Alright then! I cant wait!

Yeah, major GTR tax on parts. Ive been doing alot of lurking on forums and reading alot about the r35 platform. I guess companies figure if you have the money for a GTR, then you have the money for GTR parts lol. Its just like any other high end exotic or high end super car. Its a little out of control to say the least.
