I've driven Nissan's for quite a while now and have Always been impressed with their packages. I used to have an R33 GTS-T for a few years before the R32 GTR, and whilst I'll probably keep my 32 for quite a while to come, one always wants to expand their driving experiences. As we are ALL motor enthusiasts and as such appretiate what other manufactures have to offer.

So what do you guys think and how do they compare, I know they are apples and oranges.. though they still can be picked up at relatively the same price. What would you take for a year or so for a (different) and good car for spirited driving through the hills and streets etc?

evo vi vs s6: evo vi

evo vi vs s8: s8 (that's an s8 (or a kitted 6) that is pictured above, btw)

evo vii vs s8: evo vii

s6 is a bag of worms - definitely do some research before heading down that road (take my word for it!). s8 is the perfection of the 3rd gen FD (though still requires research and caution if you want to mod).

Both cars are pretty much on par when it comes to performance and ability - though the driving experience is poles apart. The FD is a real "drivers' car", while the later evos largely run the show, as opposed to the driver.

The FD is definitely cheaper in terms of bang for buck (despite the common misconception that anything twin turbo is horribly expensive to mod) - as long as it is done wisely.

Having ridden in an evo vii - I can say that it is one of very few japanese cars that I would swap my car for. Aesthetically, however, I'm not a big fan of the viii.

Evo any day - it might not have the straight line power like the rx7, but take it to the G.O.R and bye bye RX7.

Evo is the complete package for sure, and i must agree with Bluprint - Evos have that tough sexy look to them.

Mate, RX7 FC/FD's smoke any car in the hills...

FD's handle better then nearly every jap car ive driven.

FD in my opinion. Personally I would get one in Yellow like Keisuke's from Initial D. I drove behind a red RX-7 at a car cruise on some twisty roads and it seemed to handle like a dream from my point of view. FD's are pretty rare on the streets as well.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
