Why? What's wrong with that at all? What's wrong with someone wanting to make their car look nice?

Ever thought some people *Might* (and this may be hard to accept) like these cars as a collectors item over a track pig? And being a collectors item, people want the parts to match.

Just because you don't think they suit what you want doesn't make them shit.

There is no such thing as a valuable collectors car that has been modified.

Rightttt because *you* don't see value or want it that makes it shit.

#greatlogic

yes because brands like arc, ikea, or even a lot of Other companies around the world make a better product for the same or less money

I completely disagree, there's a tasteful way to modify a car. Especially when you make performance increases and see no mods at all except maybe exhaust. Edited by mr skidz

Tell that to the Nismo edition R32's.

That's why the nismo gear is so popular. It's effectively OEM. Why do you think the nismo keys go for 2k+?

Edit: will also point out that some people (again *gasp*) build and collect said car for themselves and not other people?

or just have smarter priorities in life

Or some people are better with money/earn more and decide that's what they want to do.

Just because they like to spend some money on things like nismo parts doesn't mean they don't have good priorities jesus christ

Not everyone earns the same amount of cash.

Man did you hear people spend $5+ million on cars. Where are their priorities? Oh wait they have the spare cash.....

NIsmo R32 = Factory car

Standard run of the mill GTR with Nismo bits = modified

When it comes to collector cars it's all about the build plate

Yes people spend 5 mil on a car....and those people are idiots

Then you realize them spending $5 mil on a car is less of a % of their income than you buying a skyline worth 10k

Who is the idiot? Apples and oranges mate.

I love how everyone in here automatically assumes that because people think nismo is over priced standard parts that they have no money lol

They have to feel better about spending 2k on a 1200 buck intercooler lol

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
