...got DIDDY DURTY MONEY?!?!

i don't mean "normal" money... i mean diddy DURTY money.

THIS CAR however goes up for auction Wednesday... and i won't lie it's pretty much EXACTLY how i would style a car.. white body. BBS RG GMG rims... mmmmmm :wub:

for compliance you'd prob need to swap bonnet n seat over.. someone could lend you theirs :) but that car is boooodiful

It looks very VIP for a GT-R which is supposed to be the exact opposite, its not bad but I probably wouldn't do it to mine.

In my opinion there are very few kits that actually make a car look better, and they are usually Factory options or a closely related tuning house.

Unless your talking about those soarers which look x 10 better with that kit.

omfg that black one, only if i had an extra 50k lol

if it was a GTT i wouldnt mind having it like that white on with doluck kit. its doluck wing and kit right?

but like the standard front bar and only would consider any other if it was either the optional nismo front bar or ztune one :)

....white GTT ...are you talking about woody's old EastBear GTS-R???

:/

either way... a gtr will come up eventually - i guess if anything that's working against your favour is that ... right now in 2011.. it tends to get to slim pickings...

in that most cars are over 10 years old... when a car gets 10 years old in japan - it sorts out ownership from the men and the boys...

many owners will sell their cars as they come up for ten years of age because too much headache to own with the tighter shaken, and they get bought up by generally more hardcore enthusiasts...

being that most cars have been "gotten rid of" by now... their popularity in sale goes down a smidge...

go have a look and see how many 2001 Z40 soarers are being auctioned off right NOW it's crazy.

this time 1/2 years ago there was HEAPS of GTR's being bought n sold ... that will have slowed down a little bit..

...but - put it this way... there are millions and millions of people in japan. and millions of them drive cars... millions drive Nissans

thousands drive skylines

hundreds drive skyline GTRs... and of those hundreds of people.. every week.. about 15 of those people will sell their GTRs...

...and of that 15... a handfull will be sold at a USS auction house...

...and of that handful... will be your PERFECT GTR that you always dreamed of..

it may take a while for that one to come up... but this time next year - you will read this post...

...look down at your hand and see the "R" key...

go outside... and start the car.. you'll get that tingle down your spine.. a smile will come across your face as you let out a sigh of releif

...as you pop a boner.

71 model.. needs repairs and a lick of paint but still going.

GTRs go for whatever people are wiling to pay. look at the 32gtr. the ADMs are still going for 45K+..

guys

...you don't reckon...

http://japaneseusedcars.com/auction/allday/detail_toyota-AuctionNo-HUT10178.html

do you????

seems kind of ominous that number 5 just came out...

do you reckon it's the real thing? i wouldn't be suprised if it'd bee imported into japan

well the first movie came out ten years ago so it is possible that colours may have faded, or even had a respray... besides... how can you EVEN tell that the colour is different..

like - between seeing a movie released ten years ago, and seeing a dodgy grainy japanese auction house picture in a shed under fluro lights... how can you tell if the colours are different? i am reporting your post and calling for your banning.

admittedly...

it didn't have the carbon bonnet before but as i said, it is possible that they may have changed the bonnet...

i dunno - my jury's out.. but still... looks interesting?

i mean - you look at how much YOUR car has changed in the last 6 months..

imagine that process over ten years...

The wing is wrong too dude.... It looks like a replica.

The movie car was a targa top was it not....

It looks as though that one isn't although I may be mistaken.

My car hasnt changed in the last 6 months, except the turbo oil seals blew out. Lol.

you know why that is though rait?

BCOZ ITZ A NSN!

and yes you're right - movie car is a targa

but at the end it's a hard top

don't beleive me? go watch the fkn movie.

shit even if you DO beleive me go watch the fkn movie - it's excellent

    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
    • Does exhaust manifold get hot as turno exhuast side? I have a turbo cover to managr heat in the engine bay but  nothing is covering the exhaust manifold before turbo   i know as turbo does compress air, the temp does go up however does that mean exhaust manifold would be as hot?
    • It's excellent but I'm still breaking it in so I'm not 100% sure where it'll end up. I would say it's about 15% heavier than stock and the smoothness of the slip zone is quite progressive but you need to be a little patient compared to stock or it'll bite hard and stall. Stock I got away with absolutely horrid clutch control. Like I said before I couldn't even tell where the clutch would grab when it was stock so releasing way too quickly without enough revs it would just slip and the revs would drop lower than ideal but that would be the end of it. Currently there's a bit of a nasty clutch judder if I don't apply enough revs + find the exact wrong point of the slip point in the clutch pedal but it feels like it's slowly resolving as I drive it more. I would not recommend the competition clutch unless you really need the extra clamp force. I think this clutch combined with the Nismo operating cylinder is going to be exactly what I want. Enough bite that you need to remember the release point to avoid stalling or rough shifts, but progressive enough that it's not hard to drive by any means and not heavy at all. I tried a "super single" clutch on my friend's 997.2 Turbo 6MT and that was absolutely horrid. It runs an electrohydraulic power steering pump for the clutch power boost so there's zero feedback in the clutch pedal and there was a horrific clutch shudder well after break-in due to the lack of marcel springs or hub springs in the friction disk. It felt like the slip zone was the thickness of a single toe twitch as well so it was almost impossible to avoid stalling it unless you gave it a ton of revs and just dumped the clutch instead of trying to be smooth with it. I was terrified of pulling out in front of traffic. I have also tried some kind of "super single" on an EK9 and that makes this twin plate Coppermix look like a stock clutch. Releasing the clutch pedal even slightly too quickly feels like you're getting rear-ended. The pedal is extremely heavy as well and there's no vacuum assist like the GTR.
