    When I found out all the stuff Nissan did to make it tuner unfriendly, I got soured on the GTR. Hopefully in a couple years they can come up with a way to get around all that stuff.

    Like when they changed wheels and it threw the sensor off?

    I think Mines' is getting around everything as far as EM but then again, that's Mines.

    This is a HUGE setup for Nismo in 2010. Let people drive it and want to upgrade it. Then make them only be able to buy Nismo Parts... Vaseline please.

    A friend of mine is getting one too. He has a deposit down. I'm sure he'd be all for a phot shoot.

    If I had the money for a GT-R I'd rather buy a 911 or Vette. It's nice, but meh.

    If I was buying to drive, then yes, z06 first. Otherwise the resale/collector value is gonna be redonkulous on the first year GTR.

    Anyway, GTR looks great. underbody aero is pretty amazing (from what I could see).

    if I can do a double gtr photoshoot I probably wouldn't get any work done because of the tremendous wood I'd have :laugh:

    I have to be honest...Yeah, it's cool the "skyline" is FINALLY coming state-side, but it's not a true skyline in my mind. First, its not even a Skyline, it's actually a Nissan GT-R. Second, it looks like a 350z or G35 with a body kit and different lights. Also, they got rid of the inline 6 setup they've been using for YEARS...Sure, it'll come stock with more bhp than previous skylines (barring the Z-tune), but like you've said, they're making it a b*** to modify. If I had the ~$70k to buy one, I'd rather import a R34 for the extra 10 to 15k. Just my two cents...

    I'd buy the GT-R to just drive. I'd only buy a plain jane C6, drop in an LS7, and throw LOTS of boost at it. Thats how I roll. V8's need turbo love too!
