What...I have nothing to do with Justin converting, but he will be once he takes a ride after I get the Evo back from the tune.

People should not see the Evo as a GT-R competitor as both cars are obviously different i.e. engine capacity is different and practical space etc...even though the Evo smacks the GT-R silly around the track. The Evo should be seen as the GT-R if it were built with a 2000cc 4cyl engine. The Evo makes alot of sense for people who don't need a big 6 or feel the need to for hugh horsepower. The 4G63 is much older than the RB26 and it's still being used, internals are tough as nails and if ever the need to make hugh horsepower she's very capable.

From the buyers point of view, the best bang for buck! Justin knows how much I've spent on the car, almost nothing as all the parts on the Evo are rated over 400ps...with stock turbo and injectors, just add boost = 410ps+. The Evo7 4G63 pushes the unopen block limit to 500ps. Again stock as a rock!...slap on a GT3037 and add boost, just under 500ps! Not to mention the factory turbo TD05 will handle 1.7 bars and not shatter :D and who gives you a 9sec factory gearbox :D.

One thing I will say against the Evo's are their FF bias... tendency to understeer etc.

Troy's already quietly shat himself twice :D while I had the tail out in the R32... the 4WD kinda desensitizes you to tail out shenanigans.

I'd definately set an Evo up like a FF circuit racer ie: replace the rear sus with iron bars and dump the front and jack the tail end up sky high.

E-W are always FF bias...and dare I say it's where the Evo holds it's advantage. Along with the 4WD and AYC she rides on rails.

Most cars are setup to understeer, it is generally consider easier to correct than oversteer. By instinct your reaction under slide is to lift off the throttle and hit the brakes, which will transfer weight to the front end and increase traction there. Thus helps recover and correct understeer. The same thing in an oversteering car will usually make the situation worse by unloading the rear tires and further reducing their traction.

She's on the dyno tomorrow for her last tune before the journey home. My tuner is sad to see her leave. I told him I'm more than happy to have him fly over to tune her, as I don't know how good the HKS Aust tuners are. As I said unopen motor, stock cams, std injectors, std turbo hope she makes 220-230awkw with the new HKS SA CPU, the old F-Con V was too restrictive.

Justin you coming tomorrow?

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
