I have driven a 350z and and an r34 gtr. The 350z does not impress anyone more, trust me.

My point is, why do Jap car manufactureres make european styled cars to have to sell more cars? I thought they where all ready doing pretty good making jap styled cars.

Not trying to be smart with this question but what defines a Jap-styled car (as opposed to Euro styled)?

I think the styling of cars went downhill after the KA laser. I mean whats with the KB? Those front lights just look all soft, as if the owner is a little old lady using a cheap, economical shopping trolley of a car to get the milk and bread from the corner store instead of the sporty, high performance car the KA was.

I'll agree the supras are looking a little dated, but I dont think very many cars look good from factory ... Add a mild bodykit, some lowering and a set of nice wheels and the supra is very tops. More so than most cars with the same mods I guess is what I'm trying to say. Urgh, personal taste I guess.

Also the new minis are damn fat (not phat) compared to the old minis. I saw one parked next to an old mini about a week ago and you dont realise just how huge the new minis are until you see them next to an old mini. Like literally double the size (note: hyperbole).

Anyway, even I dont know what point I was trying to make when I started typing this.

supra may be looking a little dated, it still manages to turn so many heads though. They still look a helluva lot better than a lot of cars on the road that you see everyday.

The KA laser was the end of the ultra high performance laser range. They went mainstream with the KB. Nothing beats the pushed-into-the-back-of-your-seat demon acceleration of the KA, dont even get me started on the torque of those cars.............. lol ;)

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
