Evo 8mr/9 Or R34 Gtr

[ashneel]

factory.

the GTR i drove was in full factory trim with no mods done what so ever. the evo is the same.

[ashneel]

well took an evo 9 for a test drive today. have made up my mind. will be going with the GTR

drove the evo for about half an hour and it just didnt get me feeling all excited that i was driving an evo. with the GTR it was a totally different feeling. as someone posted earlier that when you drive it its like a special drive. i dunno cant explain but ye have made up my mind

GTR=WIN

Congrats on being decisive!

The value of a good R34 GT-R ain't dropping much either!

have you got your own place?

if not, buy a house and play cars later

if you have a place then go for the GTR

the GTR is more appealing, bad ass on the street and plenty cheap to go around

my pref would be with the GTR. evo has some advantages though, 4 doors and a boot is great

[GTR-N1]

...and a boot is great

Boot?

...thought 1X is square & the other is oblong...

...love rectangles myself LOL

[paulr33]

no i mean, as in, if you only have 1 car and you need to move shit around etc

the skyline is hopeless as you have 2 doors and a boot thats useless

the evo has 2 more doors and a bigger boot

so its handy if you have only 1 car and occasionnally want to move stuff around

[GTR-N1]

Tut...tut...

& here's me thinking (selfishly) only about my golf clubs hehe

Stock EVO's are boring

They stop to like 140awkw or something in the top end, designed to do it which makes them feel flat.

At least you've made your choice - i'd still argue any day $$ for $$ the EVO is a better car for mild mods, but each to their own

[mxfly]

I'm fortunate to drive all types of imports when they come into the country. Most of them are Evo 7's and 8's. 95% of them are almost stock but once in a while nice example would come through that has mods to do around 200kw. It's those times that I have a really good drive around the "block" with them.

Nope, the beauty of a 2 door is......bigger doors.... meaning you can fit more stuff through the doors...i have moved more shit in my 33...including full kenwood home stereo and cabinet , 1mtre tall cabinet and speakers...i even fit a coffeee table on the front seat..seat laid back....neither of which would have fit through sedan doors...

both great cars, but fo me it has to come down to the way it'll be modded...

i'm selling up the 33 at some point, and going for a 33r... i did think about an evo... but i just like the GTR better, it does well enough in the tight corners as compared to the evo, but i just can not live without that massive top end pull when you hit a straight, that keeps going right up until anchor time.

plus in an R i can push out a comfy 350odd rwkw and not have to worry about cops and epa's too much...

(that obviously doesn't include defects for wheels hanging out of the guards etc lol)

Once you pony up the 15g's to get there

not looking at doing much to any power mods really. plenty of high powered GTRs out there and im not interested in porung a heap of money to make it stupid quick. as posted most ill do is exhaust and suspension mods, rims and make it look as tough as Aarons Vspec. and having already owned a quickish GTT (to me) im not really looking for another high powered car. just something that is perfect out of the factory box and to me the GTR is exactly that. sure it wills till get cop attention but atleast 98% of it will be legal.

not saying the evo will be any different but ye i <3 GTR

lol ash you know i will....

You will love the GT-R.

I had a white R34 GTR with black TE37's,

tein coilovers, cat back. It was a beautiful car to look at and drive on the street.

stupidly low though! I thought i needed a 4dr so i bought an evo IX, flash tuned it,

bought a spare set of rims/semis. So i have experience with both

Nismoid is right when he says the Evo is a better track car dollar for dollar spent.

Not taking anything away from Mark Berrys amazing car though. The Evo is also alot cheaper to track than a gtr.

My GTR used to get hot very quickly, the evo on the other hand could do countless laps in qld heat.

The tyres give up before the Evo raises a sweat.

The GTR's with massive power are more fun to drive on a track than the Evo, but you need to spend the purchase price

again on mods to make them that fun. Also i have yet to see an Evo blow up on the circuit [not saying it doesnt happen]

but i have lost count of the amount of RB26's grenading themselves. That was my one concern with the 34, i always worried about it shitting

itself, the Evo i have alot more confidence in with regard to reliability.

The head should say Evo, the heart will always say GT-R!

Looks like you have gone with the Heart!

You wont regret it, but be sure to give way on the track to everyone that used their head!

Your signature says otherwise.

So get the Evo and go slower on the track?

[ssxRicho]

seriously. if you cant live with a skyline of any sort as a daily, buy a blouse and fag about in a daewoo....

gtr or evo...do you have a brother? pick one and make sure he buys the other. simple...

[paulR32gtr]

Get the Evo,, but forget the 8 or 9, just a waste of dollars really when a 7 pretty much does the same thing..............

[Duncan1]

I thought that might come up.

One is flash tuned with semi's [Evo]

The other one has Alcons, Nismo 1.5 way Diff, T04z, OS giken gearset, Ohlins coilovers,

fully forged bottom end etc. The car was putting out around 330 awkw low boost on that day with a crack in an intercooler hose and a very bad alignment. We will be using all 420awkw on the 11th of feb though and should see those times tumble!

The above 32 Gtr will decimate the almost stock Evo when its running more boost and a decent alignment, however

the cost of mods on that car alone is far more than the purchase price of an Evo IX or R34 GTR.
