Gtr 33 Or Evo 7 Or Etc Etc Etc

[Adz2332]

Hey all,

Im in the middle of selling my skyline and my corvette. ( see for sale section )

With the skyline money im hoping to add to my house deposit money. But with the sale of my corvette im not going to go lower than $27500.... And thats what ill be spending on my new car...

Have weighed up some options and so far ive come up with these 5... In order of what im thinking of...

1. GTR 33

2. EVO 7

3. STI WRX

4. 3000 GT (hard to come by i know.)

5. GTR 32

Ive loved my series 2 r33 skyline so im defiantly still after a turbo car.

Im after quicks and handeling so a 4wd i think is the way to go...

Im looking for a car that can handle the 300kws easily without and worries of blowing the engine as i would have done in my gtst.

Looking to make a scary quick road car is what im after and that can handle the turns also...

and looks aint that important to me also...

What would you choose? Have i missed any cars i should take into consideration?? anyone driven any of the above cars? Impressions etc etc...

i'd go a 33 R!!!!!

The 3000gt will get you to that power the easiest and cheapest, but that car is a pig, at just under 4000 pounds I would look elsewhere.

The Evo and the Sti are both great but I'm not a fan of fulltime 4wd, as well the sti has trouble keeping transfer cases at those power levels.

I mean your on a skyline board and I am a little biased, but to me the choice is either R32 or R33 GTR, the 33 being newer, but a little heavier.

You could debate all you want about which model R32,R33,R34 is best but in the end preference and budget come into play.

Good luck on which ever you choose.

haha i was expecting some biased ideas for sure lol!

wow i didnt relise the 3000 was so bulky! damn!

i reali am leaning towards the 33gtr cos of how new it is or the evo....

have to take them both for a spin i guess

[R34 GTT]

i would go either the 32 or 33 GTR "love skylines toooo much"

[silva33]

Id go the R33 GTR..

I had a mint GTO with 272 awkw and I loved it, it was a monster on the street but I sold it as it is not a very practical car and was quite expensive to maintain and wont take the punishment that the GTR would.

ahh cool thanks for that info...

any one had or driven an evo 7?

[TommO]

I've owned an Evo 8 MR and a R33 GTR.

Evo is very fast but the GTR is much more fun to drive whilst still being fast, and shitloads easier to get power out of it.. esp if you want a quick straight line car. Have a read of this thread, as I did a big reply about Evo vs GTR... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ev...tr-t190951.html

I would go the 33 as it's a bit newer...

Lol... 3000gt cheap... maybe in Toronto... Over here there's buckley's chance of tuning a 3000gt cheap. 33 GTR all the way. Cheap as chips and everyone's got parts for them.

From your descriptions of what you want there's two options

32 GTR Vspec or 33 GTR (either vspec or not)

Pick which one you like the look of.

After that start replacing everything. Both are at the age where modding the engine too much may blow it. Get a new engine and certainly new turbo's.

Get new suspension, either car is 10+years old and will be a bit saggy.

Probably need new front disks

New clutch.

Get this thing http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Gt...40&start=40. It makes such a difference.

does anyone know what a evo 7 can handle as far as pushing some more kws throught it? also same with th gtr 33

[Adz2332]

tough huh!

[TTT]

300awkw and 2L don't go too well IMO.

Yes it can be done but it's asking a fair bit of the old EVO.

and it kinda defeats the purpose of the EVO too..

if you want that sort of power, stick to the GTR's.

If I were you, I'd be buying a REBUILT R32 GTR with all the fruit required for 300 jiggawatts that you are after.

I don't think that the R33 GTR with a rebuilt engine and the required turbos and mods for 300kw are under $30K yet.

R32's are.

for $27K that you have, you'd find one that has been well sorted and all the usual 15 year old faults fixed.

If you want big power and fast numbers, a GTR is easier (esp power). It handles having that much power really nicely, and is still daily driveable etc.

If you want to go to a circuit and decimate all (mainly a tight circuit like Wakefield), the Evo is perfect... but it'll struggle to handle the 300kw you want. It'll take a rebuilt motor to get there, whereas an RB26 can do it stock. Let alone the driveline issues you might run into on the Evo...

i just want a car to have great accelaeration ( cant spell!)

handle more than excellent...

and just feel fast!

[TTT]

Both those cars will do it.

TommO - how much did the EV0 weigh?

I think your whale weighs around 1550kg yeah?

[KISIN]

for your situation 33 is the best

in your budget

can easily make 300kw

can have 4wd/2wd

newer then 32 (der )

Evo was 1470... and yeah I think that's about right for my whale

Not really that much in the scheme of things.. R33 feels a lot "firmer" when cruising around though, the Evo just wants to go fast and nothing else...

Interesting..

please explain..

Sounds horrible

It is.... they're crap dailys.
