I'm out!

achenator · 09-19-2010, 09:22 PM

Been thinking of getting rid of my 08 e90 for a while for something a little sportier since it's just a weekend car. A friend called me up with an offer I couldn't refuse. 2010 premium 1400 miles.

Boost Gomez · 09-19-2010, 09:40 PM

Nice choice. Enjoy the GT-R in good health and by all means, take it to the track!

Kensta335 · 09-20-2010, 03:24 AM

Nice upgrade.

Congrats! Thinking about making the same upgrade!

ibeclueless · 09-20-2010, 06:03 AM

very nice

M3 Pilot · 09-20-2010, 07:46 AM

Congrats. Nice car.

I've recently put my E92 up for sale looking to get the GTR.

From my test drive, there is quite a fair bit of transmission whine as speed builds up. Other than that the car is pretty comfortable and the sound is mint with an aftermarket exhaust.

I will definitely miss the RWD fun the E92 provides.

Congrats!

I find the whine "mean", like the car means business.

It does go away though after about 160km/h

I hear ya.

It almost sounds like a Sequential dogbox.

Now this is a transmission whine -->

Is that you in the video ? Doesn't sound stock.

OBI_agent · 09-21-2010, 08:11 AM

Awesome upgrade. Can't go wrong with it. Do a comparison write up as against your m3.

That's me, yes.

I have a midpipe(a must), intakes & a tune. Top end was about 12km/hr faster than the 3 stock GTR's at the same event.

Is Midpipe generally the main restriction in the exhaust system ?

The GTR I test drove had aftermarket midpipes but retained stock mufflers.

I was planning to get AMS's 90mm catless midpipes but depending on where the O2 is located, I might get CEL.

Yeah, the stock midpipes really hamper flow & sound. There O2 sensors are before the mid pipes, so no CEL.

Nice upgrade. Great looking car. It's so...nerdy looking which I mean as a 100% compliment. It looks awesomely nerdy like the Lexus LF-A which I also love.

Enjoy the car!

As a side note, I bet it'd be a blast in an empty snow covered parking lot.

ALPINE6SPD · 09-23-2010, 01:48 PM

Great car. I think it looks awesome no matter what anyone says. I just wish they offered a proper manual. Either way sick ride and an upgrade for sure.
