i like how they say only 2 wheels for sale but in one of the pictures you can clearly see there is 3 wheels and maybe even 4 if the pictures were taken a little further away. who knows... but im surprised the owner of the gtr didnt get wheel locks when he purchased the car... maybe he paid to much for the gtr to buy wheel locks..
Remember...
Locks keep honest people honest, alarms keep bad thieves looking for a easier target, but if someone wants your ****, its gone.
Wheel locks, ALL wheel locks, are a joke. I can show you 10 ways to beet them in just seconds. Really the only thing they are for is to slow down the thieves some.

meh, the skyline just doesnt do it for me.
I dont like how it has all the electronic creature comforts that a luxury car deserves.
It needs to be manual
It needs to get rid of traction control
It needs to get rid of electronic stability
plus a plethora of other nuisances

Sadly having a well performing car doesn't make you a worthy driver. If they didn't have those options, more people would probably wreck them on the street. The f430, and I believe even the f430 SCUDERIA has traction control, stability control as do many similarly classed cars. Also the scuderia ferraris fastest f430, faster than enzo around their test track, doesn't come with a true manual. Can't complain too much, it's lap times and performance speak for car, and thats nuff said.

I think you and I will agree to disagree on this one.
Id rather drive a car, then let a car drive me around the track

1. Why are you using the grin-smile emoticon in the subject? 
2. I can't believe that the owner of that car was using the most standard cheapy lug nuts that you get for free at Americas tire co!
3. Someone asked why he's parked in public... Why not? It's not a Bugatti or anything, it's still just a Nissan which isn't even as expensive as a Porsche turbo. People who aren't into cars don't even know what a GTR is, I bet they wouldn't even give it a second glace.
I really, REALLY wish I had one. In all honesty though, if I had a choice of getting a free GTR of any year/body style, and if the rules said that I could never sell it, I'd have to keep it, I wouldn't get the new GTR... I'd get a GTR R34 VSpec II in WR Blue with anthricite wheels (the stock thin spoked 19" wheels that come with the car). That truly is my ideal car that I'd use for everything. As much as I love Porsche, I'd much rather have the R34 then a Porsche turbo... *sigh* Too bad it wont ever happen! 
I love the boxiness of it, it's huge fender blisters, its beautifully simple headlights... It's just a friggin masterpiece. I love the new one and all, but the R34 has a special place in my heart and always will.

i figure the majority, say 60%-80% of the thieves out there are amateurs. and if you can keep the majority of the thieves away, its a win in my book. its the billy beane approach to security!
