dham it... this tread has it all posts where GT-R is mentioned in the same topic as the Soarer... now that just insulting period.

:domokun:

also i dont think R34 GTT is the same price range as Evo 8, but there are some nice Evo 7 going cheap.. i am guessing you will be looking at these not to mention the few Evo 7 GTA the auto version and Evo7 GTA Wagon.. surely there must be few on car sales

I also looked at GT-A's on Carsales yesterday, and from what I've read, seems to be a pretty decent package for a sleeper daily, no bonnet vents, no wing (optional), Triptronic, but everything else is an Evo 7. Pretty street/utility friendly being a sedan, too.

For about the same price of a 1995 GT-R you can get a 2003-3 GT-A.. Brand loyalty aside, the questions and comparisons do warrant looking into..

please no GTA and definitely no auto / tiptronic - I saw these GTAs the other day when lookin at EVO 7 on carsales and I went 'what the...' An auto evo omg..

And about soarers...erm nice boats them soarers...they remind me of a huge blob of jelly everytime i see one.....but they do have the best interior of all Jap sports cars....but again they are big BOATS to cruising to bahamas in.. :)

V35 is not much of a boat, it actually looks a fair bit smaller than a 34 taxi, and R35s could be erm - race boats or whatever you like to call them, but then again, a soarer is a nice - erm luxury boat, what do you guys reckon..?

I have driven an EVO 6.5 TME.

Was a fun car to drive and would make a nice daily.

It was stock with an aftermarket air intake and I could tell it had plenty of potential to open up the power.

Even though it only being a 2lt Inline 4, Turbo it was probably one of the fastest 4 doors I have ever driven.

Only thing I dislike about the EVO or Lancers in general, is the gearbox.

The engine is East / West position, hence the gearbox follows that position (FWD positioning) meaning there are linkages.

So while changing gears, it felt a little 'notchy' VS the Nissan gearbox, which I am use to, is very straight.

So the EVO has a different characteristic VS a Skyline.

Still an EVO would be a decent change from your GTT.

Luxury Yacht thank you very much hahah

Everyone should know its not about what can beat what. There will always be a car out there that will beat yours. Skyline, Evo, Rex, Soarer (Sadly lol), Charade (LOL), VN Commodore (LMAO). It's all about how much money you throw down the rabbit hole. It's what you personally prefer is the reason you get the car. It's your personal preference of what style you love to drive. This discussion will just go in loops trying to comapre each of them as they are very different cars.

Evos are great cars basically the only "Great" car that comes from the Mitshu's but they are not what I want and love to drive.

You will rape some and you will get raped by some.

Stock EVO 7 has 383NM, stock R34GT-R has 373NM and R34GT-T has 343NM, and I think the torque in the EVO comes on earlier too...

WTF is wrong with our bigger capacity 6 cylinder motors, even the over-hyped GT-Rs donk is less than this small 2L 4 cyl Mitsi motor..what an embarassment to the Nissan straight 6 clan, sure power isnt everything, BUT at least in this category we should have significantly more torque than the 4G63.

Theres nothing wrong with them. Chuck and exhaust, filter and the 14psi they deserve and away you go.

Ive never owned an Evo but I will at some stage, might even make it my next car.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
