for 70k I can think of a few cars I would rather have over a 20 year old GTR

Eg Brand new FPV F6 = 60k drive away + 10k in mods = GTR left behind

lol your drunk arnt ya, you reckon you could have 70k worth of gtr and a New FPV would leave it behide..... mate your off your head, i paid 20k for my nismo edition, if i spent 50k on it, there wouldnt be anything sub 500k that would have a chance on leaving it behide, in street trim a gtr with the right mods and abit of money spent, is the ultimate street car, the motive DVD drag challenge prove's it time and time again, 50k on a gtr will get you well into the 10sec mark, and theres not many FPV or HSV that will run those times in street trim, i mean 18inch wheels nice sounds system, the lot.

i raced a FPV F6 with a exhaust and a chiped ecu, and ate it up with my baby 300rwkw.... i would have blowin his windows out with 400-450kw..... think about it

ok...A mate of mine has a BA XR6 Turbo ute...paid 20k for it...injectors tune and drag radials it ran a 10.9 and makes 380 odd rwkws...do that with a R32 GTR and you will be picking bit of main bearing from your teeth lol

and yeah...I may have had a few brews

Just like people go on and on about how good R35s are....I still hate the f**king things

I have mixed feelings on those actually, when it first came out i hated it

its starting to grow on me though

i wonder what car I'd get for R35 money ... tongue.gif

oh and a V8 turbo cortina.... dude that would be lucky to have powersteering let alone, climate control A/c and a decent sterio... we are taking about street cars, cars you can get into and drive from NSW to QLD comfortably. Not drag cars with bodged up pink slips that they got from there mate down the road, a number plate, and to run any time worth taking about they need front runners and a Drag tyres be it radials or slicks....

LOL at some of the comments in the this thread...

Firstly i'd like to say that there are few differences between a JDM 6 and JDM 6.5, there is more difference between a ADM 6.5 though... but still negligible differences unless your using it on the track for its entire life.

After driving the evo around, ive done about 2,000k's or so... i have to say i love it even more.

its faults are that it feels very delicate, you have to be finesse with it, take the right line or its just not that great... having said that, as soon as you do take the right line, throw the weight the right way, it feels like its on rails, absolutely love the thing, although i have to say im still learning how to drive the damn thing, you can easily see why there a favourable car to have on the track.

turning circle is crap, which you really only notice doing u-turns as i believe they have tight steering ratios to compensate for this, as it definitely feels that way.

its a 35litre fuel tank, which sucks if you go for long drives, which luckily i dont, in saying that its tight gear ratios means you really shouldnt be driving this car all that much on freeways anyway. but its good having it so small i suppose if your a poorpa like me 30$ and your over half way :D also means fuel doesnt have that much space to splash around in for when your fangin it.

it comes with awesome features which you really wouldnt expect on a street car but because of WRC regs so tight which meant production cars had to be so similar... = evo's are awesome.

fuel tank is outside/under the boot, awesome for stripped interior, shit for when you have to change the fuel pump.

no filler neck restrictor, so its easier to fill petrol.

cabin is very practical... plus so much more little things, plus things im still yet to notice, as im sure there's more but i cant think of now off the top of my head.

Thats all i can really remember to report on for now... would recommend an evo 6 for anyone thats looking for a really well rounded sports car with this amount of money to spend, only if you dont like bashing your cars, and can adjust your driving style.

cheers.

    • When I need something else to edit, I use Movavi. A friend who does video editing on a daily basis recommended me) it's an easy video cutter to use for beginners
    • I need to edit some videos for work but I'm not good at all this. Which video editor can you recommend?
    • I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.
    • Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA
    • But I think you missed mine.. there is also nothing about the 98 spec that supports your claim..  according to the fuel standards, it can be identical to 95, just very slightly higher octane number. But the ulp vs pulp fuel regulations go show 95 (or 98), is not just 91 with some additives. any claim of ‘refined by the better refineries’ or ‘higher quality fuel’ is just hearsay.  I have never seen anything to back up such claims other than ‘my mate used to work for a fuel station’, or ‘drove a fuel delivery truck’, or ‘my mechanic says’.. the actual energy densities do slightly vary between the 3 grades of fuel, but the difference is very minor. That said, I am very happy to be proven wrong if anyone has some hard evidence..
