ktl Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 What a fantastic car, although running the car is a taddddd expensive lol. For instance. If you kerb your wheel a new wheel will set you back £1500 from nissan. Paintshops/sprayers will be not be able to colour match it perfect!If you get a puncture in 1 tyre, all 4 have to be changed. £400 a tyre for him so thats £1600 lol. £400 a year tax lol. 10-15 MPG.Anyway enough facts, the Paintwork was mint condition no swirls scratches, alot of tar spot so quickly Snow foamed her thenwent over with Poorboys White Diamond polish and waxed it over with Collinite #915.

Scott-EP Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Silver ;) It's all about Red with the GTR's Who told you about if you get a Puncture in 1 tyre you need to replace all four haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ktl Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 Silver ;) It's all about Red with the GTR's Who told you about if you get a Puncture in 1 tyre you need to replace all four hahaIts something to do with wear in the diff if you got 1 uneven tyre. but you normally change in pairs if you got 4wd iirc.Not clued up, just been told this.

Liam_D Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Tyre thing sounds like Nissan trying to rip people off to be honest, Replace the two on the same axle but not all four. Looks awesome mate, you've done a great job of that. Is it something you do professionaly or just for fun? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 i can actually see the point in changing all 4 tyres though with such a technological run car uneven tyre tread could put the figures out on the computer that runs it. if you get what i meanlooks stunning mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Yeah i see that mate, Cars like this would run better with 4 new tyres but the difference wouldnt be all that noticeable. And that would be a waste in 3 good tyres aswell lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott-EP Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 But i don't understand how a Puncture would make your Tread levels un-even and that's the only thing that Slightly wears a Dif outPersonally I think Nissan should have made this a Man's car and Given it a RB26DETT Engine running at around 650bhp from the Factory fully forged and a proper manual gearbox but that's just me ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Because i bet its not recomended to repair these tyre mate, like all the Run-Flat tyres they arent advised to be repaired. And obviously if you have a new tyre the one on the other side wont be as good tread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 But i don't understand how a Puncture would make your Tread levels un-even and that's the only thing that Slightly wears a Dif outbecause if you get 4 new tyres put on and run them for 3 months then get a puncture and get 1 replaced then 3 tyres will have less tread through 3 months of use and one will have brand new tyre with full tread hence making the tread levels uneven ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott-EP Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Ahh whats the point in owning a car like this with all these stupid costs, Waste of money i'd rather get an R34 Nur Spec (Proper Skyline) it would be Cheaper to run, Cheaper to Repair and Quicker oohh and More Exclusive haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
