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.

[alr33x]

does it dose? fundamentally thats whats important.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

ARR OH EFF ELL

[bluejeans]

lol

i see his priority is 6 speed > pod

[Miguelone]

lol

i see his priority is 6 speed > pod

6 speed > life of turbo/engine.

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

[.Ryan.]

Cbf quoting above, but if I was actually buying a supercar I wouldn't want a 'fancy transmission'. Leave that for the soccer enthusiasts and their golf gti's.

[Sunkist]

I thought u could get a 650 if it weighs more or something

[dezz]

There's LAMS approved bigger bikes, but they cost more...eg can get a 09-10 250 ninja for 4500-5000k, or a 650 LAMS ninja for like 8k...

[Sunkist]

Oh I see not really worth it if your selling after 12 months

[dezz]

Yeah thinking I'll just stick with the original plan of the 250 and try not to get killed on that for a year... then step it up

[Birds]

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

[dezz]

just over a week of log booking done for the car/tax....only 11 to go......

[blah_blah]

just over a week of log booking done for the car/tax....only 11 to go......

Make sure its a proper filled out log book.

Just sayin

[R-SPEC]

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
