Tune up, brakes, flushing tranny fluid, timing belt, and so on.

People with these cars have awesome jobs and can AFFORD IT.
I looked at the utube video just now, and I don't think I would like it, my 8 keeps my mind engaged vs the gtr you just sit in the car and go.
It looked so disconnected while the guy was driving, I'm so used to pushing in the clutch pedal, actually shifting, Rev matching, being in control !!
I don't want the car doing anything for me, the technology is awesome don't get me wrong, but not for me..

As far as that exhaust system that the guy has, he'll be visiting a Ref very, very soon.

Sure we do, that's why we don't own them; I could have bought a much more expensive car. I almost bought an R32 GTR, but parts are hard to find and ridiculously expensive. It's not worth it for me. Then there is the inflated pricing, bit that's another topic.

You can't compare the GTR with the evo. They are in completely different levels.

R32, R33, R34, R35 - I don't care for any of them, personally. There's plenty of all of them running around here, I respect them for what they are but don't care enough to own any.

Now an RB25/26 into a 240, that I would care for
