simple as this really, would you consider a 32 gtr a supercar? no. whats so different about the 35 that makes it so super? essentially the same platform with modern features.

can you stroll into your local Lamborghini dealership and buy an aventador off the showroom floor? no, but you can walk into a nissan dealership and buy a fancy new skyline. and chances are you don't even have a local lambo dealer anyway.

lol essentially the same platform with modern features.

Half of the "supercars" you buy ATM don't even have a funky transmission.

GTR isn't classes as a supercar simply because of the price tag.

If they tagged them at 250-300k, everyone would call them that.

And no - you couldnt walk in and buy one off the showroom floor initially either. They were pre-order for a long time.

But where do you draw the line / price bracket to define it this way? That sounds more like the definition of an exotic than a supercar.

Agree with Jamie & Hamish. I think the stigma of Nissan being a family car producer gets in the way of people thinking the R35 is a supercar. If it was the only car that Nissan produced, people would certainly think of them as a supercar manufacturer. Being that there's only one R35, it's 180k and it's bloody fast, I consider it a supercar.

Though going by the supercars.net definition, every car is a supercar lol.

Also don't forget cars over here are HEAVILY inflated price wise due to dealership rorts and LCT.

You can could purchase new in Europe and import yourself - even factoring in taxes etc, for significantly less.

I'd say at the least 20%, saving yourself 100k on a 500k car.

Moh, I see you lurking!

You ask me to be regular on S/W and Y U NO POST?

Been a crazy busy week nigga.

Working 8-5 and then till late on the 32.

So happy it's actually a clean car. Less work.

Got an XR6 turbo in at work getting a 6 speed put in it...the kid mentioned that it occasionally stalls. Pop bonnet - induction straight off the turbo, no pod filter, nothing.

Hmmm, hearing from a lot of people that I'll get bored with a 250 Ninja real fast....

Don't wanna go straight to a big bike but don't want to buy something that I'm aiming to keep for ~12 months if I'll be over it in 3 weeks

Also don't really wanna spend more $ on something like a 650 LAMS Ninja when I'm just gonna be upgrading in a year either...

Might just have to settle for the slowness of a 250 Ninja, ride it for a year then step up to a negro gixxer 750

does it dose? fundamentally thats whats important.

Yes it does and, these XR6 are much laggier than I thought they would be...kind of ordinary at least on stock boost...when you look at the size of the turbo though :/

why would you get bored of a 250 are you really that obsessed with speed?

sure i'd prefer 600+ but it's purely for cosmetics/frame size. most 250s look meh and are small

had a close up look at a megeli 250r they are tiniy :/ and gay wheels

and how long does it take vicroads to mail me my fkn license

    • It could be in the tune but in both cases it couldn't be completely solved or eliminated by some of the best tuners in victoria so I'm DOUBTFUL that it's in the tune or ECU but stranger things have happened of course. I've pondered that theory too but is there any theories that thinner and smaller ports overall would cause a turbo to spike? I would've thought it would just restrict it in general if it was small enough to make a difference. I wouldn't expect it to make a different at what is essentially sub 300kw at 4000rpm anyway. I think the next step is going to have to be the 6psi spring to rule out the idea that the gate is cracking open far too wide initially. At least that is the cheapest (free) thing to check initially.
    • I'm thinking it is skinny NA Neo port sizing and cams. Somehow.
    • -5’s did it. 8474 did it. Not hot side related. ECU related? 🤨🤪
    • Above you mentioned you only need to sand primer if there's an issue with it but with fillers it says the surface needs to be sanded to X grit beforehand. Does that sorta contradict that point as the primer hasn't been sanded yet? At the same time if I sand the primer, there's a good chance I'll expose the bare metal and I'm just chasing my tail at that point. Or I'll just use a sand sponge instead of sandpaper, it seems to be far finer in terms of abrasiveness as opposed to sandpaper. From what I understand, filler is like primer and needs scratches from the sandpaper to help it adhere to the panel. I realised the way I'm doing things is actually a bit counter productive as there's a chance after I put filler I will need to put epoxy primer again as opposed to putting the filler first and potentially no primer if I don't go to bare metal. Will keep this in my mind for the rest of my repairs.
    • Not without making up a new screamer pipe from scatch I don't think based upon the angles of the current return. Backpressure shouldn't be an issue though as the straight gate isn't affected by backpressure in the same way that a poppet valve is, and on top of that the exhast system is 4" all the way through so there should be minimal pressure if any to begin with.
