    Default surely nismo's new GTR exhaust couldn't cost more then a Civic SI...wait WHAT!?!?


    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, "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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
