Just depends how competitive you wanna be?

I love both cars and own an evo 9 & NOTHING corners like it!

My 1st track day ever I was 5th fastest lap of the day in my 1st timed session ( popped a cooler hose 2nd session and it started to rain before my 3rd session) & the fastest on street tyres I believe.... Not bad for an amateur and a stock turbo :D

A 200kw evo feels like a 300kw gtr performance wise in street trim imo

Waiting to be flamed now lol :(

Evos typically cost more. You can usually buy a GTR and get it built to how you want it for the price of a good evo....

In saying that:

My mate has an evo 9.

Exhaust+ up the boost see 220KW. Job done.

Edit: in saying that i did notice Op saying 5/6/7 evo. I would get a 32 to be perfectly honest. Though i am biased.They are cheaper and quite a bit lighter than the other dielines. And it doesn't cost that much to get them "Safe".

Strip them and they really come out of their shells. (so to speak)

unless youre at a track with gutters aye micko :D

Rb26 rebuilds aren't cheap so keep that in mind.

especially if you have the older r32 with the short nose crank.

altho not much comparison but 209awkw evo 7 feels faster and more fun corning than my 280rwkw R34 GTT.

but on a motorway run, the skyline would pull away.

9 Months for a ground up rebuild is normal TBH. Mine was in the shop for about that. Im still going too. Only little things to go. The only part that is original is the radiator ATM. getting replaced next month. Everything else is brand new pretty much.

I wouldn't risk buying a GTR without putting it into a shop before you track it. Or buy one cheapish and track it till it does break. If you are willing to put the time in (time more than money) they are worth it.

Other option is to possibly find a GTS-4 skyline and do a 30/25 conversion into it. Just an idea. (cheaper!)

Lol @ all the power mods talk! What about making the car balanced & handle? Big power aint gunna win the races corner speed is and that's where the evo shines! Evo will probably cost a lil more for the initial purchase but will cost alot less to make it faster around a track ;)

For a starting track car simple Coilovers are simple and cheap. all the discussions beforehand have been about the engine hence the input.

It is not hard nor costly to make a GTR handle beautifully.

Just wondering if you have driven an evo before Anthony? Cause while I do agree that it doesn't take much to getting a GTR to handle well a cheap nasty set of coilovers still wouldn't bring it up to spec with an evo with a rear sway bar and some swift springs on stock struts.

Legit though. Personally if i was looking into a track car id get a gts-4 and convert it. All the positives from the GTR without the price tag!

Except for the wider track and ability to run wider tyres and alloy bonnet and guards and the ability to say GTRs bischs

    • Had a chat to Tony Mamo - he advised that looking at the graph's shape (regardless of number translation) it shouldn't be levelling off like that up top. He said it looks like the car is running a restrictor plate or something of that nature. Luckily the last dyno pull on E85 was saved to the PC - So I did a quick trace of Barometric KPA vs Intake manifold pressure, and lo and behold I see a copy of the 'waves' I was seeing on the dyno: I'm not entirely sure how to go about addressing this. It may be worth sacrificing IAT to run a more direct intake for the motor. Though packaging this could be flat out impossible given the constraints of the car. I should have removed the intake pipe to see if this made a difference but looking at this graph I now have something to potentially test in the future and think about. This one is from an old track day log in the OLD setup going through gears on track.
    • Oh, I forgot too, all the multimedia stuff captured and sold through things like people playing Pokemon Go. Pokemon Go specifically, can actually be traced all the way back to a CIA investment company too. So yep, they're watching everything. Not to mention the new stuff where they've worked out how to use WiFi signals to be able to map occupants inside of a building. That one would be something that I see being more used in public/government buildings, as you need to understand the signals when the room has no one in it first. It's not as easy as Hollywood would like you to think it is.
    • Followed ☺️ Assuming those are NEO rods, then at least 400kW all day.
    • Lets keep this going , Spotted this very stock V35 in Penrith and also saw a nice R32 FLY past me on Castlereagh rd , sounded really good.
    • Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.
