Are you crazy??? I've bonded with that car It's my daily driver anyway plus my get away weekend track car I can't get rid of it. Plus nobody would ever buy it for the price i'd have to sell it for.

sell the charger then. and keep it as a dd. especially if the skyliine is a track car. when owning 2 cars, one of them should be kept comfortable. like my 4door has stock everything except exhaust now

If I were you, I might just consider selling the Skyline. You have the Eclipse that you use everyday and race with too, so your use of the Skyline is limited right? Right now it's money sitting in your driveway.

I remember someone posted the Mine's Skyline segment of that video a long time ago. I always thought it was funny the way Mr. Niikura says "We've been quite soft on tuning in the past, like leaving the engine stock. "

You don't know how much I've thought about actually doing that and selling it to this website about wanting rare imported cars like Skyline's, JDM Supra's, FTO GP-R's and shit like that. I just don't have enough trust in me to sell my car to somebody on the internet. Other than that I doubt somebodies going to pay nearly $60,000-$70,000 for it when they can import one around the same amount but just alot more used.

Yeah soft my ass even the past Mine's Skyline's were awesome. The Mine's BNR34 is just a freaking absolute track monster.

The Eclipse is very comfortable when I switch the setting on the EDFC to not a harsh ride. I only switch it to "sport mode" or "race mode" when I'm on the track but during daily driving I have it a little harsher than stock but it still rides good. The ride is brutal when you're at the track but that's understandable.

You've got to be kidding me, I'm so used to the power and oompf of the supercharger that if I sold it and went back to just bolt-on's and nitrous I'd sell the car completely because of how slow it would be.

yea i got a kick out of that too. the skyline is still a beast when all you do is the external mods.

they said they kept the same displacement though... it makes me wonder what they did to the engine... resleave and all that yea... but probably cams and valve trains... maybe even higher compression to make the power band even all the way across.... well we will never know.
