Some more questions to cloud the question.

What if you're drunk and your mates gotta drive? Evo wins that battle I reckon. None of my mates could hill start my GTR. (My wife could though, she drove it better than most of my friends.)

What if you have kids? (And the kids have legs)

What if you live in a snowy area?

All those questions aside, what if you have style. ;):D

Leave R32 GT-R at home. Get hammered.

Have legs; can walk

What if you live in a snowy area?

R32 GT-R has 4WD sort of

R32 GT-R

Well, this is compelling. The arguments (and poll) appear to be clearly one-sided. Its turning into a little bit of an embarrassment :yes: (if i'm honest).

If the track has corners bye bye R32 Micky :P

The Yanks are pulling 10's with the stock 9 turbo

This is tough, I'm die hard GTR fan but even I would contemplate the EVO VII as real compition for best bang for buck and if my near stock 32 hadn't already run 11.1 I just might have voted EVO

I should add, he did pick up a shitter R32 VSpec2, but didn't have the money to fix it up at the time, so sold it cheaply.

Still, for an all-rounder, the Evo is better.

I'd still choose the GT-R life because I always wanted one, from seeing a silver R33 GT-R at Oran Park in 1997 when I was single digit, to Gran Turismo and Bathurst/ATCC VHS tapes my dad has.

And probably because I have daily lol.

Previous to my R, i owned an Evo 7.

Bloody 23 pounds of boost and all i managed was 200awkw. The Recaros are pretty average in them TBH, and weren't that comfortable. The side bolsters are not 1 piece, so the stitching wears real easy.

Understeerd alot more than the heavier R, and was boring after 1 year of ownership.

45?? L tank and I got 350km at most.

My VIII MR felt so agile, responsive, chuckable and obviously modern.

But the quality of manufacture and attention to detail just doesn't stack up against my BNR32.

Sure the Supra 2JZ has stronger pistons, conrods etc,...

But the upgradability of the RB26 is absolutely remarkable.

Oh yes, I forgot to add that my 8MR cam belt broke and the Recaro plastic support also broke.

I have been in both and the R32 GTR feels & sounds a lot more special. my cousin had built one with built motor & upgraded twins in 2004-2005 and I was completely blown away when he took me for a drive in it.

it feels special whereas the evo doesn't. the evo is a bit more sterile....

Lol yeah, you can't compair my 32 v an evo for track use, my 32 has had the shit beat out of it one to many times and needs some serious tlc in the driveline department

Iirc I know the EVO you are talking about and please, the engine is FULL built with all the fruit plus E85 and the car is pretty well stripped out and on slicks to run 10.7-10.8, change the turbo and it is a 9 second car :/

Edit, found it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HaWrQg7t_Rc

I voted for the GTR for the same reason. Having owned a modified EVO TME and now a modified GTR, I prefer the GTR.

The GTR has a 'soul' and a special feel about it that no other car I have owned seems to have. Difficult to describe. But I am sure any GTR owner will agree.

Better is such a broad term - really need to define what variable one car is going to be better at.

If chasing a broad variable I'd probably go for length of ownership as a good judge of what makes people favour one over the other. My experience is that people tend to buy Evos, have a lot of quick fun and get over them / sell within a year of buying. No one seems to hold them for a long time - maybe they don't inspire the same passion Skylines do. 32 GTR owners seem to hang onto them for years - however, I'm unsure if this is a true love / can't let you go thing, or born out of necessity...given most 32Rs spend more time in a state of repair than being driven haha

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
