moon bunny Group: XIAO Posts: 5,735 Member No.: 13,323 Joined: Oct 4th 2005 Location: Update Profile | I still think the R35 Proto with it's Gene Simmons lights should've gone into production... frickin' Datsun, go get some riceballs and actually manufacture a real Gojiira! Also, that R36 Prototype looks pimp as Pluto; don't hate da playa mangs, h8 da game for pushing flying saucers into mech-designers' autoCADs~ That thing looks like it it can blend Robocop in 6 seconds.

Auto designers destroy concepts all the time. Just because an aerodynamic chassis exists means nothing except that they're testing. The last GTR went through countless revisions before the production car appeared. Last I saw anything R36 related, they were testing the engine in R35 bodies. | ||

Nissan loves building gorgeous protypes but that is it. it is to low and to small to be a gtr, I wonder how they will fit the 4wd system into that thing |

.... I'll be honest, I thought they were bleh... And this was from a Multistrada 1200S. Well, I thought they were until they allowed me to ride a Monster 1200 and a new Multistrada. I still like what Aprilia has to offer, but my God. The new Multi felt so much better than whatever I rode before and the Monster... I think I found a substitute should my 919 just up and die. | ||

Did I say Tesi or...... |

It is true that bikes are more exciting and the thrill of speed is something else. If I did not have kids, I will ride the bike to my hearts content . but when you have little tykes waiting at home, your perspective would change. I love ridding the car on my favorite mountain road. after several years of driving, I have yet to experience the exaggerated "Front tire grip" problem Initial D racers are experiencing halfway thru the race. I mean the tires (street or track tires) can withstand abuse and several laps on the race track. driving on the mountain on a single run will not make you loose your front end grip. unless Nakazato, Seiji etc. are racing worn out tires to begin with Back to topic: This is my ADV rims This post has been edited by r35gtr on Nov 26 2015, 09:39 PM | ||

Just get a Hypermotard and never get bothered by other bikes again. They don't look like sport bikes and they're odd enough that kids won't try to steal it. That or any Triumph Triple. $8000 of sex. | ||

ShiMACHaze Group: Advanced Members Posts: 19,542 Member No.: 5,394 Joined: Feb 5th 2005 Location: Drydock | Maybe it's because I'm not buying $30k+ cars, but I wholeheartedly disagree with you on that one. Depending on the vehicle there could be a lot of headroom for power on stock components. I happen to be driving an example where the factory overengineered the drivetrain but set the wastegate to 0.5 bar instead of 1 bar and set the fuel map accordingly. Sure the argument is 'reliability', but if all it takes is a new fuel map and a boost controller and you have a significantly faster car without any difference in risk as far as blowing the motor goes, why not? I think of it like overclocking CPUs. Some CPUs have lots of thermal headroom and love to be overclocked. Some have basically none and attempting to overclock them will fry 'em. A blanket statement like 'nothing beats stock reliability' and saying that no car should be tuned simply because of one bad experience just goes to show you should have more experiences. |

Snooping as usual Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,780 Member No.: 32,588 Joined: Apr 13th 2009 Location: what are you doing in my swamp? | I understand not wanting to mess with an engine. The difference between 500 and 600 horsepower is tough to feel. The difference between sticky tires and all seasons is something you notice the first time you want to explore the handling limits. When you have a tiny Ford, any additional power makes a difference in the seat of the pants. That's harder to come by in a GTR, which I'm sure spends very little time at WOT on the street. |

They install it for you. The package pretty much replaces everything including the engine. | ||

Well sure, in the context of Godzilla yeah. But never tuning any car ever? How can a car guy live that way? ...Well, by buying one that's already tuned I guess is the answer to that. Answered my own question. | ||

ShiMACHaze Group: Advanced Members Posts: 19,542 Member No.: 5,394 Joined: Feb 5th 2005 Location: Drydock | A'ight, so if car-guy-with-tuning-days-behind-him buys an SR5, he poodles around carb'd and is happy about his stock reliability? That's my point, and why the answer to my question is in fact, 'you buy a car where the work was already done for you'. |

Snooping as usual Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,780 Member No.: 32,588 Joined: Apr 13th 2009 Location: what are you doing in my swamp? | I like upgrading from floating calipers to fixed 4 piston calipers because they wear the pads more evenly, which I'd argue makes for increased reliability. That and it's a lot easier to swap pads on a setup like that. |

moon bunny Group: XIAO Posts: 5,735 Member No.: 13,323 Joined: Oct 4th 2005 Location: Update Profile | I gotta agree with N1 on this; if you don't like fluxing with the map after every high-oku mantan, what's the point of having a sports coupe. Cars are most definitely like computers, plus the additionally dumb auto parts mark-up, that makes tuning Co's think they can charge an arm & a leg for plastic, metal, and ECU kiddy scripts. Man... what I wouldn't do to have the tools/parts to spec up a BeeArrZed to clutch breaking echelon... ...I mean sure it's a frickin' NA, but hey, Wataru has more personality than Tak in my opinion~

Why would you buy an SR5 in the first place? Also, carbs are great. | ||

So that you can have a nice chassis to work with without paying a tofu tax? Carbs are great but the 4A-C is not. | ||
