Hello all you lucky people with your shiny cars.
I have lusted after one of these since forever. Growing up a guy a few streets over had two of them, I always thought they were gorgeous and the more I learnt about them the more I wanted one.
Finally I'm sorta expecting that towards the end of this year or early next year I might be in a position to get one.
I've read the model guide but it's not all clear to me, help me get the perfect spec and clarify some things?
>I want a SWB, Slicky, TT, Manual. Stiffer, lighter.. er.. lower polar moment due to SWB?
>I prefer the old spec bumper with the nice vents (95ish??), can this be fitted to newer cars?
>VVT (or whatever Nissan call(ed) it), I think this is a must why settle for less power/torque, if I can find one with, I should, right?
>Heated mirrors are a must, can they be retro-fitted? I hear there are JDM folding mirrors, can I have heated and folding mirrors?
>Would prefer leather interior, how many bits are different? If it's just the seats I could buy them? How good is the support anyway? I'm sick of having to hold myself up in corners! Buckets and proper harnesses required?
>Would like a passenger airbag (I think)? and pillar mount seatbelts are a must.
>HICAS, hydraulic vs electric vs bin it, opinions? I am usually anti TC/ASM type things but they're normally fuel-cutting (power cutting), surely if it's angling the back wheels that potentially means you are going quicker, turning in quicker, not going slower, so it's good? Is the control strategy understood, has anyone figured out how to take control of and re-calibrate it?
>Imports, some advertised as X number of miles, first Y in KM? Does this mean when imported the clocks are converted to start counting in miles.. but somehow add it to the original KM reading?
>Imports again, under body treatment, as I understand JDM cars don't have that black stuff on the bottom and should have this put on as soon as they're imported? but then if it's rust free it's rust free?
sorry, bit of a long post..
