Congrats on being decisive!

The value of a good R34 GT-R ain't dropping much either!

have you got your own place?

if not, buy a house and play cars later

if you have a place then go for the GTR

the GTR is more appealing, bad ass on the street and plenty cheap to go around

my pref would be with the GTR. evo has some advantages though, 4 doors and a boot is great

no i mean, as in, if you only have 1 car and you need to move shit around etc

the skyline is hopeless as you have 2 doors and a boot thats useless

the evo has 2 more doors and a bigger boot

so its handy if you have only 1 car and occasionnally want to move stuff around

Stock EVO's are boring ;)

They stop to like 140awkw or something in the top end, designed to do it which makes them feel flat.

At least you've made your choice - i'd still argue any day $$ for $$ the EVO is a better car for mild mods, but each to their own :O

I'm fortunate to drive all types of imports when they come into the country. Most of them are Evo 7's and 8's. 95% of them are almost stock but once in a while nice example would come through that has mods to do around 200kw. It's those times that I have a really good drive around the "block" with them. :P

Nope, the beauty of a 2 door is......bigger doors.... meaning you can fit more stuff through the doors...i have moved more shit in my 33...including full kenwood home stereo and cabinet , 1mtre tall cabinet and speakers...i even fit a coffeee table on the front seat..seat laid back....neither of which would have fit through sedan doors... :P

Edited by doozooby

both great cars, but fo me it has to come down to the way it'll be modded...

i'm selling up the 33 at some point, and going for a 33r... i did think about an evo... but i just like the GTR better, it does well enough in the tight corners as compared to the evo, but i just can not live without that massive top end pull when you hit a straight, that keeps going right up until anchor time.

plus in an R i can push out a comfy 350odd rwkw and not have to worry about cops and epa's too much...

(that obviously doesn't include defects for wheels hanging out of the guards etc lol)

not looking at doing much to any power mods really. plenty of high powered GTRs out there and im not interested in porung a heap of money to make it stupid quick. as posted most ill do is exhaust and suspension mods, rims and make it look as tough as Aarons Vspec. and having already owned a quickish GTT (to me) im not really looking for another high powered car. just something that is perfect out of the factory box and to me the GTR is exactly that. sure it wills till get cop attention but atleast 98% of it will be legal.

not saying the evo will be any different but ye i <3 GTR

You will love the GT-R.

I had a white R34 GTR with black TE37's,

tein coilovers, cat back. It was a beautiful car to look at and drive on the street.

stupidly low though! I thought i needed a 4dr so i bought an evo IX, flash tuned it,

bought a spare set of rims/semis. So i have experience with both

Nismoid is right when he says the Evo is a better track car dollar for dollar spent.

Not taking anything away from Mark Berrys amazing car though. The Evo is also alot cheaper to track than a gtr.

My GTR used to get hot very quickly, the evo on the other hand could do countless laps in qld heat.

The tyres give up before the Evo raises a sweat.

The GTR's with massive power are more fun to drive on a track than the Evo, but you need to spend the purchase price

again on mods to make them that fun. Also i have yet to see an Evo blow up on the circuit [not saying it doesnt happen]

but i have lost count of the amount of RB26's grenading themselves. That was my one concern with the 34, i always worried about it shitting

itself, the Evo i have alot more confidence in with regard to reliability.

The head should say Evo, the heart will always say GT-R!

Looks like you have gone with the Heart!

You wont regret it, but be sure to give way on the track to everyone that used their head!

seriously. if you cant live with a skyline of any sort as a daily, buy a blouse and fag about in a daewoo....

:banana:

gtr or evo...do you have a brother? pick one and make sure he buys the other. simple...

Your signature says otherwise.

So get the Evo and go slower on the track? :banana:

I thought that might come up.

One is flash tuned with semi's [Evo]

The other one has Alcons, Nismo 1.5 way Diff, T04z, OS giken gearset, Ohlins coilovers,

fully forged bottom end etc. The car was putting out around 330 awkw low boost on that day with a crack in an intercooler hose and a very bad alignment. We will be using all 420awkw on the 11th of feb though and should see those times tumble!

The above 32 Gtr will decimate the almost stock Evo when its running more boost and a decent alignment, however

the cost of mods on that car alone is far more than the purchase price of an Evo IX or R34 GTR.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
