Insert every joke you can about fools and their money here, because anything that would set us apart from $21,000 had better come with its own keys and a title.. According to the online store GT-RR.com (http://gt-rr.com/gt-r/r35/nismo_japan/part/exhaust_system_titanium_with_diffuser/pid/178), "NISMO offers this revised rear diffuser with titanium 70mm exhaust. This system will keep noise in check, while allowing 11lbs of weight reduction through the use of titanium." Does that justify a price tag somewhat similar to what a healthy Caucasian baby can bring on the open market?

That's what we thought, too.

Wow...Uhh yeah...

[Vteckidd]

i have "similar" style ones coming out for $6000

LOL

[Sammich]

GAH DAMN THAT IS FUKIN BUTTSECKS OMG THATS HOT

[TurboRiceCooker]

21g for that....?NO

[Bruce Leroy]

Nissan is fucking retarted...

Why does an exhaust cost as much as a transmission???

[atlxpat]

cause its nismo..... I wonder if thats just a typo and its just 2100 but that doesnt sound right either lol

[Vteckidd]

i bet its $210,000 YEN or some shit that would make it 2200$

Theres no way they can charge $1/4 the price of the CAR ITSELF for an exhaust system

[Vteckidd]

Actually here you go read this

The entire Club Sport Kit should soon be available for North Americans for roughly $50,000 and includes the following:

-Nismo Branding
-Nismo Titanium exhaust system
-Nismo Recaro SP-X CL100 Carbon/Leather seats
-Nismo Carbon Fibre Rear Diffuser

-Nismo 20 inch Rays lightweight forged aluminium rims with Potenza RE070R run-flats, front: 255/40 ZRF20 tyres and rear: 285/35 ZRF20

-Nismo Sports Suspension - Three mode-switchable Bilstein Damptronic suspension with spring rates of front: 18.5kg/mm and rear: 9.6kg/mm



If $50,000 is too much for you to spend in one shot, you can perform the Nismo upgrades via 2 smaller sub offerings.

Chassis Package - $18,000 - Suspension upgrade, Wheels and Tires (weight saving of 3.2kgs front and 2.8kgs rear)


Carbon Bucket Seats Package - $15,000 – Nismo Recaro leather-wrapped carbon fiber racing seats


Titanium Exhaust System Package - $15,000 - Lightweight titanium exhaust and carbon fiber rear diffuser (a weight saving of 5kgs)


The kit will be available in Japan as of September 30th and NO global dates have yet to be confirmed.

[Thighs]

wtf.

gtr = MEGA EPIC FAIL. this cars bullshit never ceases to amaze me. i wonder whats next on the WTF GTR list?

[Bruce Leroy]

http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=131549



Focused mainly on cutting weight and tightening up handling, the package comes with race-ready Bilstein adjustable dampers, stiffer front and rear springs and 20-inch forged Rays aluminum wheels wrapped in Bridgestone RE070R run-flat tires.

Other mods include a new lightweight axle-back exhaust that sheds 11 pounds from the curb weight and a drag-reducing carbon-fiber undertray. The seats are upgraded to carbon fiber leather-trimmed Recaros, which keep the side airbags and get rid of electronic adjustments to save another 13 pounds.

Parts can be purchased individually, or the complete package is priced at the equivalent of $50,560. It is currently only available in Japan.

Hahahahahaha :lmao:

[seanrg1116]

expensive but HOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTT!

[UpSideDownDesi]

somone go slap the marketing department at Nismo. $15k for seats and $15k for exhaust? I'll gladly lean toward :2up:

[atlxpat]

somebody get prices for exhausts for ferrari's
i'd like to compare

[umairejaz]

LOL

I beat you to it ;)

LOL @ Nismo

[Bruce Leroy]

The crazy thing is that they don't note any power gains at all. Why pay that much money to save 11lbs? 11lbs on a gtr is worthless.

[VooDooXII]

Damn...the BSR/Simons/Jetex exhaust I want is $750.

Yay SAAB.

[SLOWR/T]

They really dont want to sell that exhaust

[alpine_aw11]

WTF kind of douchebaggery is this? No exhaust system is worth 20k. But I'm sure Nismo knows the greaseball d-bags who own GTR's will gladly pay for it.

[EJ25RUN]

I wonder what a real race peice would cost.

[man]

Wait if the sport kit is $50k (2/3 price of the fuckin car???) how much is the v-spec gonna be? $200k??? Nissan must be out of their minds

[G.C]

Talk bout wasting money.

[TypeRPersonality]

LOL, makes Mugen seem affordable!

[94ludeguy]

I wonder what a real race peice would cost.

lets just say 500 for strait pipes out the ass and call it a day. or i that not compatible either. just like any other shit is for it. i guess if ppl will pay then why not

[Sam C.]

Wow, and I always thought Dinan was expensive.

[Atlblkz06]

The Corvette C5 Z06 came STOCK with a titanium suspension.

If a Chevy had it, it cant be THAT expensive!

[/shoots foot]

[Z33_kid]

juss wait for the gtr vspec everything on that will be overpriced

[antiv6]

lol @ jdm, i think over 700 for any catback is a ton of cash

[Ronsam2006]

Wow...the GTR is really getting a bad name very quickly...hopefully in a few years, we can see these prices drop and the potential of the GTR can be shown.

nismo products are rather overpriced IMO.

But the gt-r getting a bad name is relative. To most ppl on IA, yes this might be true. But skylines have amassed a huge following and many ppl enthusiasts can appreciate it for what it is, like me.

And I think the potential of the car has been shown.

Yeah...the one part you left out was you are a douche.

[Catnip]

Wait, does the exhaust void the warranty?
:lmfao:

[antiv6]

lol im sure it voids the warranty unless you pay the dealer 10 grand to install ithttp://www.miataturbo.net/forum/images/smilies/dancinggreddy2.gif

I'm pretty sure it would actually. :lmfao::lmfao::lmfao::lmfao::lmfao:

everybody THOUGHT it did until the REAL lap times at the ring were published. i give it credit for being a nice car and a fast car, but its not as good as all the hype people like YOU talk up.

oh, maximas are gay.

[87 Turbo II]

Does the exhaust let you keep your warranty when you turn VDC off? It'd make sense. That $20,000 you';re paying would cover the price of the transmission they'd have to replace. Now I see why it costs so much........................

that or Nismo hates everyone who loves cars.

[Got Milk?]

GTR FAILS, THAT CAR IS A JOKE FOR WHAT IS COSTS!

[Vteckidd]

ehhhh the VDC voiding the warranty is no worse than Mitsu and Subaru voiding warranties on EVO and STIs for running in SCCA and at track events.

Its a supercar so the last thing they want to do is start warrantying high dollar parts for people acting a fool. The transmission is extremely sophisticated and i can see them not warrantying people doing 6000rpms launches.

as far as cost for the exhaust, its OEM, its not going to void a warranty. Relatively speaking its as stupid as a $2000 mugen valve cover back in the day. Its as stupid as paying $35,000 for the MUGEN civic that had a wing, wheels and springs.

to each his own

[Elbow]

Subaru does support Subaru drivers with the SCCA

[Vteckidd]

Subaru does support Subaru drivers with the SCCA
not in the beginning they were voiding warranties from people that registered in certain track events. They were checking vins against registration sheets and voiding warranties.

it was all over Nasioc and Evolutionm
