Basically for about $30K + 7K joining fee you get 10,000 points or 10,000km to drive pretty much every performance car out there. Cars are grouped into five tiers with Ferraris and Lambos in the top. With a max of 10,000 points you could use the top cars for around 60 days a year... remember a lot of u guys only drive your cars on weekends. Thats a different supercar every week. Go down to the lesser catregories and you get even more days.

New GTR will be in, Lotuses, Murcielago roadster, Audi R8.. Bentleys, AMGs.. U name it they got it.

Now factor this. Say you buy an HSV for 70K.. that will depreciate at least $20K in the first year. Buy one of these luxury cars and you looking at more. If you have the money and you dont drive everyday.. this could actually be a worthwhile deal.

Thoughts?

hahah you know what, it might just be worth it, if you are a high earner. In fact, just join for a year and sample all the super car in one year.

the down side is you don't own the car

the up side......you can drive it like it's stolen and someone else can do the maintenence work.

pretty intteresting idea

      Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.

      Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5

      Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.

      You would need to paint your hardtop again though

      I have an old R32 in the shed that hasnt moved much in the last few years and probably should see the light of day. At one point I had a Nismo 1.5 centre put in the rear diff. It is a clunky nightmare POS of a thing on a good day. To make it less painful the initial torque setting has been put on the minimum (7.0kgf-m, mid is 9.5, high is 14) and the oil changed out to something more slippery. But it is still awful and ruins the vibe of the thing. So my questions are: Given I have the original parts sitting in a box somewhere would it be better to rebuild the thing again, reverting to more purity? Is there a standard kit or do you just go and replace the friction plates etc and shim it the way you like it. How much initial torque does the standard R32 rear diff have? Or does the Nismo disc kit offer a better solution - the caveat being the initial torque for both options appears to be higher than the clunky 1.5 way. There appear to be two Nismo disc kits: 3843S-RS520 for 8kgf-m. 3843S-RS521 for 12kgf-m. Or is the easiest solution to reshim the Nismo diff to make it looser?
