If you've managed to read through all the waffle I've written above MrBlobby, My advice to you is to firstly test drive a BNR32 to see if it lives up to your expectations before selling your Evo and possibly regretting what you've done mate. So, Most people I've spoken too over the years who've had either Scoobies or Lancer Evo's, Don't like the Skyline experience as they see them as unresponsive fat whales when comparing them against the turbo four pot Subaru's/Mitsubishi's.All because they don't appreciate that you don't get the best out of a Skyline GT-R if you try to man handle it as you would a Lancer Evolution! Its not refined by any means (it is still Japanese after all.) but simplistically the Skyline is relativity more of a luxury item when compared to the manic Lancer 4/5/6 Evolutions. Our Nissan's are fun just not in the same kind of way as your Mitsubishi is. The way I try to describe to people what its like to drive an RB26 engined Skyline GT-R is to imagine a sort of heavy Japanese version of an E36 BMW M3 (lacking the German build quality obviously) which suddenly acquires some FWD assistance as you push the car well into License loosing territory! The Lancer is a lively light weight vibrating kind of grab it by the scruff and go for it hyper machine with unbelievable sure footed levels of grip available as you are doing so where as the Skyline really doesn't appreciate this point-n-squirt driving style mentality/approach. Sooooo, I've always loved the R32 GTR's and I know it was a very successful racer so with some good suspension and a few other bits it should be good on the road too.īut can anyone say what its like going from the Evo to the 32? I haven't driven one yet and am terrified it won't handle like the Evo does and once I've sold the Evo I can't get it back and the cost of making a new one would make me very depressed.!Ĭlick to expand.My best Friend Mark used to have a Tuned Evo 6 RSX (386bhp which I've Driven) and I've got a Tuned R33 GT-R and all I can tell you is that both of these vehicles are at completely opposite ends of the Japanese performance car spectrum. Plus for me to be completely happy with keeping it I would need to completely re paint and underseal the bottom of the car again (wasn't done exactly as I want it the first time) as well as the engine bay and I'd want to rebuild the engine. Mainly the fact that there is no air con and the roof scoop does very little to aid cooling! It is surprisingly comfortable on the road as the suspension can be tweaked to suit the conditions etc but with all this good weather we have been having I do not find myself wanting to get in and drive it as ill just need a shower when I get out :flame: I am aiming to sell the rally car as I do not really use it enough and for me it is too far gone to be a fun/useable road car. I have a Evo 5 that is a rally car so the chassis is very stiff with the cage and added bracing I've put in and the suspension and brakes are awesome. This is my first post and just looking to get some peoples opinions of the comparisons between the two cars.
