A close friend of mine has a 12sec two ton car. and it's just a V8 no FI

AMC AMX old school rules.

12s are the new 13s!

It's hard enough to run a deep 11 let alone a sub 10 second pass especially in a car with IRS.

Straight line and corners. GTR FTW.

5k a set of rears aye.

Worse than an M3.

ISO fail because there was fcuk all light when some of the pics were taken =\

I was considering a drop, but i sorta cbf with any of the hassles (i.e. speed humps / driveways / rubbing in the rear guards)

LEDs are going to be installed in Jan, along with new interior trim (damn titanium shadow), and valve adjustment.

Wouldn't be much more than the running costs on an M3. I know which one I'd rather have!

from what ive heard they are very expensive

Define very expensive.

If you can afford $180k for the car, you can afford to service it.

Pricing from Nissan
10000km - $600
20000Km - $600
30000Km - $2500

ok cheaper then i thought
i remember someone saying close to 10k, or they maybe pulled it out of there ass

Its in the USA, it doesn't really have a basis for local servicing costs as we pay vastly more for vehicles here.

The prices I listed were from Nissan Von Bibra in QLD for servicing a GTR here, in Australia. Again, its a $180k car, not a $40k car.

BMW routinely change all the fluids when cars come in for service don't they? Oh wait, "lifetime fluids."

LSM3, you have a Kiwi interior? Nice
