get the GTR, As good as Evos are, its just a shitty lancer :D

Ditto. If all you want is a wheelbarrow that handles go buyt a kart. Both the evo and the rex are darn plain shitty looking cars compared to a 15 yo line. As for breakage. if you leave the line at the same power output as the evo it wont break either.

Trouble is, we keep on trying to squeeze more and more out of them. That said. who gives a shit, If it aint breaking you aint tryin hard enough. Leave them alone and they wont break, Mod them and they will. So will the others if they are taken to some of the extremes that lines are taken to.

As the driver of the giant car said. he owns both and with the same dollar invesatment in the evo it still wont blow wind up the arse of their gtr. So much for their performance kudos.

An EVO holds the record at Tsukuba.....by a decent amount too, but that said for every fast EVO there is a GTR that is close and visa versa at TS in recent years

I think Dollar for dollar they would be close enough for the driver to be the main difference!

I hear what you are saying Andy but imo the only thing that even puts the evo near the gtr is the fact that it is a a lightweight.

An Evo is as heavy as an R32GTR!

And Light is good :whistling:

But each to their own

Really tho. He sold the gtr for a reason to buy the evo. He needs to ask himself what that reason was. If it was 4 doors and a boot, then the gtr is a stupid option. If it was he just didnt like the gtr as much as the evo, same deal, buying a newer one wont change that.

Grrr this is sooo hard and confusing, its true what u guys have said bout modin skylines up n pushin em to extreme and breakin em, same applies to evo's. id own a evo over a crappy rexy any day and any time ;)..... U R A BUS Hahaha

any ways yeah im hell keen on the 34 gtr and i love all skylines, im just 50 50 which sux. well i'll put my evo up for sale and see how that goes and hopefully i mite be back with the liner cruise YAY :whistling:

I'd say stick with the evo.. but then again i know how much u love ur bloody gtr's :P haha just gotta keep in mind also that i KNOW u'll end up doing quite abit of mods if you decide to get the GTR (even though u say u wont :P hahaha).. the evo is has warranty for ages, power is fantastic.. it goes so beautifully around corners, low k's, almost brand new.. and im sure the re-sale value will hold alot more than the GTR, and best of all its sexy :):wub::thumbsup: hahahaha

but all in all, its ur money pumpkin and im sure u'll make the right decision :):santa:

squish this is for u! >_<:yes::(

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
