-Lamborghini LP640 1:06.70

-Porsche 911 GT3 (997) 1:07.40

-Porsche Carrera S 1:08.50

-Mercedes CLK63 Black 1:08.60

-Mitsubishi EVO IX 1:09.39

-Audi TTS 1:09.40

-Mitsubishi EVO X 1:09.50

-BMW 135i Coupe 1:09.90

-FPV F6 08' 1:09.90

-FPV F6 (auto) 1:10.10

-Subaru WRX STi (My05) 1:10.10

-Nissan 350Z Track 1:10.30

-Lotus Exige 1:10.66

Some of those seem pretty underrated/responsive to mods as well.

I don't know of anyone going from a souped up GTR to a Stock 350Z anytime soon. Put a pro driver in your R33 GTR and see what they do relative to us mere mortals :P

I do personally rate the Evo X though. I have driven one and a friend has one. 220kw at the wheels and some Ohlins + AD08R's and you're like, well, what else do you really need?

Drove the car. Makes my 33 feel as old as it is.

I think you've just been stuck in skyline-mode with rose coloured glasses.

personally i dont find skylines are that special either. Evo's are fairly special (in a not-cool way) but plenty more interesting things to drive around.

Drive one for a bit, but keep in mind everyone on SAU sells their Evo eventually when they realise it isnt very exciting unless driven like a maniac (and then what car isnt exciting when driven to the limit?)

I always justify how much I spend on the pulsar by thinking "at least its not a GTR" because seriously everything I do is like half the cost of GTR equivalent.

Maybe that is the case and my eyes are now opened.

Or maybe my eyes have been opened to see what happens when you hit the track multiple times only to be competed against a near stock Evo.

Or to be schooled on a skid pan. These are the things to consider in my case.

And the missus likes it. But she likes the fatty too. Says she will need some time adjusting.

135i?

They can be flash tuned to some silly number too. Plus, you get all the other niceties of a BMW.

Still RWD, Still Manual, if that's your thing.

Obviously an AWD turbo is easier to just add power and have that added power translate to forward momentum :P

There's a trick to tuning EVOs you either progressively build boost after peak torque, or purely run very low timing at peak torque.

You can happily make 350awkW on an EVO and not throw rods if you know what you're doing.. also by progressively building boost after peak torque or simply running less timing at peak torque and as you get to peak torque you'll end up with a flatter torque curve.

Is that to me or zebra?

Just stated a fact that's all, no dick waving here, just a shame some people perceive a post that way because they have a dick up their arse, and yes evos are great cars but u can't push them like you can push an rb in stock form.

By the way zebra never seen an rb blow up by turning the wipers on, dickwad.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
