TPLGT Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I will start first and get crushed for it but: Fugly. Rehab is for quitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-TT- Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 the r34 was so much more pretty than that thing. i don't hate it, i'm just stating an opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 True, kinda fugly, especially white, with this black elements, like fender vent, etc. Too much contrast that break the lines. I think a black or a dark one might look okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTGT Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 It is growing on me. Would not mind having this machine in my garage in the next few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Kinda interesting how they could legally import it. I heard it's impossible to legally import JDM cars as a whole. For example, some folks who imported rare trims of JDM Imprezas, had to cut the body in half, and then to transplant every bit to a USDM body frame.

Mines Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 heres the reason http://blogs.cobbtuning.com/?p=190 summary, he wanted the car early so he could do r&d on it It seems as if there is a LOT of problems trying to hack into the ecu for the new gtr, even my favorite tuner is having problems http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/07/nissan-gt-r-cant-take-aftermarket-wheels-unapproved-race-track/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your wallet might also be ~$10,000 lighter... Well, assume you wait a couple of years and can actually buy the car at MSRP. Part 1: http://www.autocar.co.uk/VideosWallp...AR=231443&CT=V Part 2: http://www.autocar.co.uk/VideosWallp...AR=231444&CT=V I don't like all the limitations either but I'm hoping the USDM version will have less of it. That and maybe the tuners can get around the ECU problem eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

han Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I really like it. Not as sexy as the R34 or R33, but I still really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommypenguin Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I liked the r34 best also, I like the new backend on the redesigned skyline but like all nissans I do not like the front end, too cheesy. As for this car's performance its supposed to be superman on wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsdzine Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I'm agree with the past few posts. I like the car, I think it looks damn fine in the black. Granted I'm not too fond of all the electronic gadgets inside the car - I could only see myself playing with them a few days of the year - and as a daily driver I think they would get distracting. I think the gearbox sounds great from the rants, and the car seems mechanically sound... If I had the cash, this would be my next car (plus it claims to be fun, yet stable in the snow as well. so it could actually work all year 'round in CO.) I would suspect that Art probably would have the best knowledge on the flaws of the car... he's all nissan lovin'. brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenc544 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 plus it claims to be fun, yet stable in the snow as well. so it could actually work all year 'round in CO. Well, apparently even just putting on aftermarket wheels will cause the ECU to throw a code. Oh, the stock tires are also "glued" to the wheel. So unless Nissan decides to release a winter tire/wheel package I wouldn't be too crazy about driving my $70k super car with semi-slicks in the snow...

Hops Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 My favorite is the R33! I guess I need to go down to Cobb and see this in person, though. I was down there last week and they aren't showing it off yet. The first real Skyline in the US! I think it's sick. I hear it has a GPS system that knows if you take it to a race track... Then they void your warranty. **** that. Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
