Evo 6 Vs R32 Gtr

[dirtyRS4]

IMO if you are a purely gonna track it then evo all the way.

street/track car, then yeah 32R.

[Nee-san]

I have an evo 8.

I've owned many r32 GTRs.

I would rather an r32 GTR BUT FOR:

Costly to maintain.

If the engine dies, there goes 10k.

Only things I like about the evo:

Newer.

Very zippy early on.

Oh and the interior is feral. Jeremy Clarkson said it feels like you're sitting in a bin liner, I agree.

(Evo 6 must be even more feral, so take that into account. R32 GTR interior isn't great, but it is better).

This is good advice, I've driven both and if you want a fast car, get the GT-R if you want a fire and forget sort of no nonsense daily, get the evo.

[GODZ1LLA]

Yeah deffo the evo for the track.

Gtr as a fast street car

Hi guys, again thank you very much for the advice, its much appreciated.

I picked up the evo today from melbourne and spent the whole day driving it back up to syd.... WOW what a car, honestly can see why they have such a big rep.

absolutely wrapped, all it has done to the entire car is just a cat back exhuast, apart from that it is completely stock. STOCK Suspension FTW its so forgiving for the street yet so predictable and does get down and dirty very well, so i have to so im glad i went with the evo, i dont think i'll have to spend a cent on suspension, just a few mods to get the motor unrestricted/breathing better, but even that wont be for a while, very surprised at how well the stock motor pulls, as this is the 1st time ive been able to drive an evo like my own, so really impressed. cant really compare it to the GTR as ive never been able to drive one like its my own, so no real comparison, but i can say anything extra on top of the evo is a bonus, especially seeing as i dont spend every weekend at the track, and is very streetable, was driving on parramatta road earlier, and my head wasn't hitting the roof, actually felt like a later model car, quite comfy.

Thanks again.

[IOWNU]

Sounds good mate.

The twistys await. .

[luke gtr]

Congratulations on your new purchase.

Hope you get many years of good motoring.

Start saving now, and buy a gtr as a second car down the track...

he already bought the evo..

[Deano 1]

yea but R32 R FTW

[GTR-N1]

The TME 6.5 at JapLink has now been sold $25K (without SAU Member discount of course) > Melbourne

But R32 GT-R V-Spec I is still there > SAU Member discount brings it down into the 20s

[hamiltonau]

so does the discount just bring it into line with what you would pay roughly in a private sale?

but u get the bonus of a 3 month warranty and provenance?

[GTR-N1]

Close Pat, but then I guess the warranty is factored in.

Nice to know that he honours that wty tho'

[Hot33r]

No Evo talk here boys do we own skylines or what Huss along to the Mitsubishi forum traitor skyline all the way lol

[zebra]

you mustnt have owned a skyline very long

I drove a evo 9 on a rally track one time, was one of the most amazing driving experiences of my life (not that ive had many so far ..), evo has always been one of my dream cars though

driving a rally spec one on rally tracks was freaking amazing, scared the sh** out of me though, i shat even more when the instructor took me for a hot lap after

[benm]

From a track car perspective what would an evo require to make it reliable and what would a gtr require?

We all know that the RB26 is probably the most unreliable performance engine Nissan has made due to the oil starvation issues so the gtr basically requires the engine out straight away.

I'm looking for a new track car in the not too far future and I just think that an r32 gtr is just too old these days. They are basically a 25 year old vehicle. Sure they might still be fast but mechanically they require a lot of tidying up to make it a reliable fun car.

Basically for the same price as a 13yo r34 gtr you can buy a 2yo Evo 10 which requires nothing but good brake fluid and brake pads before visiting the track.

I'd rather be doing 70sec laps at Wakefield Park for 8 events a year in an Evo 10 than doing 65sec laps for 1 event a year in an r34 gtr because the engine is being repaired for the remaining 11 months of the year.

Got further details man?

[mattyneweraimports]

i had both at the same time about 5 years ago

GTR is much more comprehensive and build quality was alot better. on the highway they go alot better.

however are very expensive as a daily driver

EV0 6 (i had the TME because the standard 6s arnt that great) but even the TME was better than the 32 imo

lighter, less on fuel (as you wuld expect), but more fun to drive around town, and far more practical.

only downside to a 6 is that they are slow on the highway and the gearbox i always found felt abit weak

oh and they do eat clutches all the time

id still go with a 6 if its your daily

[iplen]

RB26 being the most unreliable is countered by the fact they are also probably one of the most abused and hardest used. They get revved harder, they cop more Gs, they get full throttle earlier in a corner while the oil is sloshing around etc. There are plenty of solutions that do not require the engine to come out.
