I've driven a number of evo's from 6 to 10 and own a 32 GTR track car. The evo is ready to track out of the box with relatively few mods required. The GTR is a much different story as mentioned above

So did you push the car through some corners? Understand if you didn't as its not your car ;) On tighter tracks an evo is leagues ahead. On a more open track the Big R will lay waste to an evo HP pending of course lol

I did and it does. Though my car is pretty much set up properly as well.

As an owner of 3 Emos previously (6, 7 & an 8) and now have an R33 GTR I'd say go the GTR! But... and it's a big butt:

You need deep pockets to run a GTR as they have huge weight & power & that equals many sets of tyres & brakes. Plus they arent cheap to fix/maintain full stop.

The Evo's only ever lasted 6 months & I got bored. the 6 speed gearbox made the 8 so much better than the 6 & 7 I had but the handling was still 1 dimensional & boring on a track. However, on the road the Evos are more playful & more fun for it than the GTR by miles! The GTR feels too big & slow to respond...

Not sure I've helped here...

My work is done.

Not at all lol

The car will be mainly used for track duties with the odd occasion of going for a cruise. Ive come to the conclusion that I need to just go and drive a couple, I'm sure one will jump out at me more then the rest.

Ordinary is that your GTR videos on YouTube ?? Ordinarydriver ??? I assume it is.

The only thing that sways me to a EVO is the cost of running and mechanical strength at the track. Cheaper to run, cheaper to fix and just as quick.

But then again GTR's seem pretty bullet proof upto 250awkw, besides the oil starvation issue at the track and filling upto the bump in the stick seems to fix that problem.

Last thing I want is to spend around 20k on a car then need to spend another 10k on an engine rebuild in a year or so. This is where the Evo seems to have the edge in reliability. But then again anything can happen at the track.

How much have you tracked before if you don't mind me asking?

A stock gtr vs stock evo umm yes an evo is leagues ahead. .. A Stock GTR is a nugget ;)

Only cos Nissan got lazy and sat on their asses. Look at the incremental development with the evo over the years and compare that to the GTR. An R34 isn't that much better over an R32.

& of course your 9 is a couple generations younger than even the latest model R34.

Evo doesn't hold a candle to a GTR in terms of road presence too.

Dollar for dollar though, evo does win hands down. A 20k evo 8 would go a lot better round a track than a 20k 32GTR.

I 100% agree with that mate nothing says gtfo of my way like a GTR does on the road and on the track too! :D

I might be slightly biased to an evo owning 1 But pretty much all my mates own gtrs and i LOVE THEM so dont think im hating on GTR'S for a second here but im sorry reality is an evo is a better track car.

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
