any reason?

is it cos of lag? driveability?

Firstly lots lag (even with a 2.3l2.4l stroker won;t change much) but that's because of the setup I used and the fact being a 2l only so big of a turbo you can use.

As mentioned, GTR brings a smile to your face everytime, reputation and presence of the car, the fact is basic mods such as power fc, cam gears, more boost and injectors/fuel pump will yield huge gains from that brutal rb26 :P

Oh did I mention, eveytime I'm changing gears I get sounds from my pods that sound like it comes from transformers hehe.

Were you at Superlap? It you want to know what to buy for track work, look at what other people are using, I know you have said it will be a 34, and I would buy a 34 over an evo too, but expect to get beaten at the track by evos...

You're running a TD07 and cams and you're complaining about lag? Try running an Evo 8MR with standard turbo, a remap and 22psi and see what you think then, it's a fantastic combo for the street, although obviously not as powerful up top.

I think this question was answered a long time ago, but if you want to do weekend track work and have a quicker point-to-point car, then the Evo is hard to beat.

The GT-R is a powerful car that rewards talent and is more satisfying to drive.

It depends on whether you want to be faster or have more fun, really.

Ill also add that being faster in the GT-R will take the fun out of it.

No it doesn't lol Its awesome when you get some yobbo's pull up thinking its just one of those rice mobiles and heckle your car when they are in a ES lancer with mirror tint and rims with more chrome than you poke a stick at with a welded on "JDM" Drift cannon and then the light goes green and you beat them without even cracking gate...

Brings a smile to my face every time :laugh: and in no way gets old

Oh I mean using the GT-R as a track weapon, they are an expensive exercise, whilst the evo might not be as ultimately fast, it is fair amount cheaper along the way.

But GT-R all the way, I have a 32 and love it like a son :laugh:

really depends on what you want out of a car

the 34 is heavy, and in stock trim (even up to 1bar boost) isnt that quick,

evo - great for around town , nippy driving,

If the cars cost the same in Oz, id go for the 34.

However they both have their + and - depending on what you want out of it.

Evo is much cheaper to run, GT-R more tuning available ...

brakes on the evo are much much better than the stock bembos on a 34

A friend of mine owns an Evo 5 with around 400awkw featured in fast fours a little while ago (UDLOOZ on the plates) says the only downside for him is besides the recaro's you really couldn't tell the difference between the lancer or the evo. He likes the interior on my 33R a lot more. However i like the interiorof the 34R heaps more than mine lol

He also said the Evo 9 Brembo's he has on his car are almost like drum brakes at the end of the back straight at QR haha

Whats an Evo with that sort of power like to drive around town ? I cant see it being as nice as a GT-R of the same power from a purely physics point of view.

Yeah I prefer the GT-R interiors too, Don't know what it is about the evos but the interior just doesn't feel right a bit cheap maybe.

someone here mentioned a 4 month wait on importing one from japan. do u save a lot of money doing this? do you need to pay then wait all that time?

you need to pay

1. CAR Auction Price (30K)

2. Deposit for compliance (2 weeks or so later) $500

3. Shipping / customs Duty (1.5 months later) $7100

4. then rego / tyres / (once complance done and registered)

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
    • FYI: Racebox RE7R Custom Tunes Released!   https://goracebox.com/.../2017-infiniti-q50-q60-re7r-tcm...   FOR GEN 2 (21+) VEHICLES, PLEASE SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM See more   But whomever tuned your car is the tuner you should go back to, AMS, Sonictune or BT Tune....
