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 .

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.

      So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
