you dont have to go the MR

the main differences are

price

mr badging

titanium exhaust wheel

ecu tune

6 speed

probably other carbon shit

depending on price diff between MR and non MR

i found non MR 6 speeds in evo 8 as well

And you forgot the main part. It's lighter due to an aluminum roof.

I was at Geebung early in the night last night. Great place to meet barely legal loose moralled girls.

Interesting, I was around from 5 til about 9:30. And yeah, considering what else is available on a Sunday during the day, there's not much else I'd rather spend my Sunday at. Very early work on Monday friendly "night out" :)

i thought all evo 8's were 6 speed? the other differences are pointless. the only thing i dont like is everyone says there turning circle is really shit.

But evo is slower than your 34 GTR :P

it wont take much to make it quicker than a gtr. but im sure ill be back in a gtr again one day.

I wouldn't worry about that, I mean how often do you need to do a proper u-turn anyway? If you're really in a hurry, rip the handbrake ;)

all 8s are 6speeds

MR;s have alloy roof

bunch of extra carbon parts, like vortex generator, whole rear spoiler in carbon etc

have factory fitted bilstein struts which are awesome for stock struts, cars that arnt fitted with them use them as a cheap upgrade

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
