Oh siet, congrats you've moved from 80s tech to 00s tech.

You've seen the light, all us RB owners are still blinded by darkness.

(Better go mafless flex setup on stock ecu so you can run dose pipe, yes for the haters stock E9 ecu does flex, mafless, has launch and anti lag)

I really struggled to not buy an EvoX when I was buying the R, such a good package.

I think plenty of us realise the Evo is a better platform in many ways, but there is something special about a GTR still. Yea i realise that's subjective also, for me it was almost purely looks.

Thay said, I am toying with the idea of ditching my Silvia for an Evo track car...

Anyway, this car is going to be awesome.

Cbf scrolling back, when were you tracking it again?

Also I didn't realise a stock Evo ecu did flex, that's amazing.

You can't deny EVOs are light years ahead of the R32/33/34 in terms of performance.

They thought of twin scroll back in mid 90s, where as Nissan continued to use twin turbos which have been proven over and over again how inefficient it can be, imagine if Nissan ever released a factory twin scroll single turbo GT-R.

Because Nissan loves their open scroll turbos in twin forms so much they avoided the obvious twin scroll solution and made the VR38DETT motor LOL

Now that Nissan partially owns Mitsubishi.. I wonder if there will ever be an Evolution Skyline LOL

I don't think you can shit can an entire engine because of the turbos it uses.

I don't think any of us are under any illusions that there's much newer/better tech.

Had I went with my head, I'd have bought an Evo/M3 or a 35 maybe.

I think many of us buy older GT-Rs because the little boy inside us hasn't grown up yet.

I like Evo's, but I don't get a mental boner when I look at them, even a nicely done one. I still grin like an autistic kid when I pull the cover of my 34.

Who cares though, This thread is all about Evo 9 now, more boost plz :D

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
