Why are new cars so stereo typical?? Commodore vs Falcon and now Ferrari and Nissan..........

Whatever happenned to the days when you new it was a Chev/kingswood/Falcon/mustang/nissan/valiant/mitsubishi/pontiac/toyota. You couldn't get the cars - or the models [torana, cortina etc] confused even if you had myopic vision.

The modern car is designed around a jellybean>>>>one shape but any colour you want!!

hmm, perhaps if people appreciated cars in general more, then they would be able to easily pick the distinctive individual lines of both the ferrari and the nissan here.. i think the comparison is like comparing two cars from the 70's.. simerlar styling, sameish shape, but they have their own individual traits..

i think the ferrari design is awesome, looks 10 times better than the GTR.

i dont belive either company 'copied'...its just similar design trends.

Agreed, I like the new GTR, but next to that ferarri it just looks average.

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
