wow shoot a guy down,
the information i was given was from a high posting memeber on the gtr owners club, a very well know and respected guy, i should of said the expensive tyre was for the new 2011 model car where they revised the design of the wheels and they had to develop a new tyre, which i was told can officially be bought through nissan, i know this as he got a nail in his after a few weeks and needed to replace the tyre.
he also uses a higher grade gearbox oil as he take the car out on track,
regarding the colour it was actually the paint company that told me, as i needed to price a job up that had been cocked up by some one due to not using the correct colour
wow what an arsey forum,

Perhaps dont end a post full of negative with a "haha" and you'll find we are very civilised people

i didn't think the post was negitive, more informative. lets face it if your spending the hard earned on a new gtr, then the price of tyres probably wont be an issue, how ever if your buying one used then these costs may be hidden,
i was told that the wheels are cast magnesium alloy, hence the run flats as if not fitted the alloys can be damaged, obs they are a little bit more expensive than the tyre round it,

the cost to service and maintain the car is the same, regardless of it being bought new or used.....
A new wheel from the stealers will set you back just shy of 2bags....however i have used runflat and none runflat rubber....prefer the runflat for the stiffer side wall, but will be getting the R888s next....knowing my luck just in time for winter ha

hardly a shoot down, telling people what the parts actually cost,
i think there an amazing car and an amazing feat of engineering actually, and had i the money it would be the first car i buy.
to think i actually used to pay to keep this forum running aswell, just because i dont have 2000+ posts doesnt give you the right to be a ****.
enjoy your holiday,

re the transmission cooler,
me and eddie fitted one to his 10 plate car, it was a very decent bit of kit, bumper duct required a bit of cutting though,
fwhat its worth it did a good job, but he did say it was a little overkill on the standard car, i know he uses aftermarket gearbox fluid which had a better temp rating, not sure if he still has it or sold it though,

I like the look of the Mines canards too, they look effective rather than just for show. Less keen on the $2641 price tag 
. Doubt they would be road legal anyway, I can see some pedestrians being chopped up if they get in the way

the canards are gorgeous, all their stuff is spot in design and quality wise.....im a big fan of stock looking cars with a twist, if i was going for some aero i think i would wait and save for the mines stuff it really is immaculate fit and finish to the extent that it could look like it was actually like that from the factory
