at this stage most likely an evo of some sort...

looking to downsize money in cars and put more into property, and go back to just one car, so want something fun, i can drive daily, has abit of space (4 doors), is fast and can go to the track inexpensively... evos seem to fit the bill pretty well with the price range im looking at, i know it wont be the same as the gtr though unfortunately ha.

Congrats Isaac. Probably the nicest 34 I have seen as well. Brilliant choice.

Hi Anthony this is Isaac the guy who bought your car :) yeah I'm extremely happy with it and specially how well it was looked after, been told by my mates and mechanic that it's probably the best condition 34GTR they've seen . Looking forward to catch up with some of the skyline forums members when they're going for a cruise.

Ha! Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy!!! lol

yea always been more into evos than sti's

haha bring it on!

:P

Will be good to get out on the track with ya man!

Hahahahaha love sti's. Engine is a bit lower down. And handles better with all assist off I find.

But this debate can go on and on. Haha

I've done a clutches, engines and timing belts in both, subaru is a lot easier in all accounts

Im talking modification wise evos are a lot easier. Subarus are shit. I once took a round about in a STi was understeering nearly climbed a kerb as with the evo at a greater speed took it like on rails.

Lol the Evo and STI battle still rages on.

One thing is clear though.

and i just cannot AGREE MORE! LOL!!!

The battle never ends - was lucky to compete in a hillclimb couple years back with a GC8 with DCCD and also had some fun with an EVO - personally i find the Sti's nicer to drive... The evos without any electronics can be a handful.. Agreed on making power on the EVO much easier...

But in the end - its personal preference - either car in good hands - bloody rapid cars...

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
