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

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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
