G ot the clutch replaced over the weekend and finally had the chance to take it out for a drive. Haven’t really had the ability to rip on it yet (trying to get at least 100 miles on the clutch before hitting it hard) but it’s got a surprising amount of torque down low. Turbos audibly spo ol around 2500 rpm then feel like a flat torque curve from there. Clutch was a little fiddly to get it, the order of operations on the r154 is a little different than I was used to (pull type pressure plate, so you bol t the pp to the flywheel after installing the transmission. Went with an OEM supra turbo disk, an action clutch 2800lb flywheel, and a 11lb aluminum flywheel.

Do far, driving it around, the comparisons I see to e34 m5s are accurate. It’s comfortable, capable, and surprisingly quick. It’s also the most low key Japanese sports car that ever got produced. It’s totally invisible on the road.

Of course all that aside, the best feature...

It has an AC vent pointed right at “ critical” areas. Not even maybach has that!

Im going to commute with it for the next week or so , which should get me enough miles to be ripping on it by the Portland oppo meet.

I bet you could pull a burnout right in front of a cop car and they’d just be confused about where the squealing and smoke is coming from.

There were definitely some double takes when it made spooly noises

Did you remove fender mirrors?

It never had fender mirrors, those are signals

I wouldn’t compare it to a M5 it’s SIGNIFICANTLY lighter. It’s way better. Probably more like a 4 door 3 series.

I’m trying to import a R33 GTR and they are proving to be ridiculously expensive at the moment. JZX90 is top of my list on a fallback.
