RC-F or something? 

I like the Q60 Red sport, but the depreciation on a brand new luxury car would be pretty horrendous. 

Sure, cars costs money, but I am too much of a jew to to piss that kind cash up the wall. Would rather have 2 cars instead. 

Lexus (RC-F) much heavier with less torque available and a smaller power band with a conventional auto =\ 

Doesn't seem that appealing, but as with everything hard to know unless you drive it.

Conventional auto more appealing to me. Easier to service/maintain, and youre not completely f**ked and relying on dealerships if something goes wrong. If its a bit sluggish, someone probably makes a shift kit for them. Bobs your uncle.

Look at us being all old and discussing autos lol

That's how I know I'm old... 

I hate autos as much as the next broad minded person. But when you like a car and it only comes in auto... Do what you gotta do

Just quietly the M4 is a ground up built road car, that they have "tweaked" into a performance car. 

The GTR was a ground up build to go around a track as fast as possible, whilst being street legal.

Yeah I get that, they're very different cars. It's more an indication of my changing tastes.

 

As has been pointed out before though, by Leeroy I think, I talk a lot and am very indecisive. While all this was going on I was still buying parts for the 34 an just dropped it off to the tuner yesterday so I'm not "sold' on any 1 direction. 

I'll just keep trying to win lotto :)

Hah, nah the 1 and 2 series don't do it for me. 

I did consider selling the 34, selling the S13 and just buying a really well developed track car and a good trailer :D

The 1 series M that i got to drive was better than the M3 that i drove of the same era ;)

I got some good feedback on the M2 and admittedly haven't driven it because aesthetically it doesn't stir my loins. 

fair enough, aesthetics are important.

I got a 2013 c63 with performance pack for the mrs back in January. This thing has no problems keeping up with 350kw gtr's. You will love the low down tourqe (as this is what sold me on it in the first place). Sounds heaps better than an m4 and is practical with 4 doors. Take one for a drive if you enjoyed the r35 power delivery.

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
