There's not been any details released as yet. I've already added the rear diffuser to my order, so out of that list I think I'd add the 'Front Under Spoiler'/front diffuser, 'Side Under Spoiler'/side skirts, and 'boot lip spoiler' as they become available. I love factory parts. Wheels, coilovers and braces I'll go aftermarket.

I see!

The subtle factory add on kits usually look quite good.

And yeah, Wheels / Suspension / Strut Brace go aftermarket.

i wont be buying an 8MR.. no chance ill afford one lol

this is my dilemma... VIII's go from 20k and VIII MR's from 30k.

EOTD i'll probably go an VIII with an IX or VIII MR turbo already in it

only thing i'm thinking is that the MR may hold it's price better? i dunno

Can I also be there for joy ride pls

alright, probably tonight or tomorrow night good for you?

Toby, take me for a spin while you have it, pretty please?

Happy to take whoever on a spin, maybe tomorrow night.Not till late though don't normally finish up dinner till after 8:30. If its a few guys prefer it on the weekend.

Yup definately holding its price. My brother got his for about $35k five years ago. And its still in really good condition

And if 8MR's are still 30K plus its held up really well

Some sub-30K IX's as well from memory, last time I checked carsales...

the only difference between them is the alloy roof and turbo i think.. so kind of pointless to get an MR when you could probably get a turbo out of one for cheap..

im even considering a seven! i think the bodykits on the seven are heaps better.. and i really dont wanna mod it too much.

If you plan on modifying then no point getting an 8mr only advantage it has is an alloy roof and not paying $10k for that

$10K for an alloy roof?

What's the roof made of on the non MR Edition?

IX turbo, lower intercooler pipes, injectors, ebc, tune... 230 awkw done

coilovers rims etc... obviously

yeh, same as my thought..

7's are apparently good up to 245kw

so im thinkin of e85.. just a tad safer.

lead

BOV, gear-knob and seats are also different... ;)

8MR has no value over an 8 for a street / track car. Spend $10k on mods for an 8.

The 6 Speed box on the > VIII models eats the VII 5 Speed is the only consideration. The gearing is far far better.

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