simple as this really, would you consider a 32 gtr a supercar? no. whats so different about the 35 that makes it so super? essentially the same platform with modern features.

can you stroll into your local Lamborghini dealership and buy an aventador off the showroom floor? no, but you can walk into a nissan dealership and buy a fancy new skyline. and chances are you don't even have a local lambo dealer anyway.

lol essentially the same platform with modern features.

Half of the "supercars" you buy ATM don't even have a funky transmission.

GTR isn't classes as a supercar simply because of the price tag.

If they tagged them at 250-300k, everyone would call them that.

And no - you couldnt walk in and buy one off the showroom floor initially either. They were pre-order for a long time.

But where do you draw the line / price bracket to define it this way? That sounds more like the definition of an exotic than a supercar.

Agree with Jamie & Hamish. I think the stigma of Nissan being a family car producer gets in the way of people thinking the R35 is a supercar. If it was the only car that Nissan produced, people would certainly think of them as a supercar manufacturer. Being that there's only one R35, it's 180k and it's bloody fast, I consider it a supercar.

Though going by the supercars.net definition, every car is a supercar lol.

Also don't forget cars over here are HEAVILY inflated price wise due to dealership rorts and LCT.

You can could purchase new in Europe and import yourself - even factoring in taxes etc, for significantly less.

I'd say at the least 20%, saving yourself 100k on a 500k car.

Moh, I see you lurking!

You ask me to be regular on S/W and Y U NO POST?

Been a crazy busy week nigga.

Working 8-5 and then till late on the 32.

So happy it's actually a clean car. Less work.

Got an XR6 turbo in at work getting a 6 speed put in it...the kid mentioned that it occasionally stalls. Pop bonnet - induction straight off the turbo, no pod filter, nothing.

Hmmm, hearing from a lot of people that I'll get bored with a 250 Ninja real fast....

Don't wanna go straight to a big bike but don't want to buy something that I'm aiming to keep for ~12 months if I'll be over it in 3 weeks

Also don't really wanna spend more $ on something like a 650 LAMS Ninja when I'm just gonna be upgrading in a year either...

Might just have to settle for the slowness of a 250 Ninja, ride it for a year then step up to a negro gixxer 750

does it dose? fundamentally thats whats important.

Yes it does and, these XR6 are much laggier than I thought they would be...kind of ordinary at least on stock boost...when you look at the size of the turbo though :/

why would you get bored of a 250 are you really that obsessed with speed?

sure i'd prefer 600+ but it's purely for cosmetics/frame size. most 250s look meh and are small

had a close up look at a megeli 250r they are tiniy :/ and gay wheels

and how long does it take vicroads to mail me my fkn license

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
