will if that were true, valve stems are removable... also, im sure whatever sensor is transferable and MANY GTR's have new/different rims on them. wouldnt be very smart if it could only use one specific rim.

if you spent $95k on an $80k car only to learn that it could be beat by a $50k vette and the only way to do what the car is actually capable of you have to void the warranty, im sure a green paint job and flames would be your weapon of choice also.

they may not be hand assembled by one tech in a clean room but then again they cost about $30k less and are about 1/4'th the cost to maintain it.

only modern american cars i like are vipers vettes high end cobra's though i'd take the previous generation over the new one i think and thats about it. and yeah they have to be a cobra not a fan of the GT also a regular C6 is ok but i could spend my money better a Z06 would be tuff to beat but if i had money to throw around i would take a GTR over it but then im in the price range of a ZR1 and that makes things tuff. vipers are a bit to high in price though they got the new ACR which i would like to learn more about, also wonder what it costs. also i read alot about the corvettes interiors being crap and falling apart i remember one C6 Z06 where the roof started ripping off on the highway lol. the GTR is a great car and if it were to drop down under 3500lbs and get a better tranny so they could do the launch without voiding the warranty it would be a tough car then to turn down in any aspect.

If I were rich and just wanted to buy a car...that would be the one for me...or a Ferrari 308GTB QV. I still think it is one of the sexiest car ever made.

you know a sensor is just a sensor, doesent meant the car wont run.
it'll be annoying as **** and ding at you every 3 ****in secconds saying you have no tire pressure and you should seek asistance.

frankly i am really not liking the GTr's
a GTr used to be an affordable car in japan and now its this.....thing....that costs a whole hell of a lot.

skyline and gtr arent the same thing any more and they were for a very long time. i think it shoulda stayed that way

ultimate tech tip:

"how to bend 24 valves over a 10 minute period"

step one: warm engine up to specified operating temperatures and ensure all fluids are topped off.
(to protect you short block from damage i recommend using a full synthetic oil and using lucas stabilizer.)

step two: top off tank to ensure minimum fuel slosh during high G cornering, then check tire pressure and stagger and torque lug nuts.

step three: reach bottom of the mountain without tipping off the local authorities, then heat up your tyres by doing a small 10 second burn out.

step four: while holding one foot on the brake and one on the gas, slowly raise the RPM's to approximately 1200 RPM, upon releasing the brake be sure to keep your left foot hovering over the brake pedal to maximize braking performance and increase speed through the corners.

step five: ensuring that you are WOT through every curve because the vg30de lacks something called "power" and ensuring that if you have to slow down you immediately drop the automatic trans into first to bring a maximum RPM of 8k RPM for optimal engine braking, be sure to check your oil pressure and water temp and ignore the trans light whenever possible.

step six: after the last corner when your favorite rush song ends and you turn down the radio you will notice a slight knocking noise, just continue to ignore this sound until you reach your home.

step seven: after you have parked your z jack it up and support it using jack stands, then drain the oil, now remove the upper intake plenum and proceed to strip the engine for top end dissasembly, then proceed to remove the cams, lifter and valve springs.

step eight: CONGRATULATIONS! you have successfully completed the test!
