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 certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
