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

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
