Yeh its just an opinion, the evo isnt bad just cos i say it dont look nice :wassup:

But thats what everyone has assumed.

Peace rb26dett :)

Your a smart guy and i respect what you have to say, like everyone here, and the fact you own a GTR says alot

And the reason i said i have japanese in my family is because RB26dett said ive never been outside australia, i went around thailand and japan for 3 months last year, people are just too quick to assume things around here.

Have you immersed yourself in motorsports outside Australia? Going around places with a hat, sunglasses and a camera is not the same as actively participating in the motorsports life outside Australia you know?

No i havent, im still young got some big travelling to do in the future :)

I kinda look at the forum like a mediator between two people;

It allows people to share information and different opinions without causing drama. Kind of like a middle-ground.

Now if i wasnt here, thered be hardly any discussion at all in this thread cos everyone loves EVOs!

2007 release? This is around the supposed release of the R35 yes?

Woo! im off to watch sopranos

There was no need for that^

Are you done? How long u been here 2 months? Fulfil your egotistic needs by calling names at me online :)

What have u productively put into this except your vocabulary of swear words

You buddy are an Egyptian Mule Anal crustacean

:spcow:

dosnt matter how long ive been here

What have u productively put into this except your vocabulary of swear words

why thank you.

You buddy are an Egyptian Mule Anal crustacean

what ever the fcuk thats ment to mean

anyway enough of the bagging stay on topic

err.. ok... so... when i was at the mit dealer.... i was told that 100 pcs of EVO8 will be in month end and another 100 pcs next January. The second shipment is actually dependable on the sales outcome of the first batch.

btw, Black has been the most popular colour in QLD so far :)

anyway enough of the bagging stay on topic

:) !

all youve done is bagging buddy!

Your last few post have been "Your gay/stupid and your mum has an ass fatter than topsecret supra"

:bonk:

Now, evo!

has anyone done a famous big single conversion? theres never an evos in mags around here, there is a GT-X or something in a recent HPI that comes with Auto-shift automatic

So they only intend to bring over 200?

If they advertised it better i cant see why they woulnt sell asmany as the RX8/350Z

I think the problem is what i said earlier, hardly anyone really knows them or anything about them

Wrong Knore, everybody just loves picking the smart ass and that's exactly what you have been doing. Read your own posts. Seriously you should have quit way back in your second post and we all would have kindly educated you as well as others on why the Evo is as competitive as the GT-R.

I've been asking you questions and you haven't been able to give me a straight answer yet. Others have been asking you questions and you haven't been able to give a straight answer either. Each time just jumping straight to the point of the styling...man you evidently display very shallow knowledge of the both cars in question. Furthermore being out of the country doesn't mean you have seen it all mate, you obviously know little about what makes a great performance car...especially the Evo, but that's OK because you already worship the greatest car ever built the GT-R can neva lose!!!

If you can give us one single reason why the Evo doesn't cut it competively to any other performance car then perhaps we'll show you some respect...here's your chance!

How am i a smart ass?, that is simply your pre-requisite to start a picking apart and also a fake inplace reason incase there isnt one.

Read my own posts? Man i type them ..

What have u asked me thats relevant that i havent answered?

Ofcourse because ive been out of the country doesnt mean ive seen it all, geez, when did i ever say ive seen it all? You are the biggest assumptionist ive ever talked to.

If you read back to the start i tried to stop all the silly stuff by saying You like evos i like Gtrs .. etc But u kept it going.

And asmuch as you dismay the GTR provides the image to me that you arent all that fussed on GTRs, to me, yes they are 'the' if not one of the best cars ever designed. And thus is my opinion unto yours that the evo is one of the best ever made.

Why the evo doesnt cut it compared to other performance cars? omg

where have u been lately? for the 10000x i never said the evo doesnt have the peformance, Its the body, the looks, the front, the back, the interior, the wheels etc

So lets leave it at that and all be happy

I just wanted to put something into the discussion, a discussion is not a discussion without both sides, if you cant respect that evo lee then you dont have any respect

knore, rb26_s15 - stop bagging each other and arguing like girls. If you dont stay on topic i'll have to do something drastic.

Christian

There is a God... :zap:

:)

I think the EVO's are great cars, but why should it matter if people as you say 'wouldnt be able to tell them apart'? who cares! i didn't chose to buy a Skyline cause i want everyone to know what it is... if i did then id plaster the words SKYLINE up the side, and i'm sure EVO owners feel the same. I can see where you're coming from Knore, and i agree, to a certain degree some of the evos LOOK similar to a standard Lancer, but again, why should it matter, they're very different cars where it counts, and thats under all those body panels.

That said, not everyone can afford an EVO, so whats wrong with buying a base model Lancer and slapping a bodykit on it? It's pretty much the same thing as buying a Skyline GTS and putting a GT-R kit on it.

I think this argument has been blown out of proportion by comments made that other users are taking too seriously. at the end of the day these are just opinions. If you can learn to make constructive conversations and arguments without resorting to calling other users idiots then we'd all be better off.

    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1680, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.
