they don't impress me at all, if you have ever driven one for a long time and are over 6 ft tall or worked on one you know they aren't put together very well compared to a lexus or even a honda ???

they look nice

draws chicks like flies on shite, (mostly gold diggers!!)

sound nice

drive a few was a huge disapointment.

but to each his own I guess

bet they would frown upon us low class skyline drivers showing them up on the curcuit track ..lol

If thats what it takes for you to make yourself feel better because you will never own one in your life than so be it. They are not track built cars, they are prestige sports cars, so saying that you will show them up on the track stiff shit. They are still worth more than the house you will never own.

Do you see an F1 Skyline? NO but you do see a F1 Ferrari.

Different philosophies at work

Scuderia Ferrari sell road cars to fund their racing ambitions. Pure and simple. This is why Tifosi are so fanatical

Nissan create the best road going cars they can as that is their primary focus. Their racing ambitions come secondary. This is extremely common (think Mercedes/AMG, Porsche/RUF, Nissan/Nismo, Holden/HSV, Ford/FPV etc). These manufacturers only do racing to get prestige among certain market segments.

You cannot compare the two. Ferraris, Lambos, etc, are wild to rock on a track, but you try to reverse them into a parallel park, or even an angle park, you'll be swearing more than a pissed sailor on shore leave...

Some perspective should be used when comparing any Brand, let alone models. Their motives determine what kind of car they produce.... for good or bad..

While thats nice it shouldnt be forgotten all car companies exist for one reason - to make as much profit as possible to keep the board happy.

Very few of them do it for the love :dry:

    • They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.
    • Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?
    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
    • No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.
    • Does anyone know if this is off centered? Looks like it, when I indicate to go right, but turn my steering wheel slightly left it cancels (was always like that even before I started messing around with it) was wondering if anyone else has the same issue?
