for 70k I can think of a few cars I would rather have over a 20 year old GTR

Eg Brand new FPV F6 = 60k drive away + 10k in mods = GTR left behind

lol your drunk arnt ya, you reckon you could have 70k worth of gtr and a New FPV would leave it behide..... mate your off your head, i paid 20k for my nismo edition, if i spent 50k on it, there wouldnt be anything sub 500k that would have a chance on leaving it behide, in street trim a gtr with the right mods and abit of money spent, is the ultimate street car, the motive DVD drag challenge prove's it time and time again, 50k on a gtr will get you well into the 10sec mark, and theres not many FPV or HSV that will run those times in street trim, i mean 18inch wheels nice sounds system, the lot.

i raced a FPV F6 with a exhaust and a chiped ecu, and ate it up with my baby 300rwkw.... i would have blowin his windows out with 400-450kw..... think about it

Just like people go on and on about how good R35s are....I still hate the f**king things

I have mixed feelings on those actually, when it first came out i hated it

its starting to grow on me though

i wonder what car I'd get for R35 money ... tongue.gif

oh and a V8 turbo cortina.... dude that would be lucky to have powersteering let alone, climate control A/c and a decent sterio... we are taking about street cars, cars you can get into and drive from NSW to QLD comfortably. Not drag cars with bodged up pink slips that they got from there mate down the road, a number plate, and to run any time worth taking about they need front runners and a Drag tyres be it radials or slicks....

LOL at some of the comments in the this thread...

Firstly i'd like to say that there are few differences between a JDM 6 and JDM 6.5, there is more difference between a ADM 6.5 though... but still negligible differences unless your using it on the track for its entire life.

After driving the evo around, ive done about 2,000k's or so... i have to say i love it even more.

its faults are that it feels very delicate, you have to be finesse with it, take the right line or its just not that great... having said that, as soon as you do take the right line, throw the weight the right way, it feels like its on rails, absolutely love the thing, although i have to say im still learning how to drive the damn thing, you can easily see why there a favourable car to have on the track.

turning circle is crap, which you really only notice doing u-turns as i believe they have tight steering ratios to compensate for this, as it definitely feels that way.

its a 35litre fuel tank, which sucks if you go for long drives, which luckily i dont, in saying that its tight gear ratios means you really shouldnt be driving this car all that much on freeways anyway. but its good having it so small i suppose if your a poorpa like me 30$ and your over half way :D also means fuel doesnt have that much space to splash around in for when your fangin it.

it comes with awesome features which you really wouldnt expect on a street car but because of WRC regs so tight which meant production cars had to be so similar... = evo's are awesome.

fuel tank is outside/under the boot, awesome for stripped interior, shit for when you have to change the fuel pump.

no filler neck restrictor, so its easier to fill petrol.

cabin is very practical... plus so much more little things, plus things im still yet to notice, as im sure there's more but i cant think of now off the top of my head.

Thats all i can really remember to report on for now... would recommend an evo 6 for anyone thats looking for a really well rounded sports car with this amount of money to spend, only if you dont like bashing your cars, and can adjust your driving style.

cheers.

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
