scheme of the day:
- find and convince a dumb nissan dealer to sell us a GTR at or near sticker
- all chip in on the purchase so we can buy cash
- sell on ebay for 30-60k profit
- enjoy our free $$$


Didn't this happen to the NSX Back in '94..?? Car came here 2 years before that then limited availablity pushed dealers to charge up to $90k...people paid it...then that became the sticker price from there on out. Once Nissan gains control after a model year of this, it will probably be at that price of their est $129k. Which will show the public how much profit Nissan will be getting from each sale, along with huge factory kick-back (backdoor) money to the dealer post sale per unit. I believe it costs more than $69k to import an R34. And for them to sticker a US market car for that, in which it replaces....who knows. It's still a lot of money. I just hope every new GTR sale goes to people who will use it for what it is.

so i've been searching all over the web for the past several weeks, and it looks like this has to be _the_ best website _ever_ for electronics. They have all the micros i need, sockets, all components, _and_ they manufacturer custom PCB prototypes at super competitive prices.

i was looking for cheap custom PCBs for prototypes, double sided with blue solder mask and silkscreen.

also some cheap microprocessors - specifically cheap Atmel AVR ATMega series, with a built in multiply, at least 2 PWM outputs, and 6+ ADC ins. prefer TQFP or PLCC packages and sockets for PLCCs. and i want them running at least 16MHz.

not a fan of the low pin count processors, because i really don't feel like using analog mux's.

haha.. pretty sure after that second song my band kicked me out for the night and got someone else to play drums.. i dont think the coors light helped any either


on another note i just wanted to let paul and avengerhed know that i no longer need the SP cover. i ended up striking a deal with a guy from NJ and traded some parts. just wanted to say thanks anyway for trying to hook a brother up!
