Evolution 5 Or R32 Gtr ?

[juicyness]

hello,

I'm new here and i am looking for either a evo 5 or a r32 gtr as a track car.

I dont know much about the cars itself, but i do know that the gtr is inline 6 running twin turbos and the evos running a inline 4 turbo.

would appreciate some opinions on these two cars

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

Two totally different cars designed for 2 different type of motor sports.

GTR = Circuit

EVO = Rally

Both have different characteristics.

Best to test drive both and see what you think.

I have only driven an EVO 6.5 TME and was a fun car.

GTR has more pulling power at the top end due it being a 2.6lt inline 6 twin turbo vs 2lt inline 4 turbo.

All depends on what you like, as both cars are good in their own respects and modifications can be endless for both, depending on how big your wallet is...

[R31Nismoid]

Depends on the usual 100 variables.

What track, what level of mods, whats the budget blah blah blah.

Your question is about as vague as an arts student.

More information = better responses.

That said, buy a EVO 6 and forget about the GTR.

[juicyness]

most likely use it on the circuttt. But i love both cars, they are both amazing cars.

Welll my budget is 18,000 and below.

I've seen a few gtrs and evos going for that price and under.

Probs spend another 5,000 on mods. but its also gonna be both track/daily drive and comfortable ride

soo its more of a weekend type of car just to have fun with.

I like the gtr but its 5 years younger then the evo soo im still not sure

I'm sort of new with this stuff soo im not really sure about mods

[r32-25t]

For reliability sake buy the evo

As much as I love my Gtr, to make it reliable enough to use on the track would cost a fortune

[Bunta]

Im starting to realise my GTR is a pretty crap street car and am thinking i should have bought an EVO on the track I would give a slight advantage to the GTR but there would be little in it

Spend $23k then and get a decent example rather than a clapped out one for 18k.

You'll probably get a few mods that way as well.

[juicyness]

Well its hard to decide cause they are both great cars.

But its such a hard decision but if i spend 23k i could get a evo 7/ or 8 for that then.

The GTR is older but is powerful and still catches my eyes but theres something about the evo that makes me like them alot

im still unsure about which one to get

[R31Nismoid]

Powerful but heavy, older and has inherrant risks.

To track a GTR you basically want to change turbos - you wont see much change outta 7k to do that and get all the supporting mods.

EVO's outta the box are a good little car, a nicely modded EVO6 would be a good base. Depends on the circuits etc however.

[Mandingo]

+1 For Evo. Properly set-up, they shred.

GTR + cheap just doesnt economically work, especially in a 32 which should have oil pump, sump and shit done before it goes near a track.

[typevu]

With a budget of $18k buy an S13 Silvia or R32 GTST... then you'll have money left to fix it up, mod it to your driving style or money to fix shit thats gonna break out on the race track.

[Birds]

If it's purely a track car then import a non-compliable one, it'll be much cheaper than a road going example. And I'd head down the path of a 90's RX7 too.

[bozodos]

yeah but if he buys an RX7 then the apex seals have to come out

hmm yeah if you don't plan to ever register it, consider looking at some track only import cars. the process is a bit more stringent to import one though!

[Willis]

He said that he want's it to be his daily drive.. so i presume he wants to be able to have it registered. Unless he's an epic badass and enjoy's doing non-rego'd driving

I'd suggest the evo perhaps, i recently bought a 17k gtr and so far have spent 3k just trying to get it to go around courners properly.. damn HICAS + old suspension bits..

[SECURITY]

how much money do you have to spend on it? that will be the deciding factor.

the possibilities are almost endless with the GTR. the EVO is a great car but you are limited by the displacement of their motors. i dont think much else could fit into it.

the GTR on the other hand has had a lot of R&D..... rb30, turbo setups, handling, .. the list goes on and on. and you've always got the option to go RWD when you feel like it.

im currently tossing up between the evo 9/10 and the r34 GTR. it took me around 10 seconds to decide on the GTR for the reasons above.

This. An S13 with 10-15k of development in it will be faster and more fun than a stockish Evo 5 or R32 GTR.

mmm like previous comments, buying those older cars for even an occasional track purpose is like having a time bomb.

first up even if the engines are still okay, and holds up, you will need new set of rotors/pads almost straightway after hitting the track. then tyres, fluids, cooling systems etc etc. gets a bit more expensive then you may think

Honestly all that stuff comes under consumables, and you budget for that regardless of if you buy an old car or a new one. Motorsport is never cheap.

There are just as many if not more bullshit fast Evos getting around on race tracks. The 2 litre capacity should'nt be a problem really. Plenty of the evos are making 400-500hp and you can get em down to around 1000kg.

evo 8 ve lambo murcielago

That's the fq400 though, hotted up by british engineers. But, that said, it's a tried and tested template for upgrade that's actually sold somewhere in the world.
