You can get either the Lambo or the Fezza in 6sp manual, but over 80% of buyers opt to spend an extra $20k+ to get the paddle op semi-auto 'box.

350Z's got heaps of aftermarket support... RX-8's not so much, but there's progress on the renesis front.

rumour has it mines is already working on some aftermaket goodies, and impul on a luxury package to complement it as well.

yeah i just got my first shipment of BLITZ supercharger kits (selectable on/off switching too :) ) and they are sweet, the rx8 turbo kit has been a steady mover over the last few months also....

the 350z kit is sweet and due any day for rhd release (atm only lhd) and the 4.5liter stoker kit is nearly finished also.

but why would u want a 6pd as opposed to paddle flappers? seriously? do people think they can change faster then 0.2 seconds and as smoothly? or is it the fanboy thing to want cause all real drivers use them?

i could understand if it came with a farkin 3 speed auto out of a VL ffs.

So now your a homo/fan boy for loving to drive the old skool manual ?

I bagged out the new GTR because it *might* not have the 5/6 speed and it wasn't for either of the reasons you listed.

i know id rather have the DSG

Have you ever driven a car with DSG ?

2 Years aye? i may be able to afford one by then.

For christ sakes what is wrong with all you people not being able to accept change and technological advancements, its a farken supercar! built to do be exactly that! if it needed a manual gearbox to be a supercar it would have one. You people are trying to tell a car manufacturer with billions of dollars worth of r n d and expertise in building cars how to do there job better??

well- the new GT-R could be a lot lighter for a 6 cylinder car

but then, of course, it would have to use more exotic materials in its construction and therefore cost more

"The target is Porsche and other high-end buyers with a free 100k to spend on cars"

Nissan is trying to make a new coveted car by pricing it out of the enthusiasts range. This car has no name with people over 35 or anywhere the vehicle has never been sold. Do you really think a large number of doctors, lawyers and other rich individuals that can afford to purchase BMW, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche will jump on the Nissan bandwagon?

Look at all the clowns that ride ridiculously priced Harley Davidson's when Japan makes bikes that are light years ahead. They are elitists that feel their machines are "real" motorcycles due to the history, pedigree and price.

My reply was towards WazR32GTSt (with no disrespect intended).

My paradigm is American, maybe that's why I'm jaded. Motorex screwed up importation for us.

I lived in California for 3 years, 45 minutes north of Los Angeles. I saw many a rich puke in the Santa Monica Mountains with cars well above double the price of truly a exotic JDM gray market import. Some of them thought they could drive them too.

Seriously; if a person was able to afford a European sports car I don't think he'll floss the strip in the new Nissan GT-R. That crowd will still buy the Euro because people will recognize it and the babes will flock.

this isnt a euro car forum, mate.

Whether or not the "rich" among any of us decide to buy the GTR, is irrelevant. This discussion is about how good the GTR is.

the gtr has engraved itself among all car enthusiasts. They may not want to buy it for whatever reason, but there is no doubt they acknowledge that it is a car made for serious performance.

    • Time for millspec wiring, MoTec electronics package, Bosch Motorsport ABS, let's goooooooo!!!   Maybe as @MBS206 suggested, just swap out those stupid blue relays near the ECU plug.  
    • My only regret with the NC MX5 was no space for a spare, even a space saver doesn't fit in I do have a couple of those puncture repair spray cans, but if I get a large puncture, or sidewall damage, I'm screwed until a tilt tray turns up I'm thinking I might get one of those 4WD style of puncture repair kits that have that rope stuff and glue, whilst it will kill any hope of saving a tyre, it might help getting me out from some backwoods road far enough to find a actual tyre shop if the first can of tyre fix doesn't work I'm keen to see how your new toy pans out Uncle Duncan, I'll be moving to the Highlands next year, you'll need to shout out if your heading to Wakefield, whilst I've lost my balls for happy laps, I still love watching those that can
    • Yeah not sure what the warranty was, but it will be years outside it.  I've shot Link a message, will see what happens, I'm told their support is good. It is a plug in, so its a Link board in a factory case, very easy to access both sides of the circuit board by removing the top or bottom cover. To be fair the the Link, although I've checked to the factory connections and wiring specs, as we learned with Neil's car in the early days not all ECUs source power the same way. He'd been running a factory ECU with no trouble for years, but when we plugged a PowerFC in it wouldn't start up, just kept cycling power on and off. We worked out that the car was missing one of the 10a fuses "Electronic Parts", and to Neil's knowledge it had never been there. Turns out the ECU pulled its main power from that source not the same place the factory ECU did.  Point being....there are multiple battery and ECCS power sources in the factory ECU, and multiple grounds as well....not telling from the outside exactly what the Link uses (and doesn't use)
    • Now, thanks to sonicii, onto the uneven floor from a tyre sticking 100mm into the boot space. I looked into options to raise the floor to the level of the tyre, and ended up going Extruded Polystyrene (XPS). EPS is what I normally think of as polystyrene, the annoying tiny balls that get glued into a flat sheet but XPS is quite different, much firmer and doesn't crumble if you touch it with anything. I also looked at things like heavy duty seating foam but XPS seemed like the right way. I picked up 3x 1200x600x50 sheets for $40ea. Initially I was looking for 100mm sheets because I needed to make up a 100mm gap, but as it turned out 50mm was available, much easier to work with and made it simple to store the tools I used a simple 15cm foam cutter to make the shapes. With some practice I was able to make reasonably clean cuts but I don't think Clark Rubber are going to be calling me to offer a job. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/405092315205?var=675175481574 First layer in place, 3 dimensions are tricky! Second layer in place, bringing it to level with the top of the spare Cutouts in the top layer for the tools With floor back in place, nice and flat with 100mm stolen but no real impact on usability
    • Sounds like a good idea to me moh
