will be in the market soon for one of these cars. The only problem is i cant find many evos out there for sale. I've tried carpoint, drive,etc .... can u guys recomment other websites?

Anyways, I've looked into both cars, just wanted u guys opinions on both...

kind leaning towards the evo cos its so rare in Australia, plus constant awd, 4 door ,etc ...I can make those wrx's drivers jealous :P ( we all know wrx drivers want evos deep down) ;)

wat u guys think ?

If i had a family and i still wanted a fast-4 pocket-rocket definately the Evo-6(the only last true Evo IMHO) gets my vote.....4doors too;)

but right now i'm leaning towards the R33 GT-R....not sure about making WRX drivers jealous or not...but i'm sure it'll be able to keep up with the best of them:D

Personaly I would go for the EVO 6, I love the Skylines especially the GTR's but I have a family and trying to get a good family sports car (4 Door) is a bit harder to chose.

EVO 6 or R34 GT-T Sedan is what I would be looking at.

The reason you don't see many evo's around is they don't represent very good value.

The Evo has wind up, wind down windows for example.

It's also a pretty uncomfortable ride.. the only thing you pay for, the only thing you get.. is the 0-100 and 0-400 times and the driving experience. The GTR gives you that as well as stuff like .. *gasp* air conditioning, power windows and those kind of features.

Also I don't really feel justified paying 60k+ for a 4 cylinder turbo car.

I'd take the R33 GTR.. get a later model vspec.

As Rezz said, various evos comes in various configurations (RS (?), GSR, tommi makinen, GTA, etc) - If you find one, it'll probably be the 'base' model which has all the normal goodies.

The interior is a bit bland - but then again, the 33 interior isn't exactly inspiring either.

There is an evo vi for sale on performance forums right now (check it out when the site is back up)

i absolutely love everything about the evos... looks (pre-evo7 models that is.... i don't know what they are thinking these days...) , performance, etcetc...

one thing that stopped me buying an evo over gtr was, at the end of the day they are just very fast lancers...

the evo like the gtr sit very well on the road, ride wise they are stiffer than ny other car but thats wat u get when u want a "sports" car, i'd get the TME evo 6, GSR, titanuim twin scroll turbo mmmmmmmmm

i dig the interiors, they equiped with recaros and are very functional!

but yeah jus my 2c.....

Given that the 350Z is a 2 seater only, I don't think thats very good advice mate.

Probably should learn a bit more about a car before you recommend it :D

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
