What...I have nothing to do with Justin converting, but he will be once he takes a ride after I get the Evo back from the tune.

People should not see the Evo as a GT-R competitor as both cars are obviously different i.e. engine capacity is different and practical space etc...even though the Evo smacks the GT-R silly around the track. The Evo should be seen as the GT-R if it were built with a 2000cc 4cyl engine. The Evo makes alot of sense for people who don't need a big 6 or feel the need to for hugh horsepower. The 4G63 is much older than the RB26 and it's still being used, internals are tough as nails and if ever the need to make hugh horsepower she's very capable.

From the buyers point of view, the best bang for buck! Justin knows how much I've spent on the car, almost nothing as all the parts on the Evo are rated over 400ps...with stock turbo and injectors, just add boost = 410ps+. The Evo7 4G63 pushes the unopen block limit to 500ps. Again stock as a rock!...slap on a GT3037 and add boost, just under 500ps! Not to mention the factory turbo TD05 will handle 1.7 bars and not shatter :D and who gives you a 9sec factory gearbox :D.

One thing I will say against the Evo's are their FF bias... tendency to understeer etc.

Troy's already quietly shat himself twice :D while I had the tail out in the R32... the 4WD kinda desensitizes you to tail out shenanigans.

I'd definately set an Evo up like a FF circuit racer ie: replace the rear sus with iron bars and dump the front and jack the tail end up sky high.

E-W are always FF bias...and dare I say it's where the Evo holds it's advantage. Along with the 4WD and AYC she rides on rails.

Most cars are setup to understeer, it is generally consider easier to correct than oversteer. By instinct your reaction under slide is to lift off the throttle and hit the brakes, which will transfer weight to the front end and increase traction there. Thus helps recover and correct understeer. The same thing in an oversteering car will usually make the situation worse by unloading the rear tires and further reducing their traction.

She's on the dyno tomorrow for her last tune before the journey home. My tuner is sad to see her leave. I told him I'm more than happy to have him fly over to tune her, as I don't know how good the HKS Aust tuners are. As I said unopen motor, stock cams, std injectors, std turbo hope she makes 220-230awkw with the new HKS SA CPU, the old F-Con V was too restrictive.

Justin you coming tomorrow?
