Horn bit of gear, but a 70k lancer will always make me giggle.

Get in a 9 with 250awkw and you'll be giggling alright

Considering it takes less than 5k to get to that point, pretty tasty :P

For 70k, they are a LOT of car if you can see past the plastic dash.

The X might not be that good though. See how it goes

I was hot for it. then it got delayed and delayed some more, then the price

went up (despite the aussie dollar strength) and now paying so much more

than they charged for the 9 to get an X seems silly. Especially when you can

pickup an evo 9 from a kid who has lost his license for less than 40k with

nothing on the odo and probably coilovers and a boost controller.

Or you can get an 8MR, which is faster out of the box, for 30k imported..

car magazine put the evo x against the new sti, and the sti won .. but then

it said the shame is they would both have lost against an evo 9, they have

both become too soft and lost their focus.

I will admit it does look alot tougher than i remember.

And i work for subaru....but if you put the Evo X (or in fact probably any evo) next to the new WRX/STI and it would scare the oil out of it.

oh and yeah definitely looks evil in black :whistling:

Yeah they are hard to beat bang for buck off the new car showroom floor.

Not to mention the added value of a free cardigan on puchase :)

I wish they'd re-bodied it so it's a bit more removed from the nana mobile, but that'd probably push it to a 90k car.

Then you have the advantage of a sleeper-stealth type style. I'm torn with evo's always have been.

A mate had an mhe 7 or was it a 6, one of the best drivers cars I've steered with out a doubt.

      Rv37 400r questions

      By elir32 · Posted

      Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance

      Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened.

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By NZ-GTT · Posted

      I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
