Need help deciding. Evo 6 vs fully worked R34 GTT

Hi guys! Geez its been a long time since ive logged on.

Ill cut the long story short. I have the option of choosing a midnight blue evo 6 with a power fc, heavy duty clutch and all the necessary mods to make it around 200kw at the wheels. Very clean and looks great.

The other option is a fully worked R34 GTT stroked to a 2.8. Big ass gtx turbo on it. Fully forged internals, GTR gear box. Its had about 40k of work done to it. 450hp at 13psi or 750hp at 19psi.

If you guys were in my shoes, what would be the better car? 

If only the R34 was a GTR then obviously my mind would be made up lol :(

Evo. drop in cams, cam gears and e85 will be seeing close to 300kw atw from the 4g63 and will be reliable day in day out.

also red the 4g63 is one of the strongest 4 cylinder engines to ever come out of Japan, there's a heap of videos where evos run 600hp on stock bottom ends.

Just don't buy a rwd skyline, mates have had them and they have got rid of them.

Thanks man! You just sold me on the evo 6. 

are they comparable to a gtr in terms of power and potential?

Depends a lot on how well the 34 build was done... If done well, its the better, faster, more fun car.

I.e don't buy it unless you absolutely can vouch for it.

OEM is often the best builder ;)

A neat clean Evo 6 should keep its value longer than a GTt .

Last of the real ones ie homologation specials before production based Group A Rally was axed for kit car WRC regs .

True , a Neo 25T will make the power easier with 6 pots but at warp 9 the Evo will be a more stable platform . 

I like my GTS25T but I feel a lot safer when it comes to fast steering cornering and stopping in my 6GSR . The reaction to driver inputs is a fair bit sharper in the Evo and they feel VASTLY more sure footed and planted than a RWD R series Skyline .The Skyline is arguably the better daily and long distance tourer but its more relaxing because its not quite as sharp and you have to pay a bit more attention to where the Lancer is going and how the chassis talks to you .

Things like fast racks close ratio gearboxes and magic feeling brakes are standard equipment even on the GSR version .  

Take a look at the Top Gear and 5th Gear youtubes on Evo 6s , interesting .

Probably the real test would be a factory standard Evo 6 vs a factory standard GTt . I reckon the Mitsy would eat the GTt .

Think hard about an Evo 6 vs the later Cedia based 7/8/9 because parts are more readily available for them . Also 6s didn't get the active center differential and the later transfer case won't fit under a 6 .

      Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed

      hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me

      Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
