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

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
