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.

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
