouette test.

why not grab a Caldina wagon? It's almost the same form factor.

i heard they go slow...

(that's just what i heard - for all i know they may whip teh pantz!!)

but based on my mate's celica GT-4 - i find his car is ridiculously slow...

that's coming from a guy with an RB20de+T (not very fast)

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
