You simply can not compare apples with oranges, it defies & contradicts with Murphys Laws no matter which along you look at it from.

Mustang has a prolonged history, it has become a cult car that is well known for its sheer power, grunt & muscle car statues. Mustang is a car that can retain and over periods raises its value once it becomes a classic. On the other hand, GTR's are handed over to toy boy racers and raped over with fiber glass add ons by 20yr old kids..

first of all the base model Mustang is a 6 not an 8 (as it was when they first came out)... and the Mustang was originally known as a girls car, cheap and good looking (not particularily fast) a hairdressers car of the time if you like... and they built a buttload of them... not very well either, they were very cheap

it wasn't until Carol Shelby chucked a big 8 in and whacked a bodykit on it that it got any sort of muscle car credibility... just like the GTR was created from the base model Skyline... a souped up family car if you will, just like the Mustang...

so an old 60's or 70's GTR isn't a sought after classic? haven't raised in value over time?

Precisely.. then again, it was you who was comparing both wasn't it?

I think it's fair to say GTR's will be dumped away to the scrap yard without any value or significance where as a Mustang will be stored away to be refurbished within 30 years time.. One will always been viewed as a Japanese car and the latter will continue to retain its cult car status

you can't be serious... you would cringe at the price many old school GTR's command today... let alone a modern GTR with a racing pedigree like the Aussie GMS cars... $$$ right there

There won't be any Mustangs around in 30 years... they will have all rusted hehe

Don't hate 'em.. as a enlightened individual i appreciate all cars of all spectrum, it doesn't worry me where it originates or who makes it. End of the day, i too have a "jap crap" :(

lolz ic fair enough :D

LOL its cool buddy, calm down.

I didnt say anything negative about the Mustang, I was just refering to the Yanks how they praise it and guess kinda got side tracked about GTR vs Mustang. Pretty much intierly different cars.

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
