Hey nice evo. I know it's been covered before but what are key differences stock vs stock. Which is faster? What has more mid range power ? What's fuel consumption like?

I hear that evos are a little bit more expensive to sservice and mod. Is this true.

Do you miss the smoothness of the straight 6 power delivery or do you like the angry Explosive nature of the evo?

Are my questions accurate or am I largely mislead ??

ahh stock for stock im not sure as I bought this with exhaust and boost controller, which I put in my gtt.

also now with a high flow panel filter and a tune the evo is so much faster!

with the mods on the gtt I had around 170-180 rwkw, with the evo I have 200awkw, and you can bloody feel it! my friend has a gtr with 240awkw and he has me in the top end as my car only revs to 7 where his revs to 9 so I need cam shafts to keep up in the top end haha.

the evo is more responsive down low and comes on in the mid range so much harder, but plateus in the top end as the gtt did too.

fuel consumption is better then the skyline, best I got in the skyline on all fwy was 600kms for 60 ltrs, best in the evo is like 500? with a 40 ltr tank. around town they both get around 300kms to a tank so evo dominates that too.

servicing is the same as any other turbo car, only difference is it has 2 diffs, I changed the oil and it cost 50 bucks more hah.

modding is soooooooo much cheaper.... so I have zaust, panel filter, boost controller bit bigger fuel pump and tune. 200awkw. next stage is, cam shaft, springs and retainers to hold them down (1k all together) an evo 9 turbo (around 600 bucks second hand in perfect condition) and a retune on the stock computer which costs 350 bucks. those few things will get me 270kw im told off my tuner. if I got a bigger turbo for 1500 itd make 300kw and if I got injectors and a bigger fuel pump itd go around 350awkw, which would be way to much haha. 270 sounds good to me.

I love the way the evo feels, aggressive is good but I do need to leave Newcastle to have any sort of fun as the highest speed limit around here is 60 so theres no point even trying to have fun hah. luckily theres some fun roads not to far away from me :)

any more questions let me know :)

how do you like the 33r?

I was deciding between to two but went the evo for cheaper modding

I had a 33gtr and then sold it for the evo then went back to a 33 gtr.

I just prefer the GTR, dont get me wrong loved the Evo and would consider buying one again.

SAU EVO Meet?

The plan on 21/7/13 is; that regardless of where an EVO driver starts from whether it be Newy, Cabra, Thornleight or McGraths Hill...

1) Be friendly to Skyline drivers

2) Be a mole and source out which car the videographer is in

3) Go back to the EVO and park next to said car

4) When convoy starts, EVO driver watches the said car engage 1st gear (or reverse)

5) EVO driver plants and maintains his position in front of the vid car all the way up and down the Putty

Lol

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
