It's not that some people have more money than sense. It's just the absolute rareness of this nismo strut brace. To be honest you really have more chance of being hit by a bus than getting the chance to buy such a awesome rare piece like this. If I had the spare money now I'd snap this up. And it does say ONO so he is negotiable obviously. Goodluck with the sale.

Could easily spend that $3000 on something else other than a strut brace, some people have more money than sense

I see your point!

Person A could definitely argue that he'd rather spend $3.5K on getting most of a GTs-T

Then again...

Person B could announce that $3.5K "invested" on a Nismo item is likely to give him the same return in a few years time.

In my case...

I didn't pay $3.5K on mine. It's an older style. How much it's worth now is anyone's guess - but I like it.

And it suits the N1, because it's as light as a feather.

Damien, you're always in on the 'goss' aren't you - lol?

The red or black label is just an option on which one you like. I went with Nismo as the Omari factory really means they built the car.

Ok I have changed my mind on how I will sell this item . From the sale price I will donate $200 to a charity organization and terry gets to choose it.

Maybe you should auction it off on the Tech night, but set a reserve where you'd be happy to let it go. I know I'd lob a bid in to get it started!

Nah, I just figured that by having a look at your car and knowing the no expense spared nature and rarity of it, what better way to complement it, than with a rare piece of equipment like this.

But in reality, if you already have a nismo titanium one, how much better could it possibly get?

That price is seriously stupid rare or not its not made from fkn gold...

Totally agree, a strut brace is a strut brace IMO ur only paying for the "brand and rareness", a good a good quality one will do the same job, and leave more money for other mods

Why do people always complain nismo parts are always to dear there is no nismo part that is cheap,most people buying these parts will prob have all the mods and more on there car and are just looking for the one bit that eludes them from the perfect gtr,

That price is seriously stupid rare or not its not made from fkn gold...

A 1952 Mickey Mantle is worth $250,000. If someone offered it to you for $2,500 would say its not worth it because its only made of paper?

    • I believe when they added coolant to cool the turbo it negated the need for turbo timers as water continues to flow even when the engine is shut off I forget the actual terminology, I'll just say the coolant "percolates" through the turbo which stops the oil cooking itself to death  Well....that's how I see it, as all the plant at work that has coolant lines to the turbo can be shut down straight away, whereas the older plant with only oil feed to the turbo you need to idle it for a few minutes
    • What is the current snail?
    • Never an issue with boost control. No weird boost issues pre throttle at partial throttle like you're suggesting. It worked.   As for all the turbo damage claims, they all were started by aftermarket BOV companies. At least turbo timer companies had SOME truth about them, except people failed to realise that except for in extreme circumstances, that small amount of driving you do to park/ through pit lane etc, is enough to not have a need for a turbo timer.
    • I tell people all the time this stuff runs on a 2 MHz 8-bit MCU. The math is a bit arcane, they do a lot to get around their limited resolution and so on but it works great as-shipped. So if an 80 to 160 MHz modern 32-bit MCU can't make it work you've really screwed something up badly. Your average graphing calculator is faster these days, god forbid we start talking about what's hiding in vapes or some stupid internet-connected "smart appliance".  I suspect the lore about off-throttle surge damaging turbos must be very, very old if it was ever true. I still don't think off throttle surge is good for turbos because you're rapidly having air going in and out of the turbo on top of rapid loss in shaft speed which presumably does impart some kind of unusual load on the rotating assembly. As for the recirculating valve, I believe Nissan actually in a press slide deck of some kind explained for the RZ34 they found it improved response. Prior to that they kept the throttle cracked open instead which causes rev hang and because the throttle/engine is a substantial restriction a ton of the energy in the air stream is lost just to pumping past it. Recirculating helps reduce energy loss by bringing the intake side of the compressor up in pressure so it's not working as hard to pull air in. In DCT cars where they can slam gears I believe Porsche hangs the throttle wide open with no fuel injection to keep turbo RPMs as high as possible during the shift. As for running post-throttle boost source, I would be concerned that at partial throttle on boost you would have driveability issues. It would be constantly trying to run crazy amounts of boost before the throttle to compensate for the throttling effect. Maybe with a much more sophisticated boost control setup you could activate a solenoid that goes from a conventional 3-port setup to something that allows the wastegates to see full vacuum in that specific case? 
    • Did you clean everything out? Take all intercooler piping off, empty the intercooler of oil, clean the exhaust out, etc? Intercoolers make great catch cans... Which makes them less useful for intercooling... But very worth cleaning out, along with all adjoining piping.
