Skyline or 350Z

[invisibleghost]

350z is FR or AWD?

 

[invisibleghost]

The only time I had to make this kind of decision was in Toy City pondering over Tamiya scale model cars

hahahah, very funny

 

[invisibleghost]

heheh yeah me too...but i guess, its all up to you on what do you want the car to be...

get all the positive as well as negative points on owning these both cars. They are both great to have, to take corners with, sprints, cruising, flying, in-car shagging...but its up to you at the end of the day on how you want it...or how you want people to look at you and your car.

but if i were you, this thread wouldn't even exist coz its my money, and later it will be my car, and i drive or mod it in anyway i want hehehe

pun intended of course, no hard feelings :)

what does "pun intended" means ah?? aiya me so bodoh

[BlackSamurai]

350z is FR or AWD?

IG, you never watch Tokyo Drift ar?
AWD cannot drift leh.

 

[PocketRocket]

AWD can wat....harder oni....too much traction

 

[invisibleghost]

Modified by Rhys Millen to drift, this Mitsubishi Evo lets its rear wheels do all the power sliding

Turning Mitsubishi's all-wheel-drive icon, the Lancer Evolution IX, into a drifting machine for The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift takes an act of perversion: The front wheels must be disconnected from the drivetrain to turn the Evo into a rear-wheel-driver. This is like asking Luciano Pavarotti to perform Rigoletto without any melodies or Eminem to rap without rhyming.

But moviemaking sometimes demands that a car be robbed of its talents. So using a kit developed by Rhys Millen Racing (RMR), eight of the 10 brand-new Japanese-market Evo IXs donated to the Tokyo Drift production by Mitsubishi were converted to rear-drive drift cars by replacing the differential's output assembly with one that leaves out the splines to drive the front wheels and capping the output holes in the transfer case. The stock transverse-mounted six-speed transmission is left alone, as is the rest of the drivetrain. Converting an Evo IX back to all-wheel drive should be just as straightforward.

The Tokyo Drift Evo IXs were also lowered over Eibach springs and fitted with APR's wide-body kit and those oversize fenders were filled with 19-by-8.5-inch Ray's G-Games 99B wheels and 255/35R19 Toyo Proxes T1R tires. RMR also modified the steering knuckles for additional angle and upsized the brakes with Brembo discs and calipers. The turbocharged, 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engines were left essentially stock except for the addition of an RMR exhaust system. Power is up from the stock 286 horsepower at the crank to 289.5 hp at the rear wheels, measured on a chassis dynamometer.

With its Modern Image graphics, the Mitsubishi Evo IX looked as if carved from a block of freeze-dried adrenaline: a bundle of nervous energy with four doors and a big wing. Inside, The Fast and the Furious production team replaced the stock instrument cluster with AutoMeter gauges in a carbon-fiber plate and swapped out the steering wheel for a Sparco unit with a quick-disconnect hub. The Recaro seats aren't too radically shaped, but being in this little beast is like sitting on the end of a raw nerve.

Lots of power and a mere 103.3-inch wheelbase mean this drift car wants to go sideways all the time — there may as well be windshield wipers on the door windows. So, no surprise, a rear-wheel-drive Mitsubishi Evo is tougher to launch than an all-wheel-drive one, and this one could manage the trip to 60 mph in 6.6 seconds and complete the quarter in 14.5 seconds at 103.6 mph — a slug compared to the 4.9-second 0-60 time and 13.3 seconds at 103-mph performance of the last stock U.S.-market Evo IX Inside Line tested.

For anything except drifting, the all-wheel-drive Lancer Evolution IX is a better machine. In fact, it's an all-time great.

in short, they stripe Mitsu famous ACD and AYD system, replace it to make it driftable.
Else stock Evo can't drift.
but i dun think IG is referring to this.

w/o ayc n acd, evo is jz a normal car

i dun mind getting a 350Z but where can i go to get the twin turbo unit? and who can fit it in for me? i dun wan to go to N1.. most of my frens ride dun by N1 always get broken into to steal their defi and meters.. even hidden ones they know.. so i think got som syndicate..

 

[barney]

the auto gearbox can stand TT,unless u get a 6spd manual.

 

[mafia_boyz]

i dun think the whole gear box unit especially the cluth and cluth plate can handle the amount of stress from a twin turbo unit... definately won;t haddle is i decide to go to sepang... would just blow the tranny... i much prefer manual... that's why a skyline would not bother me at all...

 

[Fluffy]

since you can afford a 350Z, stillen has a wide range of upgrades specially for you 350Z.

 

[thteh86]

a good sportcar should be powerful, lightweight, shoudl have good handling plus neccesary torque and horsepower...But honestly, I dun see these 2 cars fall in that category.

But it does look good though, I'd prefer a GTR anytime over a 350z, a playful car with lotsa things to toy with.

 

[kher]

Other than lightweight i dun think GTR n 350Z not powerful, no good handling, no enuff torque and horsepower for a stock car....
350Z is stil new anyway..The aftermarket companies need some time to research n make parts.

Too new=parts not out yet.
Too old=parts won come out anymore.

Do u agree guys???

 

[thteh86]

yeap, I was refering to the weight of the car

Look for Quarter-Mile...... Quite pricey but it's tuned by Auto-Select..... I bet N1 will sell the kit at a freaking high price too (maybe higher to Quarter-Mile's price) with lousy tuning....... My fren bought a greddy trubo kit from N1, which is 4k more than i get from Amoil...
