You should definitely step up the fitment game on yours because this thing looks weak.

Neat! What do those creases/scoops/things above the exhaust tips do?

They are heat escape vents for the transmission and rear differential

 

[Omnis]

It looks better in white with the red pinstripe. All ready to drive to Miami Heat games.

huh?

 

[MHPALA]

Some people have obviously have not read the press material. Please tell me you'll be at the Nagtroc beach party (if there is one this year).

 

[CodeRedR51]

huh?

Wheel fitment.

 

[MCNAGTROC]

oh as in offset? thats how all GTRs are set up. +45 in the front +25 in the rear..

I thought he meant like body panel gap or something thats why I was puzzled

as for changing anything.. this is a car you dont touch

Every car is a car that can be made better. Wider wheels and tires with a lower offset to fill out those fenders. The stock wheels aren't even dished. It might be a great car but it can get better, especially with a bolt-on solution that can be reverted to stock in 10 minutes. Plus, it's always a good idea to have a second set of wheels.

Low production number, limited edition. Don't touch a thing.

 

[Turtle]

That black one looks absolutely sinister.

Thus why I'd never buy a car as an investment. They're machines that can be used, broken and repaired. But to each his own.

That's why I'd never want to own a classic original car, I'd rather drive it than store it in a garage. Example: I'd much rather own a Shelby Cobra kit car than an original.

But the NISMO is a bit different than a classic car. Its a brand new car and very limited edition so I would drive it, but would just keep it completely bone stock. I wouldn't change a thing on it.

 

[MHPALA]

Its his car. He can do whatever the hell he wants to do with it. I only hope he dogs the hell out of it on the autocross.

Please give a thorough review on it too MC. I'd like to see the improvements to the damptronic setup. Go pic heavy.

besides the JDM clear side markers...yes

yeah I will. I have a bunch of content planned starting with documenting the delivery since its #1 for the US. after that a few walk arounds ect...and then some 1/8 & 1/4 mile a 24 hr autoX event and hopefully a track day before fall

Eh, wheels can be swapped easily with no harm to the car. Wouldn't hurt anything.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

Erm.. AWD cars are bit more sensitive in that regard.

 

[CodeRedR51]

With swapping wheels? No.... as long as it's done properly.

Speaking of NISMO GT-R's, I was just eyeballing one. Highlight of my day.

 

[MCNAGTROC]

The wheels are really nice they are designed after the wheel the super gt car runs

 

[MHPALA]

Also made by Rays 👍.

So I take it that this is the last hurrah for the R35 generation?

 

[MCNAGTROC]

yes basically. looks like the R36 will be out in 2016 as a 2017 model in the US. It should debut at the Tokyo Motor Show in November of 2015. So there in all likely hood will be a 2016 R35 as the very last one

 

[MHPALA]

It is (to a high possibility). There's nothing left from the Spec V parts bucket . It can still be sold next year with more customizable options like the ones introduced this year. If a MYUS 2016 model were to be, I hope the steering wheel gets the high boost switch.

 

[MCNAGTROC]

Im surprised the NISMO didnt get the overtake boost button as it literally runs the SpecV Turbos

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

SCRAMBLE BOOST!

I'm pretty sure that's a general rule of thumb for anyone & everyone. It's nigh impossible to tell what will actually return any investment without giving it a decade's time (bar Halo Ferraris and the Ford & Porsche GTs).

Good choice. The most fun cars i had were black. Pretty much black cars i owned, i kept the longest.
