akeenan,

I agree they are better but the Evo 8 will not be out till next year or so and the interior really sucks big time.

Also the fact that it will be at least high $60K if not low $70K by the time you get them on the road (My opinion!). That's almost $10K more than STI.

see told u if posted this up in Skylines Australia, u'd have a HEAP more input :D

Yeah, i was reading about the NEW STi, and apparently Subaru have "eliminated turbo lag"... now don't ask me how, but apparently it was perfected on their WRC cars and the technology has made it's way to the road cars. STi's are known to be laggy.... but with the new STi's being like 2.5 or 2.6 litres with pratically no turbo lag...i'd hate to think how fast that's gonna be.

anyways.... i voted at the SDU.

suby more practical but also faster

nissan more of a cruiser, better looks.

basically whateva u need the car to do, choose on that.

cheers.

SS8_Gohan,

Thanks mate. Much better in here than SDU.

I never thought that being such a different car between the 350Z and the MY03 STI people still have hard time picking one or the other.

My heart lean towards the STI more at this present stage only the fact that it is more practical and I can almost park where I want without catching too much attention.

As for the 350Z, I still like them but........................I have to follow my heart.

Vote, more votes please!

I love the WRX, it used to be the car I wanted but bang for buck and 2nd hand Skyline was cheaper than a 2nd hand WRX (I wanted MY98+).

And I didn't realise till I started looking at the 'line that a 2 door was what I really wanted (before I was 100% set on a sedan).

Anyway, good point - if you need practicality, I'd go the STi. I think the new STis are awesome, they look hot and they fly.

But a 350Z would be what I'd pick if I had the dosh cos it suits me right now (the whole 2 door thing).

I haven't had the luck to drive either a WRX or 350Z though :P But I really doubt either car would be disappointing [enough to change what I think].

Some members of my club (NDSOC) went for a drive along the (wet) Great Ocean Rd recently. A passenger in a 350Z track version says he has NEVER gone so quickly along that road, and that a R32 GT-R had trouble keeping up with the 350Z (could have something to do with the drivers as well).

On a previous drive to Brisbane, a different passenger reports that to overtake, just put your foot down (in 6th gear) and go :burnout:

By all reports, the 350 is an awesome car.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      R33 fuel setup

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
