Parts for the GTR have been criticised for being too expensive.. Mine's is especially bad. That being said, a set of those coilovers on the GTR will turn the car into a monster at the track. You gotta pay the cost to be the boss.

:werd: Cant expect cheap parts for a 'supercar'

When a part makes up more than 10% of the price of your 80K car, it is not justifiable no matter how good it makes your car IMO hahahaha

1500 dollar brake pads? What are they lined with? Diamonds?

Given that the car is now the number 2 production car around the ring, please tell me why anyone but a full out race team would require anything more than the stock suspension? Seems to me, they got it 'right' at the factory.

The cost of the car really has nothing to do with price of aftermarket parts. It's the original capabilities of the car that make performance parts so expensive. Lots of R&D goes into making these parts and the better a car is the harder it is to make parts that will improve it's performance...but yah as I said earlier Mine's is still mad expensive regardless of what the part is. :)

You can always make it better... it's always nice to have that adjustability. A stock GTR was running 1:03 - 1:04 lap times on Tsukuba.. with a few of Mine's touches it's now in the 58 - 59 second range. Those parts certainly arent for everyone but it's nice to have options to upgrade.

I like the $400 air filter. Classy.

Why are you guys so cheap, I thought we were all beyond millionaires under 21.

I'd love diamond covered brake pads. Just shows that I am also fashionable and performance oriented :bigpimp:
