GTRs are good and all but too old to buy now IMO, even when I spoke to Vu about his 34 he said he had to replace some major parts that were rusted the same as my R33 :\

Id go for a mid 2000s evo instead if possible (7-8-9) but don't really like the interior that much

what it sounds like? lol i've read it three times and sounds the same.. maybe my mind is f**ked today

Lol your brain is fried.

I read it as:

The difference between driving his GTS-R and an R34 GTR weight difference was similar to the differences between an EVO and R33 GTR being about 250kg's

Oh brains fried.

inb4 Richo buys one for Time Attack

lol, don't event tempt me more than I am. Such an easy car to go fast in, extracting that little extra is super hard though.

8mr ftw

errrr, yep there goes the value for money. 8MR is like buying a NUR, well not a far as NUR but similar. It's the pimp spec, but for the same money you can make a much better VIII or IX.

VII is what...17K buy price (22K asking) and a VIII MR is 30K buy price. I'd buy a IX over an VIII MR any day, they are pretty much the same price and the IX is far superior engine wise.

One of the OTR VIII is up for sale atm, bargain for what it is.

Also Dan's East Beat GTT is for sale again in the ACT.

Yeh I'm considering 6 or 7.. Hopefully this guy buys my car

7>6 any day... 6 are too outdated

Fair point. Apparently the VII have weaker rods though, although I prefer the VII To the other girly ones. Not gonna do much if I get one though so come at me weak rods

I've heard of guys running upt o 260kw or more in 7s as long as you don't have a huge torque curve it'll last

It's actually the quick torque from responsive power setups that generally kill the rods

however to rebuild forged 2.4litre engine is cheaper than rebuilding a forged 2litre

5 was the best looking Evo. Or should I say, the least ugly.

I'm a HUGE 5 fan, but they are way to outdated now

plus to mod them they cost more than the newer models

Add 18" wheels/tyres, exhausts, bigger brakes (a common GTR upgrade where EVO doesn't) and so on and it can certainly get higher :)

I suspect a R33 is heavier than 1550 to start off with. My GTS-R was 1400kg without me in it as i weighed it, and the GTR feels a LOT heavier than 150kg more. I remember driving Snowys R34 years back and it felt like at least 250-300kgs packed into it as it was similar from driving a EVO6 to a R33 GTR feels about the same in terms of difference.

Plus half the time the figures are not 100% accurate from a manufacturer as they dont say if its kerb weight (full fluids) or not.

EVO's are on par easily with GTR's, well the ct9a anyway

Few of the evolutionoz.net guys have weighed them and they come up to about 1450kg with half tank of full (about 29litres LOL)

A 6 and a 33R similar weight? No chance .. ive driven both and the 6 feels much lighter, even though the 33 R ha more power.

Maybe a 7 might be nearing the weight of a 33r but I doubt it

different cars, the gtr being longer is less 'nimble' so the evo with feel lighter anyway

they heavy cars, the only really light ones are the RS's

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
