Unless you are getting the Turbo, don't waste your time. WAY underpowered IMO and he build quality sucks. Not to mention the exhaust note sounds like a big FART.

Well that sucks lol. I dont know what I want, but I can figure it out later. If I can get what I want for the car as is, then I'm fine with it, I won't lose TOO much.

The gt3 exhaust sounds of pure sex... but for everyday use is definitely too rough, especially coming from a merc.

Wanna buy my GT-R? I'm sick of the attention.

They're taking the transmission back to the drawing board, they've stopped production altogether and halted taking orders. Any models sold in this period are gonna be marked with a scarlet letter.

CH, is that an official Nissan announcement or just internet noise? If they actually admit to transmission design flaws that cause catastrophic failure doesn't that open them up to all types litigation from current owners?

Did they really stop production and cease tacking orders?

Nissan has instructed its Japanese dealers to temporarily halt taking orders for the Nissan GT-R, declining to offer an explanation or state when order-taking can resume. So far, the order halt only applies to home-market dealers, leading to speculation that there's an issue with a Japan-only component or subsystem. More below.

Jesus GF ... are you bi polar- you buy cars, buy wheels, then try to sell wheels and then sell the car. I know you may say you have gone thru a lot of cars but you buy them after the depreciation has sunk so you cant be too bad off. But how many is this now, MBZ, Audi, Lexus, back to MBZ ...

But still, you pour money into mods- good luck but dude you need to probably actually keep a car long enough to develop a liking

The W211 E55 is a keeper to this date ... I see no replacement for it. I changed to a coupe (M6) and a 997TT so I left the 4 door world but to change it in an apples vs. apples world there is basically none. (maybe M5 if you are ready to shift and rev high which I love)

Bro in this market you're going to take a beating, you've only had her for what 6-7 months & dumped maybe $8k+ into her? Just keep the damned thing or prepare for proctology exam while Dr. has both his hands on your shoulders

Seriously bro keep her & enjoy modding it further

+1. Very well said. If there were a replacement that stood out then there might be a question....but there isn't, unless of course there is something you really want. But it doesn't seem like you have your heart set on anything, so, keep what you have and enjoy it man. It's a great car. If you have a hankering for something new, buy yourself a nice Cup Car and go racing !!!!

im interested in your wheels. I think they are 19s right? Give me some info

Offset?
How much tread left on tires?
Did you have to do any mods to get them to fit like rolling the fender or hub spacers?
DO they rub at all in any condition?
Is there any damage to wheels

By The Way Where did you get the 5.5AMG Badges on the fenders. I looked on ebay and cant find them


Thanks in advance for the info

Benzboi posted the link below but I'll answer here as well:

High end Japanese made wheels
WORK VS-XX, 3 piece. Silver face with clearcoated polished lips
REAR: 19x10 ET+36
FRONT: 19x8.5 ET+28

Wheels are in good condition and have normal wear. There is a curb rash on the rear right wheel that is approximately 1/4 the total diameter.

Wheels are TPMS compatible and ready and have the sensor hole drilled already. If you dont have TPMS, simply put a regular valve stem to plug the hole.

Tires: Michelin PS2 Pilot Sport. One has about 75% tread left (rear tire). The others, I'd say are to be replaced.
Sizes: 245/35/19 fronts and 275/30/19 rears.

Best of it all: NO RUBBING WHATSOEVER! You can see how slammed my car is, and I have no issues.

Note: I use a 2mm rear spacer to clear my AMG BBK. I'll give the spacers as well.

Price for it all: $2,500 plus shipping.
