Oh siet, congrats you've moved from 80s tech to 00s tech.

You've seen the light, all us RB owners are still blinded by darkness.

(Better go mafless flex setup on stock ecu so you can run dose pipe, yes for the haters stock E9 ecu does flex, mafless, has launch and anti lag)

I really struggled to not buy an EvoX when I was buying the R, such a good package.

I think plenty of us realise the Evo is a better platform in many ways, but there is something special about a GTR still. Yea i realise that's subjective also, for me it was almost purely looks.

Thay said, I am toying with the idea of ditching my Silvia for an Evo track car...

Anyway, this car is going to be awesome.

Cbf scrolling back, when were you tracking it again?

Also I didn't realise a stock Evo ecu did flex, that's amazing.

You can't deny EVOs are light years ahead of the R32/33/34 in terms of performance.

They thought of twin scroll back in mid 90s, where as Nissan continued to use twin turbos which have been proven over and over again how inefficient it can be, imagine if Nissan ever released a factory twin scroll single turbo GT-R.

Because Nissan loves their open scroll turbos in twin forms so much they avoided the obvious twin scroll solution and made the VR38DETT motor LOL

Now that Nissan partially owns Mitsubishi.. I wonder if there will ever be an Evolution Skyline LOL

I don't think you can shit can an entire engine because of the turbos it uses.

I don't think any of us are under any illusions that there's much newer/better tech.

Had I went with my head, I'd have bought an Evo/M3 or a 35 maybe.

I think many of us buy older GT-Rs because the little boy inside us hasn't grown up yet.

I like Evo's, but I don't get a mental boner when I look at them, even a nicely done one. I still grin like an autistic kid when I pull the cover of my 34.

Who cares though, This thread is all about Evo 9 now, more boost plz :D

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
